I was in the ER one time with a combination of asthma, broncitis, a sinus infection, and the early stage of pneumonia. The ER nurse listened to my lungs with a stethoscope and started laughing. Then she said “we’re going go ahead and admit you”. My now ex said “when do you think he’ll get out tomorrow?” She said “Oh it’s not gonna be tomorrow”. It was 4 days.
…but we can sedate it. I can identify with that. Valium should be over the counter, like aspirin, because it’s still illegal to choot commies and idiots*.
*We’re talking Broad Spectrum, Idiots here. Some discernment will be required.
When I worked hospital security, we had two types of medical restraints – soft or hard. Soft restraints were nylon or leather straps, hard ones were metal handcuff and chains.
We had an out of control psyche patient one of my early days there. I asked the nurse what kind of restraints they wanted us to use.
She said – ‘just hold him down while we hit him with some chemical restraints’.
That’s when I found out we had three kinds of restraints, not two.
Haldol and Ativan in large doses would generally do the trick. There were times everybody would pig pile a patient and several nurses would have syringes ready to inject into arms, legs, buttocks wherever a part was available, you just had to worry in the scrum if your arm or legs was not targeted, made for an interesting rest of the shift. Then the hard 5 or 7 point restraints came out after you were unceremoniously dumped into your bed and whomever got injured was carted off to ER.
No “Time for a TikTok dance!” Pen?

The physical therapist I had after my motorcycle wreck deserves the #1 pen and the ER techs get #5!

You left the “I” out of a title word
Excellent gift to the nursing staff taking care of you IF you appreciate their work.
Every time I was hospitalized the staff deserved this – I *ASSume* you can get it on Amazon, etc.
