Dressing change hell

So you are covered in abscess's. Where did these abscess's come from?? You are using heroin and meth... and apparently you think the best route is "skin popping."

NOT my issue.

But you want treatment for these abscess's... cause I'm sure the are causing you pain and issues. Fine... welcome to our hospital. The doctors admit you, they treat you with antibiotics, and they even take you to minor surgery and clean some of these abscess's out.

You are a guest in this fine hospital of ours. We are feeding you, we are boarding you, we are giving you medicine's finest antibiotics to rid you of these pests, we are giving you pain medicine for the discomfort you must feel after years of "skin popping" that you applied upon yourself, and we are changing your abscess's dressings so that you might heal. SO PLEASE DO NOT SCREAM BLOODY MURDER TO THE NURSE WHEN THEY ARE DOING THESE THINGS FOR YOU.

And... going AMA so that you can go get your "fix" so that you can "handle" your dressing changes will not be tolerated. We will NOT save your bed for 5 hours, so that when you return we can give you MORE drugs and then try to "treat" your condition.

Cause NOW... I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. If you want those "pesty" abscess's off... I'll just take your arms off completely. Try smoking your meth or shooting up your heroin without arms.

Take a picture, please... I'd like to see it.
