  • That documentary was crazy. When they tested models and it kept crushing before meeting depth, all he would say was it will work at full size. At the end he was surrounded by either yes men or ppl fresh out of uni. That test where it was just Rush going down and it was constant popping. You can hear him getting more and more scared. When he aborted early, he said it was on purpose to mark the dive. He knew he was full of shit, but his ego wouldn’t allow him to say he was wrong.







  • I remember watching an old 50s info film, I can’t find it, where the army had an asbestos burning contest. I can’t remember exactly why they were doing it, but it had to be done and they decided to make it a whole thing. People stood right next to the burning barrels stirring occasionally , faces full of soot and what looked about 50 soldiers sitting around cheering. I’m sure they didn’t make it to 50.





  • There’s a patient that we would see a couple of days per month. They’d OD on heroin, we hit them with narcan and an electrolyte IV to hydrate. He’d eat something and leave. We would give him resources to get some help. Each time I’d get more and more angry.

    6 months of this and I finally asked why he’d OD almost like clockwork. He said the good stuff sold fast and he’d only get enough for like 2 maybe 3 hits(?highs, fixes?) The guy’s life was just waiting on his dealer to get it. He would figure out how to make enough cash to keep his withdrawals at bay while saving up to buy up as much as he could when the good stuff arrived.

    The last time I saw him, day shift told me he came in, got hit with narcan twice, this was after EMTs had given him narcan as well. when he was steady enough, he left AMA(against medical advice). He came back 3 hrs later for another OD. Doctor came in and told him he’s killing himself. this organ is damaged, this one has this, blah, blah, blah. He responded that he’d be fine if we would stop killing his high. I did the usual and he left sometime the next day.

    We haven’t seen him in 4 months. I guess he finally got to enjoy his high.
