I was operated on by a surgeon who was busted for crack, sometime before my surgery. Unbeknownst to me, he had been placed into an 'Impaired physicians' program.

My prescribed one, to two-day hospital stay, turned into six days. This guy never came to the hospital to check my progress, even once!

 

Maybe he was at the local crack house, for a few day bender? 😂

Something was 'off' about this guy. I found out about him from a Court Clerk who was at his arrangement. I was bitching about the lack of professionalism of the Doc, and it was one of those 'Oh, I know who that guy is' stories.

Given that we don't actually need our spleen to survive, but losing our liver would kill us, that could not have ended well.  

Yeah, patient died

In third grade Bell asked his teacher if she brought enough gum for everyone. I think this is along those same lines.

 

Literally.

The cigarette piece probably is applicable across the board. In college, (25 years ago) it felt like 1 out of every 2 people smoked cigarettes, at least socially. There were smoking sections in restaurants, you could buy cigarettes at all stores. I can count on one hand (probably I haven’t tested this) how many people I know now that are smokers. Back then, I could have counted hundreds (or at least dozens).
Social smoking seems to have plummeted as well. That probably goes together. There are less actual smokers so less people have cigarettes to bum.

 

In terms of cocaine, I’m assuming that part of the reason it feels so much more common now is probably age and where people are in their careers. It wasn’t rampant in college (although it was there) because it was too expensive and hard to get. Now, I see all these executives and business people trying to stretch their limits. That’s why it’s so common with these football coaches. They’re not putting in 16-18 days on coffee and adrenaline.
 

Cocaine has been common throughout my professional life (although I don’t use cocaine because I’m terrified of fentanyl). People do though and they do all the time. It was that way when I was in sports and certainly that way in insurance. Finance bros. are worse than all of them. I don’t know if it is like that in other cultures but the “rat race” is filled with it. It’s really easy to get.
 

I was on a bachelor party a few years back and there was roughly 20 guys. 80% of them were partaking. These were doctors, lawyers, accountants, and a few business owners. Half of them had families at the time. From my experience way more people use it than you’d think. Maybe it was like that before and now I’m just in the age group / social circles where it has always been. My exposure to it though has grown exponentially over the last 10-15 years.

Two of the women I saw in college outside the dorm ripping cigs daily (2003-04) died from cancer in their early 30s. I’m a financial advisor and know a few people who are on drugs, but I’m not, and never will be. My cousin was admitted to the hospital with a blood pressure of 200/155 and ended up dying at 30 after ravaging his body. Seen way too many other people throw their lives away to ever mess with that, and I don’t want to be around them either.

The conversation shifted to Adderall and here I am struggling to keep my eyes open at work tonight while on an Adderall prescription for adhd.  It's not helping the focus either.

I mean who doesn't have a little toot at the office every now and then
