Thank you so much for reaching out. I had about 5 gallon charcoal bags administered through a nasal tube. They tell you to keep swapping the vomit and keep it down. The doctor left and said the pills were too digested to save me (about 200 sleeping pills) and I never saw him again. I’ll never forget the nurse saying I was going to make it and pulling pulverized bits of sleeping pills from my vomit.

How terribly awful, I am so sorry for the experience you went through as a result of taking sleeping pills. I agree with avmcbellar, some doctors know pretty much nothing, which is spelled M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E. Then there are the ones that are really really sharp. God forbid you are dealt with by one of the know nothings, which it sounds like you were. I am so very glad you survived and are here with us my dear. Best, Hank
@bustrbrwn22 Thank you for sharing, I now include you as one of my heroes, Like Hank and Jim you have been to the edge and back. I am glad to see you back. Stay close to this community at Mayo Connect and know sometimes you will need to fire those Mediocre practitioners or at least move one.
Keep focused on the moment. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. but now. Smile. David

Hi @bustrbrwn22. Thanks for sharing. What an awful experience! Some doctors can be so insensitive. Doctors don’t insert the nasal tubes because nurses do. I am glad your nurse had a positive attitude. That was a big help to you. Doctors don’t always know everything. That is why I just listen to them and make my own conclusions. Glad to see you are moving on to combat a health issue using Connect. So much can be learned through this chat( and much quicker too) by asking us. We have many experiences and suggestions that may help you. Best of luck to you!
