I for the life of me can not understand why even someone would *try* to experiment with opioids. I'm sure it feels fucking damn good, but there's never a happy ending for anyone who gets started on it.
I've had a bulging disc, too one percocet and that one pill was enough for me to never take one again and just suck the pain up with Neproxen. |

For those asking. Fentanyl is often mixed in with heroin to give the illusion of a stronger product. It gives a strong powerful high, is cheap as fuck, but the high doesn't last as long as heroin. Dealers will even mix hot batches, adding fentanyl to intentionally cause an overdose because the junkies hear about it and want to buy the product that caused an OD. And the ever popular photo.

Patches are dangerous as hell. I've worked two child deaths (6 and 4) where the kids found a patch in the trash and put it on their arm "just like grandma does". The ME has told me that some of the patches have enough left after use to kill an adult that is not used to them.
I firmly believe they kill the elderly because they already have one patch on, forget that they do and put on another. |

I wish I could somehow come up with some empathy for the people in these self-created situations, but... I just can't.
One way or another, unless someone forces you to do it at gunpoint, every addict made a choice, somewhere along the line, to take that drug. You can't be made a slave to the chemical unless you let it into your life in the first place, and I've never, ever met anyone that was an addict or an alcoholic who got that way because someone else forced that choice on them. I feel sorry for those kids, who are the only real victims here, but the parents? Fuck 'em--They had responsibilities to those kids, and they literally abandoned them for the drugs. You want to bring kids into the world? Take fucking responsibility for raising them to adulthood properly, before you start in with the damn-near-certain-to-kill-you hobbies. All I can say is that I sincerely hope that stupid sonuvabitch had a decent insurance plan in place. Although, I kinda-sorta doubt it, for some reason... |

Quoted:
To save the google search: Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. It is a schedule II prescription drug, and it is typically used to treat patients with severe pain or to manage pain after surgery. It is also sometimes used to treat patients with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to other opioids. In its prescription form, fentanyl is known by such names as Actiq®, Duragesic®, and Sublimaze®.Street names for fentanyl or for fentanyl-laced heroin include Apache, China Girl, China White, Dance Fever, Friend, Goodfella, Jackpot, Murder 8, TNT, and Tango and Cash.

Random drug screens are only given at the end of a trip. And, it takes days/weeks to get the results. The airlines like it this way because a.) they won't have to cancel or delay a flight if the pilot/FA busts BEFORE they fly and b.) it's cheaper to not do the analysis on site because, for airline management, cheaper is ALWAYS better.

Fentanyl is killing a lot of people. People get addicted to pain pills, loose the prescription and buy pills from the street. Street pulls cost too much so they hit heroin. Dealers mix fentanyl with heroin to get a better high but people OD a lot because of it. NARCAN doesn't work as well on fentanyl as it did on heroin so now everyone has to buy the new and improved NARCAN. NARCAN is a money grabbing racket.....my rant to the story. View Quote |

I knew this pilot, Brian. He and I started at a regional airline together 13 years ago. We weren't really friends. Even calling us acquaintances would be a bit of a stretch. But I've been around him in training, after training in the crew room and in the airport, on Beale Street, and at least once at the hotel bar in Cincinnati. This guy had what I've always referred to as an "addictive personality". He was a real heavy guy, ate too much, always chewed, and he could drink like Babe Ruth. I always thought he came off like a bit of a fool.
I hate to say that about someone I knew a little that's just died. But I'm trying to be completely objective. He never seemed to work real hard when it came to studying. But he'd be the first guy at the bar with a big ol' dip in his mouth. I remember how he looked when he partied hard. Sweaty, bleary-eyed, and goofy. Shit eating grin on his face. But never any malice in his mayhem. He was jovial enough, never a mean guy. He'd have been a top pick of mine for someone that might've earned a DWI or for failing a whiz-quiz. But I gotta admit, fentonyl really surprised me. Never knew he was a heavy hitter. That's just really rare in our profession. Sleeping around and hard drinking are still relatively popular forms of distraction but real drugs is a rarity. Damn do I feel bad for his kids. Two of them already lost their biological father to drugs. Now they've lost them all. Hope they've got good grandparents. |

Got it when I got shot, and pretty sure they used it as anesthesia when I had a wisdom tooth extracted back in December.

This happened in an affluent suburb.....he was a a captain with spirit airlines ....wow Couple found dead while children sleep.... Brian Hayle was a pilot for Spirit Airlines, the company confirmed to this news organization. A couple identified as Brian and Courtney Halye were found dead in their Centerville home after two children in the home called 9-1-1 saying their parents were unresponsive. Coroner says deaths appear to be fentanyl related 9-1-1 calls: Two kids in the home said their parents wouldn’t wake up We’re still working to get an official cause of death and more on Brian Halye’s pilot work history “Captain Hayle served at the airline for just over nine years,” said Paul Berry, the company spokesman. “Our hearts go out to the family, friends and colleagues of Captain Hayle.” Hayle flew his last flight March 10, the company said. UPDATE @ 5:11 p.m. The Centerville Police Department released two 9-1-1 calls made by two children in the home where Brian and Courtney Halye were found dead. A 13-year-old boy told the dispatcher, "my two parents, I just woke up, and my parents are on the floor. My sister said they are not waking up." His sisters found their parents dead on the floor of their bedroom upstairs. He went on to say his parents had been fine the night before. The dispatcher determined 4 children were in the home-ages 13, 11, 10 and 9. One of the 3 girls also called 9-1-1 and said to the dispatcher, “my mom's on the floor and my stepdad, they're not waking up...we just woke up for school.” View Quote Suburb of this fine city isn't it - http://wdtn.com/2016/05/24/dayton-tops-worst-cities-for-heroin-overdoses-list/ according to follow up news reports, mom has had a drug problem for some time.. |
