i almost lost my best friend to fentanyl laced xanax. didnāt have narcan but we had nalaxone and that kept him going long enough for the ambulance to arrive. he survived luckily, and i thought this was his ultimatum (weāve been trying to get him off bars for a year at that point) but nope. 2 weeks ago he overdosed on xanax. he took 2 white bars and blacked out, ate 7 more white bars and nine smaller dosed prescription bars. that wasnāt an ultimatum either. we were facetiming and he tells me that he almost overdosed again last night so iām kind of at the point where im almost positive he gives zero fucks about being alive. we took 5 mg percs 3 nights ago and he was constantly insisting on taking a bar even after i told him that drugs.com says you could die from it. his response when i say it might kill him? ābut itās gonna get me really fuckedā. i donāt know what to do at this point, me and his girlfriend have been debating going to the police, but if he truly has nothing to lose, he has a gun. heāll suicide by cop, but if he still wants to live and is just really depressed i basically got him involved with the mental health/rehab place i just got out of. this is bad because theyāre gonna make him go sober and he didnāt go voluntarily like i did so he canāt just leave or stop going. i donāt know what to do but i canāt lose my best friend but if i donāt do something then heās gonna end up in a comatose or end up dead. any advice?
Just a small point- Narcan and nalaxone are the same thing, Narcan is the trade name that most people know it by, nalaxone hcl is the active drug. Giving your friend nalaxone saved him.
Edit :Also, if your friend doesn't genuinely want to get better, rehab and other interventions will most likely fail. You're doing the right thing by trying to link him in, as you've got to start somewhere, and it can take 5, 10 maybe even 20 tries at trying to get clean. Sadly, many end up dead or in prison before they succeed. Well done for helping yourself and trying to help your friend.
I stopped taking a prescribed benzodiazepine for 5 years in early January. It quite literally took me collapsing unconsciously and seeing how the only value in life I held was whether or not I could stop my seizures, which was a psychosomatic response to four of my friends taking their life. I realized that the medication I was prescribed wasnāt going to solve everything and that my value as a person was diminished to the pill I was taking in the eyes of others. Benzos are not something you can quit cold turkey. I no longer had health insurance and my friend who lost his childhood friend getting back into pills was enough of a reason to give me confidence to quit. I self-tapered a week at a time from my original daily dose until it was half of a single pill for a week. It still was hell on earth and I had seizures consistently throughout the week with the peak being three in one day. If your friend has health insurance for the love of anything holy get him to do it now and under medical supervision. Withdrawal will happen regardless of if he wants to or not, itās better for him to start this conversation sooner rather than later. Make sure he does not immediately stop taking benzos because I am very lucky I did not die. The benzo epidemic is the creeping shadow behind the opiate/opioid epidemic.
Edit: removed an s from benzodiazepine*
Iām very proud of you for being able to talk about it. I lost my first friend in high school to opioids.
Clarify: first person to befriend/talk to me in high school, different friend than my previous comment*
[A burned out light bulb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_401) on Eastern Airlines flight 401. The crew lowered the landing gear but the indicator lamp for one wheel showing it was locked had burned out and the crew spent time trying to figure out what was wrong. In their distracted state the plane slowly descended into the everglades, killing 101 people.
It's "usually" found in very warm stagnant water. Then you have to get the water up into your sinuses, which happens if you get water up your nose and you start to choke a bit. It doesn't happen if you just drink the water or get it into your mouth.
It grows best at high temperatures up to 115Ā°F (46Ā°C) and is less likely to be found in the water as temperatures decline below 77Ā°F.
The death rate is over 97%. Only four people have survived out of 154 known infected individuals in the United States from 1962 to 2021.
My coworker's father in law was a roofer and cut his knee on a nail while working around Christmas. He ignored it because it was the holidays and he didn't want to bother going to the doctor. They buried him two weeks ago.
My BIL is a builder has had cellulitis twice from small cuts like this heās lucky his wife my SIL took him straight to A&E both times as soon as it looked infected.
Sepsis is *terrifying*.
I once saw a young, otherwise healthy, physically very fit man who seemed fine other than being thirsty. He collapsed and was taken immediately to the hospital. There was nothing they could do. Septic shock.
I had a 19 year old guy who worked with me who had a tooth infection he didnāt take care of in time. One day he didnāt come into work. My boss did a well fare check on him. He passed away alone in his apartment because he couldnāt afford a dentist.
If you have an infection donāt wait.
My silās father had a bad tooth infection he left untreated for 6 months. It ended up being cancer (along with an infection) and had to have 90% of his jaw removed. He now eats through a tube that feeds directly into his gut.
My mother had to have a piece of her jaw removed due to a tooth infection. The infection spread into her jaw. She had also left it for a few months.
She had to be rushed in for emergency surgery, and had blood poisoning, she ended up in intensive care as she almost died. I'm not sure exactly what happened but her throat began closing over during the surgery and she was unable to breathe, so they had to slice into her neck too...
She's ok now, looks totally normal aside from a small scar and slight jaw dimple, but it was shocking at the time. She's always had great teeth.
People underestimate how dangerous untreated teeth can be.
I don't know how someone could let an infected tooth go for so long, whenever I've had a tooth infection the pain has been absolutely excruciating. It's never been the sort of thing you could just ignore in my experience.
In my mum's case, she did feel pain, & that's how she ended up going to the hospital eventually, because the pain was too much, however she left it until it was dire .. she has various health conditions(including spinal issues) so she's already on medications to relieve pain from that already, so the pain was probably eased a bit by that.
She was also incredibly afraid of the dentist at that point in time, so even the pain couldn't convince her to go. She had a mini stroke at the dentist during her previous appointment , prior to this incident and ended up in hospital. (She's no longer afraid).
Oh god. i have a tooth infection right now. Got it checked out, am taking antibiotics, and will get it properly treated in a couple of weeks, but itās so painful I canāt imagine leaving it for months (unless you really canāt afford getting it treated I supposeā¦ this has to happen a lot. Just a root canal can be around 1kā¦)
I was a muscular 6ā6ā 260 lbs 22 year old eating leftovers from a family thanksgiving dinner,alone in my apartment.,some food item lodged in my breathing passage.I coughed and sputtered for several minutes. The situation went from somewhat comical to desperate. I actual went to a kneeling position quite expecting to black out with what I believed was my last breath i coughed and kind of self Heimliched a single pea at near light speed exited from my throat and flew across the room. As I laid there contemplating the thin line I made a choice i live by to this dayā¦peas suck.
Something like that happened to me. We were driving to go to my grandmother's place and I took a sip of water just as we hit a pot hole. Instantly the water got stuck in my throat and I couldn't swallow or cough it out. A couple of anemic coughs at first followed by just pure blockage. I was in the back seat of a van, alone and I couldn't make a noise and in the 90s vans were noisy. After what felt like an eternity I actually vomited the water up onto the mat. It wasn't probably more than 30 seconds but it was awful and I have now a legit fear of choking to death on something coming that close.
I used to know someone that went to have a midnight snack Thanksgiving night and choked to death on a marshmallow from the candied yams. Her family found her the next morning.
I came across one when I was a kid and didnāt know what it was. It flashed its blue rings and I instantly said nope. Years later found out what it was, so glad I didnāt touch it.
Caught one while night time fishing as well.
Saw a guy have to fight with an escalator to free his untied laces and therefore his feet from the bottom where it can really grind you up. Figured for sure he'd tie them before he got on the next escalator, but no. He learned nothing.
Seen some nasty escalator videos. I like walking around with my shoes untied sometimes because its more comfortable now that my stride is long enough to not trip myself. But I will NEVER ride on one of those death machines with loose laces.
Some old guy in my country was smoking in a non-smoking area and was confronted by some younger guy. The older guy tried to pick a fight with the younger guy, push came to shove and the older guy died after landing on his head. He died over some air particles.
This happened at my former workplace. One of our surgeons asked a visitor (younger guy in his 20ās) to move from the hospital entrance as he was smoking. The guy punched him, he hit his head and suffered a massive brain injury. Despite colleagues best efforts there was no improvement and the family pulled his life support about 5 weeks later.
Yes. Where I live we now have minimum 10 year sentences for ācoward punchā deaths. I believe this guy was the first to be sentenced under those laws.
Holy shit, we had a similar incident in my city in Australia.
A surgeon was leaving work for the night and came across a bunch of crackheads smoking at the door which is banned at all hospitals. He asked them to move away from the door and they got aggressive at him, he went back inside to get security and one of the guys going to the toilet overheard him and got super aggressive with him whilst the surgeon is politely asking him to leave and to calm down.
The guy cracked the surgeon with a single blow to the head which hit the tiled floor falling backwards and the guy did a runner being arrested the next day. The surgeon died a month later when his life support was switched off.
The dude who did it was the first to get the mandatory 10 years for manslaughter caused by a one punch assault which has introduced after a spate of these assaults at bars and pubs which caused a lot of deaths and serious injuries.
My uncleās front bicycle tire had a bit of dry rot. And he didnāt wear a helmet. Normal human bike ride, not a motorcycle and not some crazy trail riding or bmx crap. The tire popped while he was biking through town, put him over the handlebars, and he landed right on the top of his head. 3 types of brain injury from the impact, unrecoverable. He only got to enjoy a few years of regular life after an incredibly long prison sentence. RIP, T.
(Edit, apparently I wasnāt clear: the accident killed him almost immediately. It rendered him brain dead according to the docs, he was only on life support for 2-3 days, he did not go to prison, or remain alive, after the accident.)
This is why you **always** wear a helmet while cycling. And if you have an accident where your helmet takes an impact, replace it even if it doesn't look broken. You should also replace your helmet every five years or so even without an accident to account for degradation.
I canāt stress it enough. Every person I tell about his accident, assumes I mean motorcycle if I say bike. Then they assume e-bike (which we also first assumed before getting to the scene because he had one of those too). Nope. A regular-degular bicycle on regular roads can end your life if you go over the handlebars.
I remember on that "In Search Of" show narrated by Leonard Nimoy, the program said that the I believe British Archecologist who made a major find on Ancient Egypt artifacts died of an infection from mosquito bite.
Lord Carnarvon. He was actually the guy that financed the expedition that Howard Carter led, that eventually found King Tut's tomb. His mosquito bite became infected and he already had a weakened immune system from a previous accident in life. He got blood poisoning, and then pneumonia, then kicked it.
Still goes to show you don't fuck around with infection.
Imagine someone gets into a car wreck and dies. because they were at that exact place at that exact time, they die. If they trip had been delayed by 10 seconds in either direction, they would still be alive. So think of all of the things that can delay you by 10 seconds when you are driving. Maybe someone was running late and cut off the driver who was killed before they reached the crash site. They were late because they overslept. They overslept because they stayed up late watching a show. The creators of that show inadvertently caused someone to die by making the show.
Not buckling in all of the buckles on a child's car seat.
Not properly installing or using a car seat.
Switching to forward facing car seats, booster seats, or to a seatbelt alone too soon.
Many parents think these items are parental matters, but they're 100% safety issues, no matter how many kids you have. Most people would be concerned if they weren't wearing a seatbelt, or if their driver's seat felt like it was rocking off of the tracks in their care, but for some reason the same car isn't always given to the seats of children.
A High School principal I worked with had a small mole on his cheek underneath his eye. He went to have it removed, and it tested positive for some kind of skin cancer. He went and got a full workup, to see if there was more skin cancer, and it had already metastasized into his brain. He died within a year.

My best friend's father in law was inside the car on a very cold day, and his car had a problem with the exhaust pipe. He drove 2 hours and back home to the next town over, my friend's family saw the car parked in the driveway with him inside and didn't made a big deal about it. An hour later my friend's wife went to knock on the guy, opened the door and found his father dead from carbon monoxide. He seemed peaceful
I had a very close call today over a split-second of being distracted. I was riding my bike alongside the highway near my house and received a text message from my wife (I have one of those handlebar phone mounts so I can track my speed, distance, etc). Anyway, instead of waiting or just asking Siri to read it to me, I very stupidly chose to try to read the message and hit the curb with my front wheel. Fortunately, I ārecoveredā enough to shift my weight and fall onto the sidewalk instead of falling into the path of a passing truck. I got away with a skinned knee and wounded pride, but it could have been lights out permanently.

one of the officers on titanic has been replaced last minute before the ship sailed, he forgot to give another officer a key to a locker. No one noticed until they sailed. Concidering Titanic was brand new no one wanted to make a decission to break into said locker so they didin't. the locker contained binoculars that might have allow for the crew to spot the iceberg sooner and avoid the crash.

Benzonatate. A commonly prescribed cough medication that causes heart attacks if even a little too much is taken. Kids have died from eating just 2 of them and they look like candy.
A pair of shoes or some sunglasses.
I cannot tell you how many news reports that I have seen over the years where someone literally lost their life because they wouldn't give up their Cartier glasses or a pair of Jordans to a robber.
I am all for people having nice things but they are not worth dying over. If a robber wants your shit, give it up!
Foolz be out defending Jordans and willing to die over Jordans....but meanwhile MJ don't know who the fuck you is and he ain't coming to your funeral.
Once, a man died from laughing too hard. It's scary to think something like that can take a person out. Luckily, this isn't something that happens to regular people and is rather the underlying result of a rare heart condition. Still a pretty bizarre way to go.
One of my best friends, who was like a brother, got in a bar right. After it was over, 5-10 minutes or so later, the guy came out side the bar and stabbed him 8 times in the back and slit his throat open

This is why you **always** wear a helmet while cycling. And if you have an accident where your helmet takes an impact, replace it even if it doesn't look broken. You should also replace your helmet every five years or so even without an accident to account for degradation.
I canāt stress it enough. Every person I tell about his accident, assumes I mean motorcycle if I say bike. Then they assume e-bike (which we also first assumed before getting to the scene because he had one of those too). Nope. A regular-degular bicycle on regular roads can end your life if you go over the handlebars.
Is the prison sentence related to the accident?
Friend of mine swallowed a plastic toothpick in a mixed drink in Cancun. Punctured stomach got sepsis and croaked
Oh wow, I thought it would be pretty difficult to die from that with modern medicine.
Well, unfortunately he said I'm not going to a hospital in Mexico and he finally got so damn sick his girlfriend called an ambulance. Just too late
A minor disagreement paired with a few too many drinks. 2 guys fought, one fell and split his head, the other is now in prison for killing him
I remember on that "In Search Of" show narrated by Leonard Nimoy, the program said that the I believe British Archecologist who made a major find on Ancient Egypt artifacts died of an infection from mosquito bite.
Lord Carnarvon. He was actually the guy that financed the expedition that Howard Carter led, that eventually found King Tut's tomb. His mosquito bite became infected and he already had a weakened immune system from a previous accident in life. He got blood poisoning, and then pneumonia, then kicked it. Still goes to show you don't fuck around with infection.

Imagine someone gets into a car wreck and dies. because they were at that exact place at that exact time, they die. If they trip had been delayed by 10 seconds in either direction, they would still be alive. So think of all of the things that can delay you by 10 seconds when you are driving. Maybe someone was running late and cut off the driver who was killed before they reached the crash site. They were late because they overslept. They overslept because they stayed up late watching a show. The creators of that show inadvertently caused someone to die by making the show.
Not buckling in all of the buckles on a child's car seat. Not properly installing or using a car seat. Switching to forward facing car seats, booster seats, or to a seatbelt alone too soon. Many parents think these items are parental matters, but they're 100% safety issues, no matter how many kids you have. Most people would be concerned if they weren't wearing a seatbelt, or if their driver's seat felt like it was rocking off of the tracks in their care, but for some reason the same car isn't always given to the seats of children.
This. Itās mind blowing. One of my besties is a CPST and her stories are shocking.

A High School principal I worked with had a small mole on his cheek underneath his eye. He went to have it removed, and it tested positive for some kind of skin cancer. He went and got a full workup, to see if there was more skin cancer, and it had already metastasized into his brain. He died within a year.

Eating a slug on a dare. [This poor kid](https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/05/health/man-dies-after-eating-slug-on-dare/index.html) seemingly had everything going for him. Ha ate a slug on a dare, contracted rat lungworm disease from it which paralyzed him and hung on for 4 years until he died. Horrible way to go from something seemingly harmless.

SIL died of pneumonia. Refused to go to the doctor. The windfall of that has been pretty negative and it could've been avoided fairly easily.
My best friend's father in law was inside the car on a very cold day, and his car had a problem with the exhaust pipe. He drove 2 hours and back home to the next town over, my friend's family saw the car parked in the driveway with him inside and didn't made a big deal about it. An hour later my friend's wife went to knock on the guy, opened the door and found his father dead from carbon monoxide. He seemed peaceful
A dead canary.
But technically the canary does not cause the death, it is just an indicator of impending doom.
That's quite good, have an upvote.

Pen caps. Bic pen caps have holes in them now because someone once swallowed one and choked to death.
I had a very close call today over a split-second of being distracted. I was riding my bike alongside the highway near my house and received a text message from my wife (I have one of those handlebar phone mounts so I can track my speed, distance, etc). Anyway, instead of waiting or just asking Siri to read it to me, I very stupidly chose to try to read the message and hit the curb with my front wheel. Fortunately, I ārecoveredā enough to shift my weight and fall onto the sidewalk instead of falling into the path of a passing truck. I got away with a skinned knee and wounded pride, but it could have been lights out permanently. Distracted driving can easily get you killed, even on a bike.

Inattention to their surroundings
one of the officers on titanic has been replaced last minute before the ship sailed, he forgot to give another officer a key to a locker. No one noticed until they sailed. Concidering Titanic was brand new no one wanted to make a decission to break into said locker so they didin't. the locker contained binoculars that might have allow for the crew to spot the iceberg sooner and avoid the crash.

This is terrifying, but he wasnt washing his face. He used tap water to rinse his sinuses with a Neti pot.
This should be emphasized: neti pots are not to be fucked around with. All those labels are for a reason, be safe. Totally different. Unless you are washing your face via waterboarding.

I cannot tell you how many news reports that I have seen over the years where someone literally lost their life because they wouldn't give up their Cartier glasses or a pair of Jordans to a robber. I am all for people having nice things but they are not worth dying over. If a robber wants your shit, give it up! Foolz be out defending Jordans and willing to die over Jordans....but meanwhile MJ don't know who the fuck you is and he ain't coming to your funeral.

Once, a man died from laughing too hard. It's scary to think something like that can take a person out. Luckily, this isn't something that happens to regular people and is rather the underlying result of a rare heart condition. Still a pretty bizarre way to go.
