So what is in new Pharmacy/ Health Land news? Nothing too much more than normal. Medicine and Health are making drastic changes everyday. We all know that.
I've recently took up a short contract at a local hospital because they desperately needed the help so that has been fun. Even got to hang out with the Pharmacy Board on the past Tuesday. The smell of a 797 clean room is a smell I have missed! Haha.
I've seen in the news and I'm sure you all have as well that this drug from Russia has made it over to the states. Even my state of Ohio has reports of it on its streets. Apparently from a streamline from New York......
It comes with many nicknames that even sound almost as crazy as the drug itself!! The "Zombie" drug aka Krokodil. It has flesh-eating affects after each use or should I say abuse. Apparently the effects of the drug are much more intense to the other deteriorating menace to our communities as in heroin, plus it is cheaper than heroin. It is such an intense overload to the body's nervous system and it literally makes a person feel and act like a Zombie. This drug literally kills the person from the inside out and that is not a saying, it is a fact. People know this and still use the drug. They lose limbs and still use until their dead. Studies have shown that Krokodil causes serious damage to the veins and soft tissue infections, rapidly followed by gangrene and necrosis.
Mental health is just now becoming a concern to everyone because of the latest travesties which is sad but the streets are their war. Its their battleground. I don't and probably will never truly understand why someone would want to do heroin and on top of that the thought of Krokodil, especially knowing the consequences. They get sucked in and those things don't matter. They are lost with no medical treatment or help so they basically slowly kill themselves. Our minds make all of us addicts of something. I have quite a few things. Coffee....bread...chocolate. But my mind tells me when its too much. I know if I eat too much, I will get fat. I need to exercise. Drug addicts don't have really anything to work with. They get sucked in the drug world and stuck their unless they get the right help. Half the time, even mental health medical intervention isn't enough. Some survive, but most don't.
So as medical and health changes rapidly grow, so does the damaging effects of what they do as well. We are in the business on how we can live longer and cure diseases with such medical technology advancements, the government creates drugs for anti-terrorism that spills on our streets and then ALL that knowledge can be twisted to given our world something harmful. To give us something us that we will pay for and be addicted to. Another person making money. Another person addicted. Our Medical Advancements comes with cures and mockery.
Time has passed by: 1) eating glue
2) huffing paint
3) snorting bath salts
4) abuse of prescription medication heroin
5) Krokodil.
Just a thought: The past couple years, the entertainment world has made a lot of movies and TV shows lately on Zombies........maybe this crap has been here longer than we thought?
