I did not wish to hyjack any further thus a new thread...
> Seems all of us nurses drank after work and were on meds so we all did fine and had the best psych unit in our part of the woods.
~~~ I wasn't asking about your co-workers.
> We didn't prescribe for patients the docs did that~~~ I didn't implied you prescribed. Nurses do have input into treatment plans.
Moving on....
I have no problem with the personal choices folks make when they assess the risks of THEIR behaviors. I only seek to clarify the idea those choices do come with risks. What folks DO and what they are ADVISED is certainly different. As far as what you choose to do, that's your call and no one should try and answer: "...should I take up drinking alcohol again?", IMO.I have been misled as to the risk of resp. depression when mixing benzo's and alcohol? Was the situation of Karen Ann Quinlan's unfortunate state not due to the mixing?
I do not wish to have a debate - plain and simple, if I'm wrong about the risks and some information has come to light that proves there is no longer a risk... please correct me.
