|
| doc:  do you smoke?
| me:   no.
| doc:  drugs?
| me:  is this confidential?
| doc:  absolutely.
| me.  ok, sure.
| doc:  which drugs?
| me:   ecstasy, sometimes...
| doc:  no marijuana?
| me:   oh yeah.  that too.
| doc:  hmm...  as a doctor, i should tell you that ecstasy is really bad.
| me:   [nodding]  ok.  why, in your professional opinion?
| doc:  well... um... it's an... opiate.. and it... uh...
| me:  um.  no it's not.
| doc:  [blank stare]
| me:   it's not an opiate.  it's an amphetamine.  it blocks the re-uptake
| of serotonin in the brain.
| doc:  ah.  yes.  well, see... that, uh, can lead to what we call
| "serotonin syndrome" which has symptoms such as muscle contraction,
| restlessness, euphoria, high body temperature, fast heartbeat, mental
| status changes...
| me:  i see.
| doc:  hmm... i guess that's why people take it.
| me:  i would guess so.
| doc:  but it's dangerous.
| me:  i see.
| doc:  i might go read more about it.
| me.  let me know if you find anything interesting.
| doc:  i'll do that.
|
|
| the search continues...
