Every problem has a solution...even if it's dangerous.

How do you get over your recent suicide attempt leading to respiratory and renal failure?
How do you cope with the fact that your versed drip just got cut off so you could be extubated?
How do you get your nurse to give you more drugs to "make you sleep"?

Stick a few fingers down your throat and throw up while your airway is still delicate from extubation.
Then push really really hard. I'm talking laboring-a-baby hard in order to release the biggest GI bleed stool ever seen.
Then when you are rolled over to be cleaned, throw up again. And this time inhale all the nasty shit that just came up.

Your heart rate will slow down effectively throwing you into what we medical folks like to call PEA.
We will pounce up and down on your obese chest.
And you will get that tube back down your throat.
And the good juice. Good ole Propofol.
And CRRT.

Way to go Princess. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
