And hung-over medical personnel..
- fian 9y ago...who have nausea.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> And hung-over medical personnel You're being down-voted, but I know a number of military medics and hospital employees who do this after heavy drinking. Seems to work like a charm.
- chopin 9y agoWasn't there a scene in Hangover (the movie) where this was offered as service in Las Vegas?
- carbocation 9y agoThere appears to be a scene in reality where someone is doing this, too: https://www.theivdoc.com/ https://www.theivdoc.com/ ("Food Poisoning Relief")
- jschwartzi 9y agoThe salts work great for normal hangovers though.
- TallGuyShort 9y agoIt's offered as a service in Denver - IIRC the ads are focused on helping you feel better when you're low on energy or whatever, but I know people who have gone for hangovers.
- tjsix 9y agoWhen I was in the army we did this regularly. My barracks roommate was our platoon medic and would stockpile as many IV bags as he could without causing suspicion. Anytime we had a late night of heavy drinking, before morning PT he’d hook up a bag and 20 minutes later we’d be feeling great and good to go,.
- chopin 9y agoWhich makes me always wonder: IV carries always the risk of thrombosis so I'd expect especially medical personnel staying away from it. But maybe they take also good dose of Warfarin with it...
- carbocation 9y agoIVs don't really carry a meaningful risk of systemic thrombosis, so taking warfarin would not put you in a good place on the cost/benefit axis.
- taneq 9y agoGood friend of mine was a psych nurse. Can confirm from his stories.
