The Fool On The Hill

If your brother died last month from a heart attack after smoking crack, don't you think that might be a sign to end your own cocaine habit?

This was the question posed to a 32 year old male patient who arrived via EMS complaining of 10/10 chest pain after smoking "a bunch" of crack an hour prior, aka the same behavior that killed his brother.  Granted, this gentleman had a large scar spanning his skull, and between that and the drug use was probably playing with a few spades short of a full deck.

Sometimes you can't help but to shake your head in wonder.  It's sad.
