I remember a man who faked a limp and groaned in pain as he entered the doctor's office. He claimed to have a leg injury from a non - existent accident. But when the doctor said they would need to do some tests first before prescribing any painkillers, he suddenly 'healed' and ran out of the office.
Sure. One time, there was a guy who came into the clinic claiming he had the worst back pain ever and needed the strongest painkillers. But when the doctor asked him to describe exactly where the pain was, he pointed to his elbow. It was so obvious he was just after the drugs.
One story could be about a patient who faked symptoms just to get painkillers. They would constantly complain of severe back pain, but when doctors ran tests, there was no physical indication of such pain. Another might be a person who visited multiple clinics in a short time, using different names, all in an attempt to obtain a particular drug for non - medical reasons.
Once, a friend of mine accidentally took a cold medicine that made him super drowsy right before an important meeting. He started nodding off during the presentation and his boss was really confused. It was hilarious in a way, but also a lesson to be more careful with medications.
Sure. There was a patient who said they had a rare form of arthritis that only responded to a very specific and highly regulated drug. But when the doctors looked into it more closely, they found that the patient had no family history of the disease and the symptoms were inconsistent. Another story is about someone who faked a post - surgical pain for months just to keep getting opioid prescriptions.
Once, my friend took some cold medicine that made him really drowsy. But instead of going to sleep, he started talking in the funniest gibberish. He was convinced he was a famous philosopher and was spouting off the most absurd 'theories' that had us all in stitches.
No. There really aren't any truly positive funny drug addict stories. While some stories might seem humorous on the surface because of the out - of - this - world things addicts do while under the influence, drug addiction is a serious and harmful condition. People's lives are being ruined, families are broken apart, and health is deteriorating.
One time my friend took a legal herbal supplement that had some relaxing effects. He started seeing the patterns on the rug as a whole new landscape. He was convinced that he was in a miniature world and was trying to communicate with the 'tiny people' he thought were living in the rug. It was hilarious as he was making up these elaborate stories about their little civilization.
Back in the Victorian era, there were these tonics that were sold as cure - alls. One tonic was said to give you energy and improve your mood. But it turned out it had a lot of alcohol in it. People would take it and act all goofy without realizing it was mainly the alcohol affecting them. It's funny how these so - called medicinal products were sometimes just sneaky ways to get people drunk.
A drug dealer once tried to hide his drugs in a hollowed - out book. But he picked the wrong book - it was a children's book about the police. When the cops searched him and found it, they couldn't help but laugh at his poor choice of hiding places.
