I have a feeling the commenter does not know what Oxford Comma is. Either that, or it flew over my head...

Yeah this is the second time I came across this post, still equally confused what the Oxford comma has to do with it.
Edit: Oh it says coma, not comma!
Spent way too long trying to see how oxford comma was relevant.
Plz help
It says Oxford Coma. So it's coma (someone who can't be woken up) vs comma (punctuation).
It took me way to long to notice the missing m.
Meta and droll. Thanks
I'm still not seeing how that's relevant.
It's a common trope to joke about the use/misuse of the Oxford comma - Examples .
So the responder is extending the joke to make it the Oxford "coma". Since the original person was asking for a long sleep in between life and death, a coma sorta fits their description.
thanks
This is why people use ketamine.
And why it should be a little easier to get. Bad day at work? Well, you can have a bottle of scotch, scream at your wife and wake up feeling like shit, or a single dose ketamine nasal spray and youre not doing shit besides waking up feeling fine. Same goes for quetiapine, a lot of really bad nights of mine could have been handled way better with a few Seroquel instead of getting loaded up on booze. I'm unpredictable when I'm drunk. It's frustrating to me that our pharmacists can't be a monitored but compassionate dispensary for useful chemicals. They already keep track of how much ephedrine I buy, why can't some decent downers make that list?
I prescribe a lot of Seroquel; it works great.
Do you prescribe it for maintenance use or for acute treatment? I think it's use as a maintenance drug should be significantly reduced from how frequently it is now. If anyone thinks SSRIs make them a zombie, try taking 25mg of Seroquel with breakfast. I was in an IOP group where multiple people DROVE with that shit in their system, because they used it for maintenance. Had to bite my tongue there I'm obviously not the doctor.
Mostly for sundowning
I work maintenance in a nursing home and that absolutely makes sense.
Hibernation does sound appealing sometimes.
...I'd be willing to burn a week of leave to literally just sleep for 7 days straight.
Anesthesia was great. It was like being turned off and then being turned on again. Instant time travel, no side effects except for what they did to my balls but I think that wasn't part of the plan...
it could've been "like" it could've been for real! we actually have no idea how exactly anesthesia works, we just found a substance that knocks us out and probably makes it so we can't feel anything, and we mastered using it, but nobody really knows the exact mechanism of how it works :)
Do have more information about the mysteries of anesthesia?
I really enjoyed the non-experience of it, at east the two times I had it in the 2020s. I've had it once before in the 80s but that involved a lot of puking and feeling weird and miserable.
Not sure if the technology has advanced or I had better anesthesiologist or it's harder to get it right with children or a combination of these factors.
not really! the wikipedia page is a good source information about what we know about it, for the unknowns looking around online for like "how does anesthesia work exactly" leads you to experts just going "idk, but it does work so"
Personally I've found that post seizure sleep is the best sleep I've ever had. Woke up incredibly rested!
I don't recommend this option.
Sleep more. Have exclusive rest days. Make time for a nice breakfast and a walk. Go swimming or something.
You could do that.
But have you considered going back into the mines and working for the benefit of billionaires?
Welcome, fellow old!
Nah, that's a healthy lifestyle for the young too.
After I had my gall bladder out I was zonked on pain meds and catheterized so I never had to get up to pee. It was pretty sweet.
Did they give you a new piggy one?
No. At least, I don't think so. They really could have put anything in there while I was out.
Surgical tech here! ...pig gallbladder transplants aren't a thing. Not a normal thing at least - maybe some obscure experimental surgery tried it once, but nothing's coming up on a quick web search. Pig skin can be used as a temporary graft over a burn or something; and we use other animal parts like cow veins for vascular grafts. But gallbladders, we just take em out and call it good. Sometimes we don't take the whole thing, and leave a little pouch so that some function remains, but typically it's yoinked out and that's that.
I got put under on fentanyl twice in the past year for surgery and that shit was like the best hibernation rest reset ever. Ill never dabble with heroin or fent etc as it leads to horrible things but i can definitely see the initial attraction
Yeah, i got hooked on fent patches for managing my chronic pain and me liking it a bit too much and using them not in the intended way. I've been told that heroin is a lot more pleasant, like falling in a loving embrace in comparison to fentanyl.
I'm on substitution now, and happy to be off something that could have killed me, but the craving still comes back every few days for a while.
Post surgery here reporting that oxy SUCKS. How did everyone get hooked on this garbage it's like a cold wet noodle that itches. Probably should take another tho
You see, you just need an anesthesiologist buddy to hang out and monitor your vitals. That's the only difference between fent coma at the hospital vs at home. My doc Friday hit me with the Midazolam first, I think expecting it to take me under. No no my friend, that feels very nice. May I have more? Idk if the propofol wasn't ready to go yet or something, because she hit me with the mid again and laughed as I fogged out. Jokes on you lady, I held on to the memory of being higher than gods pussy for a few minutes.
I'll settle for a regular good sleep, thanks. I get one about once every couple of weeks ...
I think the answer is morphine but I'm not a doctor or anything
michael jackson picked propofol

Tough titties.
Hope things improve for you.

Aren't those just pecs?
