Crack.Attack.
Had an interesting case at work yesterday – 49 year old guy was found passed out at 5am on his porch after mixing crack with xanax ( i guess people use the Xanax to curve the high) so he was shipped to our hospital for treatment for possible heart attack (the cocaine makes your coronary arteries spasm and gives lots of young people surprises- did you know cocaine is the most used drug in America??).
Turns out his arteries were fine – his problem was a massive blood clot in his lung arteries that was cutting off circulation to his lung- another risk of cocaine usage.. needless to say the guy is very sick, and for a while his head looked like a grape. I think he’ll pull through though.
