We had those drug addict in the past who came to our ED bluffing their way for Pethidine jab…Nowadays, a new breed of them had been generated –zolpidem injection…
There is no IV form of Zolpidem however, one of the clever addict had come out with a solution. They crushed and zolpidem tablet and mix it with clean water, then inject into their vein….
JJ is a case of alcoholic cirrhosis patient. He had been a regular for the past 6 months. He had tried his best to squeeze as many zolpidem from us. Sometimes he sold it and sometimes he shared it….
He had denied of using IV drug 1 + years ago but lately he would claim that he had been using IV drug.
He craved for zolpidem, came to ED+OPD few times in a day asking for it. Sometimes he asked for admission…and most of us would refuse him....
The hospital did not want to complaint him as he had complaint to the national insurance bureau that we had mistreated him once..so we had to tolerate him…
There are few ways of stopping their act actually but still I never tell the management…. Just crush the zolpidem and mix it with sugar powder(pediatric use) and they won’t came to us any more….
Hell, I hate them….
