K2 has made it to Fort Worth

Posted by GruntDoc on 21st May 2010

K2, the ‘legal marijuana’, has made it here.

I know that because my first patient with an adverse reaction to it came to see me in the ED.

Introductions are made, etc…

Me: Have you tried this before?

Pt: oh, yeah

Me: (wondering why a bad reaction now to something without a reaction before): anything different this time?

Pt: well, this was strawberry flavored, and it’s the first time I’ve tried that one.

Me: Aah.  Stay away from the strawberry, then…

Yes, preventive medicine in the ED.  It’s gratifying.
