Interesting. I don't have any disorders or diseases, but there was one night where I woke up and was having some kind of convulsion type thing, and felt like my heart was going to explode.
Question: When patients come in with problems stemming from cocaine or other drugs, and their condition is serious, are police called in to talk to the person, or do you guys just treat the person and send them on their way?
