Question by Jovanne: Can a doctor perform detox on someone is they have cirrosis of the liver?
Can a doctor perform detox on someone is they have cirrosis of the liver?
my step farther had a hernia for about 2 years now. it got to the point were it was so painful that he had to go to the hospital, doctors told him he had to have emergency surgery or else he would die because the hernia was sitting on his intestine which they stated would burst if the hernia wasn’t removed immediately. so they surgically removed it but noticed he had a lott of alcohol in his system, because he drank quiet a bit in his life and he loved to drink. which means he must have drank that day or thenighte before his surgery. so doctors decided to detox him right after his surgery,now correct me if im wrong but i thought a person was suppose to recover from a surgery before hand. they never gave him a chance to recover from surgery and put him into detox immediately. and not only that but he should have gone through therapy before any type of detoxification. supposedly as told by the doctors he hadcirrhosiss or the liver and when they detoxed him his body was not able to get rid of the toxins that were trying to be push out of his body because of the supposed cirrhosiss. so to make a long story short, his liver was not able to filter the toxins and he died :’-( honestly this does not seem right to me and if he had cirrhosiss the doctors should have known that if they took tests to make sure he wasHealthyy enough for the detox. now correct me if im wrong but this is defiantly medical malpractice in my eyes! and they placed death upon a person that would have survived with just surgery. if anyone knows they answers to any of this and feels like this i wrong please feel free to comment with mature answers only. thank you everyone.

Question by erowidkid: Why do people have problems with underage drinking?
I am an eighteen year old who has been reviewing the different posts/questions regarding underage drinking. I have encountered several people who get quite upset at those of us who are alright with the issue and I thought it would be fun to see a debate on yahoo answers. Heres my opinion, I am eighteen years old have had a job since 14, two jobs since 15 and maintained a B+ gpa throughout high school. I certainly think I am mature enough and responsible enough to determine if I am capable of drinking alcohol. But even for those who are not so responsible, is it not their lives, should they not be given the option to ruin it if they please. Overall, my basic philosophy for life is that anyone should be able to do what they please as long as they do not hurt anyone else in the process. Thus I certainly do not support drinking and driving or such dangerous situations. What exactly is wrong with this philosophy.
