    Today’s Health Report on Abc RN had a segment on painkillers and how they work. In hijjus detail. Worth catching it at 3 pm today or on the abc app. Veerrry interesting - particularly how the different ones work and interact. Recommended.

          Yes! What @MetaSynapse@kbin.social said. My Boyo is only visibly red in the beard, but most painkillers and anaesthetics don’t work in expected ways. To the extent of waking up on the operating table.

            You don’t have to be a red head - my mum had weird reactions to valium - it energised her into complete hyperactivity.
