Not Safe For Work. Not even close. Unless you work in a hospital or a morgue.
Unless you have a fascination either with medical horrors or the results of human stupidity (or you want to scare the bejesus out of some drug-taking kids or something), don’t watch this video:

It’s a video out of Russia that, if I understand it correctly, shows the results of abuse of the drug Tianeptine. Apparently the story is that the drug comes in pill form, but abusers have taken to crushing, dissolving and injecting it. The problem being, they’re not getting it fully dissolved, so they’re basically injecting chemically powerful grit into their veins. Grit gets stuck in the capilarries; this causes blockage and lack of blood flow. I would imagine that the chemical lodged *right* *there* probably contributes as well. The end result of too much of that sort of thing is the death of tissue and bits of them falling off. But not always the bits at the end… sometimes the bits in the middle.
From looking at the video, it appears that many of the abusers hold off on going to the doctor until whole damned bones are exposed.
Another video showing more of the same sort of thing:

From the looks of it, leg amputation in Russia is an outpatient procedure requiring little more than a bucket and a cable saw (available at Amazon.com for tree fitty), and the assistance of the amputee in holding the limb steady during the procedure. Anasthetic? Pfff. That’s for whiny Westerners.
Ye gods, the things some people willingly do to themselves. This crap makes “Faces Of Meth” look like a beauty pageant.
The one good thing about this is that it appears that in Russia, large sums of public funds are not lavished on the medical care of the abuser. Looks like the basics, and out the door you go. That’s something the US could certainly learn from the Russians. People like these idiots should not expect to be patched up at great public expense… you act stupidly, others should not be forced to bear the burden of trying to patch your ass up.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I love the the title of this is “Don’t Watch This” and then you go ahead and include a link to the video. Kind of like – “this tastes horrible, here try it.”
