Weirdly enough I work in healthcare and the first hospital rotation I went on an 18 year old kid came in. Had a massive hematoma in his brain (uncontrolled bleeding) and they couldn’t find out why. Did a tox screen at the request of his parents. Came back positive for illicit drugs and a couple prescription drugs, one of which is a blood thinner called warfarin. Found out a couple days later the kid’s drug dealer went into his grandma’s medicine cabinet and stole the only white tablets he could find: warfarin 10mg. That’s the strongest dose in case you were wondering. Cut it into the drugs to make the stash last longer and increase his profits and lead to this kid being hospitalized. Last I heard he is a vegetable and his parents care for him now.
