A typical night in the Emergency Department. An unconscious gentleman is wheeled in, breathing but otherwise unrousable.
Hi there! We've been watching this guy for twelve hours and he still hasn't come out of it. It might be his meds.
I just got to sleep. You couldn't have called me five hours ago?
Oh no. But I'm going home now, and it would be irresponsible of me to not tell you about him.
You don't have a medication list?
Nah. I'm an ER doc. You're medicine -- that's your job. They're in that bulging garbage bag right over there.
