ER Reduces Opioid Use By More Than Half With Dry Needles, Laughing Gas

"The ER team at St. Joseph's employs a number of other pain-relieving strategies, too: using patches of lidocaine (a non-opioid painkiller); ultrasound to find nerves so they can inject numbing agents; laughing gas for patients to breathe in through a mask, and even a harpist to roam the halls to soothe patients, who are then often sent home with instructions to use ibuprofen, acetaminophen or a warm compress rather than opioids."

Then they go to the next ER to get the narcs, and never go back to stupidville.

Well, Steve, I’d bet you’d go back if these were your harpists...

Their parents must be so proud.

Hmm. Poor swaying. Lousy outfits. But most disturbing is the complete soul-less sounds from those harps. MIDI from the 80s in 8 bit is same.

If they have talent, they need to put on formal wear, get in a concert hall, and play real harps.
