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



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.
