My patient tells me a high school kid offered him 5 bucks for his lidoderm patch. Apparently, they suck out the "juice" to get a high. 😱

Wow. That takes stupid to a new level. Other than lip numbness I don't know what effects he'd expect.

$5 for one patch? That's a loss, as the patch retails for $6+. 😀

Why can't these kids just go back to huffing paint?

Not sure if it was abuse, but had one pt whose daughter came into clinic with Lidoderm Patch plastered on forehead for a headache......would have been funnier if she wasn't mentally ******ed.....OK still a little funny

Maybe they thought it was a fentanyl patch?

One way trip to the morgue.
