2 South Sydney Players rushed to hospital

[sensesmaybenumbed]

2 players get rushed to hospital and people on here get all excited and start their souths bashing. that's not banter, that's just disgusting behaviour, but i guess i'm not surprised with all the shit people on LU

You could always leave...

Yeah I said you missed a fact, not you conveniently left out a fact.

As much as I dislike souths I hope this is an innocent mistake, I really do. A couple of young adults risking their lives for a high/buzz is not something I like to see, and having two young children and knowing how prevalent this behavior is scares the shit out of me as a father.

I did miss that fact, not intentionally though

yeah but you'd miss me too much!

 

[alien]

You changed clubs... unless the club has wronged you there really is no reason to change clubs.

and they did

yeah but you'd miss me too much!

My aim could never be that bad.

Just a bad batch of redbull, nothing to see here.

maybe they took the right amount of medication but got f**ked up because they drank energy drinks around the same time. i don't know if that would do it.

 

[carcharias]

Maybe they were trying to get off their heads and completely nailed it.

Great post! You are a truth teller!

 

[Kiwi]

They have already mentioned the drug in an article. Was does everyone keep speculating what drug it might be.

They'd already signed a contract for lol@souffs. You can't get any more off your head than that.

The truth is rarely found in the article.

I don't think energy drinks can do anything that interact with pain killers

The issue is they either took too much or badly mixed their medications in a way that wasn't good for either of them

ah ok

 

[BranVan3000]

ah ok

The only way I can think of red bulls having an effect is if the players have heart conditions and the combination of pain killers slowing the heart and caffeine speeding up the heart caused issues. But that seems highly unlikely especially in both of them. Plus if they had heart issues neither would be playing professionally anymore

This was a good old fashioned overdose. No alcohol seems to be involved. The question is why the players mixed their drugs (if they were mixed) and why they went over their dosage

What I want to know is where was the duty of care. Do the doctors at a club just write a script for a bottle of the stuff or do the club doctors have access to the drugs and administer a "required" amount?

Pain medication should only be used if in pain and even when administered correctly are incredibly addictive. I think it's important that club doctors see this as a warning to not just give someone pain killers on the belief they will just take what they need.

I am speaking broadly about the issue not just this incident.

It wasn't the club doctors that wrote the prescriptions. It was the individual players treating specialists

I am pretty certain it has adverse effects. I recall a news story whereby kids were stealing codeine tablets and combining them with energy drinks and suffering from fits and cardiac arrests etc.

I'll see if I can find the articles. What you did say sounds logical though regards the mixing of the two.

Fair point. I would have thought any prescription related drugs would need the approval or review of the club doctors especially considering the recent cases like Sandor Earl, Sharks and co.
