That's complete bullshit and doesn't exist in any hospital in the country
Anyone who cancels a patient based on weed use is a gigantic pussy and that really shouldn't happen anymore - I'm literally halfway through an anaesthetic on a guy who took weed this morning while typing this, although his is prescribed and oral. Regular weed use can make pain and nausea more difficult to control post-operatively but that's irrelevant for a colonoscopy anyway
Yeah, you need a gas to get biopsies from the right bit of the small bowel. The blood tests are very imprecise for coeliac, so if you seriously think you have worsening bowel habits with gluten then it's reasonable to get a referral

Colonoscopies are a pretty minor anaesthetic. Being on while you have it might raise the risk of shit going wrong but it'd be raising it from 1 in a million to 2 in a million or something like that (I'm making up the numbers)
The only time I'd ask if you were on gear prior to a colonoscopy would be if I thought you looked like you were, and even then that would be because I was bored and wanted to entertain myself. If you volunteered it I'd either make a joke about it or reassure you that it didn't make a difference to your anaesthetic depending how anxious you seemed. Vast majority of anaesthetists don't know much about gear though, so it's tough to say what response you'd get
Well stranger things have happened over the last 2yrs people couldn't even shop or get a coffee or even work at certain places so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if people where turned away from hospitals .. but yeah it's a clown world..I got a sermon from a fat beer gutted Dr ..he was wearing the local golf club polo on duty in the dr's office mind you about steroids and shit they be wheeling me in with gurney if I don't stop us..told him I was on 125mg e5ds..I called complete BS on that one
All good brother
Another good tip is to say what ever your after runs in your family, that way they take it more seriously.

100 percent does. I was just in hospital 3 months back where they have a drug user ward. So don’t think you know everything buddy
Play nice fellas, all well and good to debate or disagree but let’s keep it civil in the process and not call out others experiences or opinion whether they are right or wrong.

Yup, which hospital is that?
The only possibility is that you’re talking about a detox ward, which is an entirely separate thing built for the sake of having a group of nurses who are specialised in supporting people through withdrawals etc
Putting anyone who uses recreationals in a specific ward just isn’t a thing that happens. There is too wide a range of presentations and for many of them people still need to go to a ward that specialises in the issue they have. Someone with a heart infection from injecting meth or h needs a cardiology ward, someone with a shoulder infection needs an orthopaedic/surgical ward, someone with liver failure from hep C needs a gastro ward
People are patients first and “drug users” second. I won’t pretend that people aren’t stigmatised for drug use by many people in the healthcare system, but it’s certainly not as systematic as you seem to think it is

Alright, so few miscommunications/assumptions here. What I was trying to get at here is there’s a surgical ward in qld where being a drug user or violent person automatically disqualifies you from being in the ward with the cruisy people waiting or recovering from surgery. I know this because I spent three days laying next to the nurses station so I got to hear the whole nurse gossip about how nice this ward is compared to the other one everytime a new nurse joined the ward as well as when I was being admitted and assigned a bed.
I am not saying that every ward does it the same (could be just the one, could be common. I spend my time outta hospitals as much as I can), nor am I saying when you say you do drugs, alarms go off and you get thrown in a detox ward or a general ward just packed full of drug users. Just meant you may get disqualified from being in a non drug user ward if that’s better terminology.
Also not saying that the care is any different, just that if you have to spend a few days in bed it’s nicer not to have the skank in the bed next to you call all her friends and tell them that she saw Jesus after her overdose (true story, was a long ass night in emergency).
If you still disagree with any of this, that’s fine, it is the truth. You can believe it or don’t, not my concern.
Main point to OP, is that there’s nothing to gain from admitting steroids unless it’s a steroid related problem or you are sure it will interfere
A detox ward at a hospital is still at the hospital.
We have one at my local and most patients there and cunts loosing it on ice. Yeh it’s not in the main hospital building with patients getting surgery. but it’s still in the hospital and can easliy be accessed from in the hospital. Think we are just getting abit to technical with terms here.
But yeh I don’t think they would put you in there for using roids ahah

Nah, a detox ward is a voluntary admission you go to to have withdrawal side effects treated to make it easier to come off something. Kind of like a psych ward but you can leave whenever you want. They don't have patients with other active diseases going on in them - they aren't set up for that
Presuming the nurses were accurate, the most likely thing is that they've got a rapid discharge ward/lower acuity or staffing ratio ward which you can't go to if you've got anything that might make you more complex to manage. That isn't always going to be a nicer ward though, I've seen some rapid discharge surgical wards that were absolute shitholes with much nicer wards for the more complex patients too
Yeh pretty much although if you go into general and start abusing staff and going off for being cooked they take you there (well in mine they do)
Not sure how long they keep you there but just untill you chill out. But yeh can check out once you have.
Never been there my self just people I know so can’t say from first hand.

The nurses were accurate. When I was in emergency waiting to be admitted, two guys got told they had to go in the main ward because they were admitted rec drug users. One was coke, one was meth (Once a month that guy said but I feel it was more often) not surprisingly, closing a curtain doesn’t provide a whole lot of privacy.
But anyway, there’s the facts whether you like them or not. As for their reasoning behind it, I don’t pretend to know that.
