  6. OK. 479.5 years in prison, but he can be out in 325.75 years with good behaviour. I have seen some inmates with sentences like this. One inmate who repetedly raped a 13 year old girl, his second separate charge for L&L of a child under 14, is serving 241 years. (approximately).
  7. The mother had the choice whether or not to have sex and use protection. Be prepared for the risks (consequences) that come along with the reward (actions). The father also had the choice.

  17. And now I must warn everyone else... You really don't want to look at that. Trust me. (No seriously, trust me!)
  18. Ok, so what is it like to be in prison? (Other than what Krip has already described.) I work in one now and have worked in several others. I just know that I'm glad I get to leave everyday. Prisons are very grey. All concrete. with blue heavy doors that makes a lound noise when it closes behind you. razor sharp wire on fences. Large field of grass, no trees, no flowers, just grass. The worst is the smell. It reaks of urine and shit and man sweat. The food looks horrid. Mystery meat. Lots of carbohydrates. High acidic diet. then there is your "cellie." You are told when to awake, when to sleep, when to eat, when to go outside. No control over your own environment at all. I don't think I could ever make it.
  19. Hot, three digit temperatures in the summer. fog so thick you can't see two feet in front of you in the spring. Pollution in the valley from farmers and their pesticides. Stay away, stay far away.
  20. as your signature says Paris "suck it up cupcake...."
  21. The drug of choice for bipolar disorder still remains Lithium. However, in a rapid cycler (three or more manic episodes per year), lithium doesn't work. Depakote, Tegretol and Trileptal (fancy tegretol without the side-effects and lab draws), are also effective. Current recommendations are to pair a mood stabilizer (the above) with an antipsychotic such as Zyprexa, Risperdal, Seroquel, Geodon and Abilify. Mood stabilizers both stabilize mania and depression. Lithium is a very effective anti-depressant. There are some equivical studies demonstrating that fish oil, up to 9000 mg (9 capsules per day) is also effective in calming a manic episode. Lamictal is FDA approved for treating depression in Bipolar patients, but not for treating the manic episodes. As far as an antidepressant, I think Lamictal is a miracle drug. Many of my patients have been helped quickly and significantly on this drug. In an acute manic episode, electroconvulsive therapy (one of the safest treatments and effective treatments in psychiatry today) is also an excellent choice. No medication is without side effects. Some of the above can, as stated earlier, make you very dull. The goal of treatment is remission with the minimal amount of medication for the maximum amount of effecacy. As far as symptoms go, Patients with Bipolar I disorder must have had symptoms for a week or more and have impaired them to the point where hospitalization was required (generally). To qualify for Bipolar II disorder, symptoms last for at least four days. Manic episodes usually will resolve on their own in about three months. But, treatment is essential, as each manic episode makes one prone to more manic episodes. Patients will experience either Euphoric or Irritable mood (some engage in arguments or physical fights). "Mood Swings" (rapidly shifting moods) are not included and are generally due to anxiety or personality disorders. Some patients experience Grandiose delusions ("I can make myself invisable" "I speak 7 languages" "I'm Jesus Christ"). They tend to not NEED sleep, only a few hours and feel completely rested. Often, they have high energy. They do things that can have dangerous consequences such as spending money (one of my patients spent $3000 in three days on flowers!) engaging in lots of sex (16 year old climbing out a window everynight to different boys houses) or speeding. Pressured speech or the need to talk (they speak faster than New Yorkers), racing thoughts or flight of ideas (bounce from subject to subject to subject) and easy distractibility (respond quickly to irrelevant external stimuli) are also other criteria. Cocaine and methamphetamine intoxication can mimic these symptoms. I do everything I can to avoid antidepressants in Bipolar patients as they can lead to a manic episode. Patients treated for TB can experience a manic episode from Isoniazid. Feel free to pm me with questions.
  22. Those bloody British, they can't say anything right.
  23. Last night, I left the prison, a little late to attend to a sick inmate. But ready to get going to Sacramento airport to get back to the Ranch early Saturday morning (on the red eye). So, I'm putting my stuff in the trunk and rearranging everything, because you can only fit a shoebox in a Mustang convertible trunk. Satisfied, I closed the lid....Oh shit! I left the keys in it! First panicked! I only have three hours to my flight and sac airport is at least an hour and a half away. Can't call AAA, Cell phone is also in the trunk. and if I had my cell phone, don't have the card, purse is in the car. Everything was in the trunk! Got the control tower to call AAA and used someone else's card. AAA guy comes, two seconds to get in the car, no button for the trunk! Apparently, it's an anti-theft maneuver so that you can leave your top down and keep stuff in the trunk. The seats don't come down, so we take them out, can't get access to the trunk without destroying what's in between. Fire department shows up for something else going on, they can't get into it. Lock smith can't get into it without destroying the lock, etc, etc. Call ford road side service. they say tow it to the ford dealer, we flat bed it. Ford dealer says, sorry, only sales people here now, you'll have to wait until morning. Why don't you have a spare key? Because the spare is in the pocket of the guy who sold me the car. So here I am a day later and $320 shorter in my bank account, sitting in Sac airport waiting for the plane. Now, the irony.......My last patient that I interviewed....his controlling case....Grand theft auto! I didn't think the warden would have appreciated it if we gave him a field trip to the parking lot. But it sure would have been easier.
