I had an "Idear"
why don't we give the writers of ER a story line of a rare disease called Clusterheadaches..where a patient comes into the hospital in "suicidal pain" and they have no idea what to do with him...blah blah blah...the main point is..it gets our malady some air time on a very popular show....
ER@nbc.com
Get emailing cluster peeps...

Excellent idea. Jeez, just a few of the posts from the archives would be great starter material for the writers!

I think it's a cool idea BUT they did an episode a while back where the nurses where turning a person away that had a "fake" headache so they could get a shot of Demeral for their "habit" As we all too often find out that alot of ER's think that way. I have been many time's made to feel like a drug seeker when at the end of my rope ended up at the ER cause I just "couldn't take it anymore" and I didn't want narcotics, just anything to take my pain away so I could get some peaceful sleep. Just thought I'd throw that out there....anyone remember the episode I'm referring to? It's an old one and my memory is fried!

well what about an episode where someone actually commits suicide in the ER because of a HA...only to find out it was "cluster headaches and all they needed was an imitrex shot..you know how the writers are.... they show the good the bad and and the ugly of being a ER doctor. They don't just show the doctors as being angels, they show them lying to cover themselves etc.

Thats the sole reason I wanted to go directly to the writers Jayne...we dont need no intern deleting our e-mails....a writer just might see a story in our mails.

I am at work , so I don't have the time right now to research finding out who the writers of ER are..so I will do it later..unless someone else beats me to it.
I see what you mean though Jonny you are correct.
I bet you our CarlD could write them a short little Scene with a bit of drama

By all means, shouldn't we keep in mind that ER is just a show? How about addressing CH to the Discovery Health Channel?

the episode that I recall involving a demerol shot is where a guy complains of back pain and demands a shot of demerol, is told to wait his turn...lots of trauma patients keep coming before him...finally he pulls out a gun and holds it up to one of the actor's head demanding a shot of demerol. Abby gets him the shot and he leaves. He passes out just outside the E.R. as Abby gave him triple the standard dose. They brought him back into the e.r. to treat for overdose so they can send him to jail!
is that the episode y'all are talking about?

i wasn't sure if that is the episode y'all were referring to or not but i'm a very avid E.R. watcher.
I think having a true CH'er come into the E.R. during a high kip and having the staff try and diagnose and treat would be wonderful exposure for our cause.
happy holidays and stay warm and pf,
renee
