If it was only two blocks you should have walked in the first place. If it was any further, this story clearly illustrates why one should get a ride -- be it from a friend, foe, or taxi -- My friend, the taxi driver, likes to tell impaired clients that his services are cheaper than a lawyer's. When he tell's that to lawyers he gets a big laugh and a fat tip. to and from medical procedures involving anesthetics or other drugs. Lots of people are randomly and regularly dosing themselves with combinations of over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Frighteningly great numbers of them operate dangerous machinery in public places despite the printed warnings against it. I'll take my chances with a pot-head or some bakatype on steroids biking over a suicidal adolescent on SSRIs, gasoline and booze. When I had my wrist surgery, I was *not* allowed to provide my own transportation home, even by taxi. If you had no other means, by your own argument[1], you should have stayed in the hospital unless the effects wore off. The two times I've been under a general anesthetic they wouldn't let me go home with any one but a friend or relative despite 24 hrs. or more spent in hospital post surgery. After the local anesthetics, when getting the screws removed, they just assured themselves I wasn't driving and assumed I wasn't riding a bike since I'd brought crutches. I took a bus home and was back on the bike in two days. \\paul [1]"i ahve an intrinsic right not to endanger myself or others" -- zk |
