METH HEADS CLOG WARDS

Xmas time my heart goes out to all the Doctor's out there that have to put up with Meth Heads - its so dangerous dealing with these people they really shudder with dealing with them.  In plain simple English I just wouldn't this is a choice they take and for them to take up all our precious resources in front of others is ridiculous.

They are trying to take stock of these affected patients and they appear to be treated each week. The results show that almost half of the meth patients were :frequent flyers who often went to hospital and about 40 percent arrive by ambulance. Two-thirds were men many aged 26 to 35 and one in five had been involved with the police or correctional services. 
Many meth patients went to hospital between 5 pm & 7 pm often on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Methamphetamine is an incredibly harmful drug and these early results are an indicator of how many people are experiencing harm as a result of using it."

Meth Use can lead to serious health, social and emotional problems and this new data will help  them to better inform their decision making and planning process to tackle the problem. 

Mr Cook said the data would be used by the Mental Health Commission, the Health Department, the methamphetamine action plan task force and hospital to develop measures to reduce effects on emergency department and target areas of greatest need.

"It is a big problem that has wide ranging impacts and when we see these sorts of numbers we need to remember that meth use and all drug addiction issues require a health approach and not just about the criminal justice system and police," Dr Khorshid said.

"We also know that there is a lack of services, particularly in regional areas, for people who want to get off these drugs and this data underlines the scale of the problem and where we need to be putting in more resources".

(I'd call that blimin lip service, seriously this is not a "NEW" PROBLEM" this has become an epidemic now because the Governments have not put in enough resources or built holding places for these drug addicts to recoup/try to get off the drug (good luck with that), its outrageous that they expect our doctors to put their own lives at risk dealing with these dangerous people every day).

Its about time the public actually got up in arms and said STOP enough is enough get them away from society they are way too dangerous and unpredictable to be living mainstream.

My heart goes out to those parents that unfortunately have had very "little" support from the Government as they just dont know how to deal with it.
