kramadas Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 A little bit of news my friend picked up from www.bluelight.nu. Crazy shit! Headline :: RAVER TAKES 22 ECSTASY TABS AT GIG .. AND LIVES A raver at the Creamfields music festival escaped death after taking 22 ecstacy tablets, it was revealed yesterday. The 24-year-old Dubliner collapsed at last month`s outdoor concert at Punchestown Race Course, but was rushed to hospital after on-sitedoctors revived him..He was kept in intensive care for two nights before regaining consciousness. Dr Shay Keating, who headed the Creamfields emergencyteam, told the Medicine Weekly magazine that the man had stopped breathing when he was found.His temperature soared to 41 degrees and doctors had to inject his face with anaesthethic to open his mouth.A medical source said "His teeth were clenched together so they couldn`t get a tube into him to get him breathing. It was one of the worstcases ever seen. His friends told the doctors that he had taken 22 ecstasy pills and it is a miracle that he survived at all."Dr Keating revealed that if it had not been for the emergency team, the man would have died and two other revellers, who ahad also takenecstasy, would have suffered permanent health damage.He said: "We sent three people to hospital. Two were unconscious from ecstasy and one was seriously hyperthermic, with a temperature of41 degrees. The man had to be intubated on siteand then taken by ambulance to St James' Hospital. Altough he is now fine, medicalintervention was crucial at the site."Dr Keating also said the majority of the patients treated at the event, which attracted more than 25,000 people, were suffering fromexhaustion and dehydration - classic symptoms displayed by ecstasy-users.

johnb Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I read somewhere that to overdose on MDMA takes the equivalent of about 14 normal pills. This guy was well into OD category. I agree, they almost should have just let him die to improve the gene pool.JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
