“Trepanazine” Needs a PDR Writeup, Stat

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

So, your friendly neighborhood Ambulance Driver describes a malady for which “220 grains of Trepanazine” is the recommended treatment regimen.

You arrive on the scene for the unconscious male lying in the roadway, cruise slowly past the police cars blocking traffic, and without even getting out of your ambulance, you roll down the window and bark, “Leon! Get your ignorant ass outta the road! Someone runs over you, you might damage a perfectly good car!”

And not only does Leon obediently cease being an impediment to traffic flow, he also hobbles meekly to your ambulance and climbs aboard. You should have seen the face of the cops who called us.

Which is indeed educational, but WTF is “Trepanazine”? A Google search turns up no dosing info, no link to the manufacturer, no….Oh, wait.

“Trepanazine” as in “trepanning“, right? Drilling a hole in the skull to let out the evil spirits, or “remove the stone of madness”?

Slight risk of lead poisoning with the dosage I believe AD refers to.

And I note that the 230 grain dose for close-range injection is far more common than 220 grains.
