Wanna try it?

Ammonia inhalant.....you know what that is for, right? For those who may not, its that little white paper tube people break in front of ones nose if they have passed out and are having a hard time coming to. Now that you know what I am talking about, have you ever had it done to you? What about voluntarily?

Well, the other day at work, our Doctor decided to run through the crash cart and all the drugs we had on hand and what purpose they are for. We have a box of the ammonia inhalants. He asked if anyone wanted to try it and me...always being curious....said, "I do! I wanna try it!" Since I am still the 'new' girl, I was pretty much the only one who hadn't done it already. My co-worker Katie (one of the peppiest girls I know) jumped for joy as she went to the box to retrieve an inhalant to break in front of my nose.
1, 2, 3 - Snap! I took a whiff and it smelled like what i thought...ammonia but then Katie, with a mischievous look and giggle, shoved it right up there in the nostril, and POW! the full effect kicked in! Holy Mo Fo! It was frickin' strong! It woke me straight up, my eyes started to water and I felt like I burned my nose hairs! I jumped back and was holding my nose and laughing with everyone else who was laughing at me. I was the entertainment for the day. There is never a dull day there. We have good times. :o)
