"I know you're lying to me." James ground out.

"James, you are ill. You are schizophrenic, and you have trouble telling reality from hallucination. I am your doctor, and I know what is best for you. And right now, what's best is for you to continue your treatments here."

"No, no, none of this is can be real, I'm - my name isn't James, it's- it's-" James stuttered. His hand trembled in the straight jacket he had been restrained in. "Why, why can't I remember?" His unruly dark hair obscured his wide eyes, pupils dilated from the medications.

"You're making things worse for yourself, James. Take a deep breath, and take some more medications. It'll make you feel much better." Doctor Wilson held out a wax paper cup filled with pills.

James shook his head as he backed into the padded wall of his room. "No, get them away from me. AWAY!" He began to scream, and realising he was trapped there rendered his flight instinct inert, he began to rock back and forth on his heels in a desperate attempt to soothe himself.

"James. Calm down. You are being dramatic. You need to take a deep breath."

James began to attempt to tear himself free from the straight jacket to no avail, letting out a frustrated animalistic cry.

"Why-"

"You can take a nice long nap and calm down." Doctor Wilson put the cup down, realising James wasn't going to let himself be soothed easily. The doctor instead pulled a hypodermic syringe out, and the boy began to scream.

"Can I have some assistance?" He called to the orderlies standing outside the cell. They rushed in, effortlessly pinning James to the floor. The orderlies pulled James' pants down to allow the Doctor access to his patient's bottom. Doctor Wilson swiftly jabbed the hypodermic into the muscle, earning him an indignant cry.

"No.. no.." James stuttered, as they pulled away from him. He attempted to pull himself to his feet, but tripped over himself, the drug already leaving him unsteady and out of it.

"Sh, my boy." Doctor Wilson soothed, helping his patient onto the bed. "You can rest now."

James eyelids, with his pupils blown wide, slowly drifted shut as he slumped over on the bed.

----

When James awoke, he decided to make a plan. He didn't trust Doctor Wilson anymore. There were gaps in his memory, and things that just didn't make sense.

And he was sure that his name wasn't really James - but what was it then?

He started by figuring out how to stop his meds. The nurses would check that he had taken them. He started crushing one or two in the side of his jaw, and swallowing the rest. The crushed pills were small enough that they weren't super noticeable, and as long as the nurses didn't see whole pills leftover. Once they left, he'd spit out the crushed tablets. Eliminating one or two of the medications certainly help to clear up his fatigue and drowsiness, but he had other symptoms instead - headaches, fevers, sore eyes. He just had to deal with it. He needed to stop the medication more.

Then, he stopped eating. Just in case the food was also drugged. But he also did it as a protest. He wanted to show Doctor Wilson that he was still in control. It started with a sausage here, some oatmeal there. He would just cut down gradually, and one one would notice until it was too late.

----

"For the last time James, eat up." The orderly, Dan, sighed as the boy pushed his tray away from him.

"'Mm not hungry." James muttered.

"You're being stubborn. You haven't eaten in 4 days. Eat up, or I'll have no choice but to call Doctor Wilson."

James didn't look up. "Don't care."

"Fine. I give up." The orderly picked up the walkie talkie hanging from his white scrubs. "Doctor Wilson, James is refusing to eat again and he's refusing meds."

"Take him to Treatment Room 2. I'll meet you there." The Doctor commanded.

The burly orderly bent down and scooped up James in one arm.

"Dan, please, please don't do this!" James began to sob.

He screamed and kicked, but he was a fairly scrawny young man, and with the lack of food, he was no match for the orderly, who dragged him down the hall with ease.

"Here." The orderly tapped his keycard on the door reader, and pushed the door open, revealing an exam table reminiscent of a dentist's chair. He place James onto the table, and began to strap him using the standard medical restraints, straps at his forehead, wrists, chest, hips, legs and ankles.

"Let me go!!" James screamed, fighting against the restraints with all the strength he had left. "You can't do this!!"

"I'm sorry buddy. It's for your own good." The orderly patted his forehead.

Doctor Wilson stepped into the room and locked eyes with James. Dan immediately backed away, planting himself in the corner of the room.

To the doctor, Jamess looked absolutely feral, his eyes red raw from crying and sleep deprivation, his hair greasy and unkempt, and his frame thin and wiry.

"Oh James, I was so hoping it wouldn't come to this." Doctor Wilson tutted, as he walked up the exam chair. He tilted James' chin, examining the boy's face closer. "You're sneaking off your meds, too." He said - a statement, not a question. "You had been doing so well.. All that progress we've achieved. Gone."

Doctor Wilson sighed, then nodded to the orderly, who began to set up a cart with medical tools and devices. Both men snapped on nitrile gloves and then pulled on medical masks.

"What are you doing?" James asked in a high-pitched tone, clearly frightened.

"Getting you back to health, my boy." Doctor Wilson smiled sadly behind the mask. "Clearly you can't be trusted to do the right thing for yourself."

Dan unpackaged a sterile butterfly needle, which he passed to the Doctor. The orderly wiped down James' elbow with an alcohol wipe, then tied a rubber band above the area. Doctor Wilson brought the needle to James' vein, and the boy whimpered.

"Relax James, you're in good hands." Doctor Wilson hushed, before sliding the needle into the vein.

It smarted, and James winced, looking away as a drop of blood bubbled up from the wound. The Doctor removed the needle and replaced it with tubing, setting up an IV which he hooked to a bag of solution on a stand. James looked to the bag as the solution began to drip through the tubing into his vein.

"What's in there?" He asked weakly.

The Doctor ignored him, and instead began to pull more tubing out from packaging. He held it up and measured it in front of James' face, who squirmed uncomfortably against the strap across his forehead. The Doctor then covered the tip in some kind of gel, held the tube under James' left nostril, and before he could react, the tube was being shoved up his nostril.

Shocked, James began to try to wrest his head away, but the restraints held tight, even as the tube slid further and further up his nose, down the back of his throat, and further, further down. James couldn't help but cough and gag on the tubing, the foreign sensation awfully unwelcome in his system. Even when he thought it couldn't possibly go any further, it did. Finally, finally, it was over. He drew in choked, panicked breaths through his mouth as his body was wracked with silent gasping sobs.

"All done." Doctor Wilson said, his voice void of any care or emotion for his patient. The orderly stepped up and helped the doctor tape the other end of the tube against James' cheek, then attached the tubing to a container sitting on the IV pole, which was filled with an odd liquid. Before long, the liquid began to trickle through the tube and down his nostril. He shuddered at the horrible sensation of the cold liquid sliding down the tube, straight into his stomach.

Doctor Wilson then adjusted the settings on the IV. "Get some sleep. You'll need it."

The Doctor left. Dan stayed for a moment, making sure the Doctor was out of sight before he bent down to whisper in James' ear. "I'm sorry it had to come to that. But you left me with no choice.." He wiped a tear from James' cheek. "Get your rest while you can."

Dan stood, and with a sad sigh, shut the door behind him as he left the room.

James was left in silence. He stared up at the cieling, the odd tear slipping down his cheek, James felt his head becoming cloudy. His limbs felt light, as though they weren't tethered to his body anymore. He was floating. His eyelids however, were heavy as lead. The longer he stared, the harder it was to stay awake, and before long, his consciousness faded and he slipped into darkness.

----

"How are you feeling, James?"Doctor Wilson greeted as he stepped into the room.

James lifted his head slowly to look up. His limbs felt less sluggish than they had several days ago, but the feeding tube had begun to disperse the liquid down his throat and his stomach churned at the uncomfortable sensation. James mumbled incoherently, a single tear slid down his cheek.

Doctor Wilson ran a hand through James's hair, sighing softly. "Oh, James. This is what happens when you don't behave. We are doing what is best for you. The sooner you accept that, the easier it will be for you."

----

James sat in Doctor Wilson's office, his eyes spaced out and staring distantly into the wall.

"James." Everything was fuzzy, blurry. His head pounded. And something was slipping down his chin. Was that-

"Wipe that off his face, please."

An orderly bent into his face, and wiped his chin, then stood up. James didn't even twitch.

"James. Are you with us?"

"Huh?" James finally responded, though there was no physical response.

"You're feeling better, aren't you? No delusions?" Doctor Wilson asked.

Taglist:

"Iambetter..." James slurred.

"Good."

I'm new I weigh 154lb and I would like to go down to 99lb to start

I am currently hospitalized and being catheterized I am looking for tips to burn calories and pretend to pass my pocket to lose weight more quickly

[steam-draws]

There’s a possibility that I will have to have an NG tube for a little while. I’ve drawn myself with one to prepare for this. I don’t have time to finish this drawing at the moment, but I wanted to post it before my procedure in the morning. Hopefully that should get us a solid diagnosis, whether it’s confirming this one or creating a new one entirely. Then we will decide on treatment, including whether or not a feeding tube is necessary for my situation.

Because of everything yesterday I didn’t get to shower (was literally going to get into the shower 10 mins before I decided to take Rosa to urgent care) which means I desperately need to shower now but I just don’t want to get out of bed

Nasogastric Tube Market Size, Share, Trends, Forecast 2030

[meghanester]

Nasogastric Tube Market Growth with a CAGR of Approximately 6% During 2023-2035 and Attain Around USD 1000 Million by 2035

Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “Nasogastric Tube Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” delivers a detailed competitors analysis and a detailed overview of the global nasogastric tube market in terms of market segmentation by tube, patient group, indication, end user, and by region.

Growing Admission of Patients in ICU to Promote Global Market Share of Nasogastric Tube

The global nasogastric tube market is slated to grow majorly on account of the rising demand for ICUs from critical patients and higher cases of chronic diseases. People hospitalized in the ICU are in critical condition and have difficulty swallowing medications. These medications are administered via a nasogastric tube. Some patients acquire pneumonia during the course of COVID-19, with typical abnormalities on chest CT. This resulted in significant breathing issues, food swallowing, and other issues. Patients with severe symptoms are transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), where mechanical ventilation is frequently required. The covid patients' preexisting chronic conditions exacerbated their situation. Moreover, nasogastric tubes can be used to drain excess fluid or prevent aspiration in some chronic diseases, such as pancreatic disorders or ailments with significant fluid accumulation in the belly. According to the World Health Organization, noncommunicable illnesses kill over 41 million people each year. 17 million of whom die before the age of 70. Get a Sample PDF Brochure: https://www.researchnester.com/sample-request-5016

Besides this, the market growth is also attributed to growing cases of surgical procedures followed by increasing demand for enteral feeding. A nasogastric tube is introduced during surgery to remove accumulated air, fluid, or gastrointestinal contents from the stomach. Furthermore, the body is too weak to absorb and swallow solid foods when recovering after surgery. Enteral feeding is thus employed to give appropriate therapeutic nutrition. Moreover, nasogastric tubes are a reasonably easy and non-invasive technique of enteral feeding in the intensive care unit. They are a temporary solution that is easy to implement.

Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global nasogastric tube market are:

Request for customization @ https://www.researchnester.com/customized-reports-5016

Growth Drivers:

• Surging Demand for Enteral Feeding

• Rising Cases of ICU Admissions and Surgery

Challenges: There are various different methods that can be used for enteral feeding and there are no proper reimbursement policies for the manufacturers of nasogastric tubes are some of the major factors anticipated to hamper the global market size of nasogastric tube. There are alternative methods for enteral feedings, such as gastronomy tubes, or jejunostomy tubes, which may be preferred over nasogastric tubes in certain patient populations. On the other hand, the infection caused by these tubes is also expected to stifle market expansion. Infections such as bloodstream infections and pneumonia might be increased by improper insertion, inadequate care, or prolonged use of the tube. These all problem cause discomfort and irritation for patients.

On the basis of tubes, the global nasogastric tube market is segmented into levin catheter, dobhoff tube, sengstaken-blakemore tube. The Levin catheter segment is to accumulate the maximum revenue through 2035, by growing at a significant CAGR in the upcoming years. The Levin catheter is becoming highly popular, owing to better health services provided at hospitals, which aids the treatment of the situation that increases the need for nasogastric tubes. Moreover, by patient group, the market is fragmented into geriatric and adults, the geriatric segment will grow significantly owing growing population of old adults. Older people have difficulty ingesting appropriate nutrients orally for a variety of reasons, including weak appetites and medical issues. Nasogastric tubes aid in their hydration and nutritional maintenance.

By region, the North American nasogastric tube market is to generate the highest revenue between 2023 and 2035. Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by rising admission to ICU and the establishment of various regulatory rules. More than 6 million people are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in the United States each year. Moreover, by late June/early July 2020, overall non-COVID-19 admissions in the United States had grown to 16 percent of pre-pandemic baseline volume. Furthermore, the regulatory guidelines will promote the manufacturing of better and high-quality products, which will aid in market growth.

This report also provides the existing competitive scenario of some of the key players of the global nasogastric tube market which includes company profiling of QMD, Angiplast Pvt. Ltd., Securmed, Vygon SAS, Medtronic, Andersen Products Ltd., Cardinal Health, Baihe Medical, and Poly Medicure Limited.

Nasogastric Tube Market: A Comprehensive Study

The global nasogastric tube market size is expected to reach USD 754.5 billion by 2030. The major factors that fuel the market growth are the rising penetration of chronic conditions such as CVD, bleeding disorders, dysphagia, and others. A growing number of preterm births and an increasing geriatric population further boost the market growth.

The geriatric population inhibits higher chances of comorbid conditions that lead them to develop malnutrition. In such situations, nasogastric tubes are highly useful. As per the data from the CDC, in 2021, preterm birth affected about one of every ten infants born in the U.S. The percentage of preterm cases increased from 10.1% in 2021 to 10.5% in 2022. Similarly, according to the WHO, people aged 60 and above increased from 900 million in 2015 to 2,000 million in 2050.

Furthermore, key players worldwide are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as launching advanced products, expansion, and mergers & acquisitions to expand their dominance in the market. For instance, in May 2021, QMD expanded its enteral feeding portfolio by launching a new Degania line of Bi-Port and Single-Port Feeding Tubes for nasogastric feeding.

Unlike other markets, COVID-19 didn’t negatively impact the industry as there was a significant rise in the number of hospitalizations, which further increased the demand for nasogastric tubes for critically ill patients. However, factors such as delayed development of technologically advanced products, and increasing cases of side effects like skin irritation, tube perforation, tube dislocation, retching, and gagging are projected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.

I had an idea for a fic you might enjoy writing! Reader is injured in the abdomen during a mission (maybe a building collapse with a lil bit of impalement?) Which in itself is a great angst opportunity, but when She's medevac'd to a hospital to have surgery it ends up she is no longer able to have kids due to the damage. BUT WAIT 🫸 this isn't a run of the mill "upset because she can't have kids fic" everyone's worried about what her reaction to the news is going to be. But it turns out she NEVER wanted kids and is actually super cool with the fact she's sterile now? I just thought it would be fun twist! 🥚 Anon

"IRIS, IRIS GET OUT OF THERE!" was the last thing you heard before your sight was darkened by falling rubble from the war-torn building. As you felt the crushing weight of concrete and miscellaneous items on your chest, you couldn't help but feel the warmth of liquid around your lower half. The air smelled sickly of iron as you slipped in and out of consciousness. You tried to feel around with a free arm but your tac vest was pinned and your comm spewed out random static and the loose strings of words. As your peripheral vision began to cloud with darkness, you could hear the thundering of boots towards your location. You felt a small smile on your lips before you fell completely out of consciousness.

When you woke up, the bed felt cold and the sheets offered minimal comfort. You tried to sit up but were pulled by tubes running throughout your body. You could hear the monitor beside your bed rapidly beep as your heart rate rose at the unfamiliar surroundings. The charge nurse came rushing in, reassuring you to lie back down as she clicked a few buttons on the monitor. As you cautiously laid down, she calmly took a breath and explained she would help to take out the tube currently lodged in your nostrils. "Hold your breath now, love," she calmly instructed before swiftly removing the device and allowing you to breathe in the fresh sterile air. You coughed for a few moments before she returned with a cup of ice chips. "Where am I?" you asked in between your crunches. "Base medical," she explained as she disposed of the nasogastric tube, "you were flown in yesterday." You nodded as you slowly swallowed some of the remaining water. "The doctor will want to talk to you though so I'll be back to check on you soon," she smiled and without another word, you were left alone in the room.

Almost on schedule, the doctor entered your room. As she hastily put on gloves and checked on your vitals, you sat there patiently. "Mind if I take a look under?" she asked and you nodded before you felt her cold hands move the lower half of your gown. As you met her gaze at your abdomen, you felt nauseous. "Are those stitches?" you asked shakily and she nodded as she fixed your gown. "You came in last night stabbed through and through with some rebar," she explained, taking a seat next to your bed, "your team was smart enough to carry you with it still in to minimize the blood loss." Your mouth felt dry as she continued and you couldn't shake that image of your iodine-stained and stitched stomach. "We were able to stabilize you but," she hesitated, "but unfortunately it penetrated through your uterus." Upon hearing this, you breathed a sigh of relief. As she looked at you skeptically, you were more than happy to share your life plan.

"You have some visitors, ma'am," the nurse called, making you feel much older than you were. As the curtain was pulled back, you smiled upon seeing the rest of the team. "Yer alive!" Soap exclaimed and was immediately met with a slap on the back by Ghost. "Alive with some shitty food more like it," you replied as you put aside your jello cup, "they have me on a liquid and soft foods diet." "We heard about that," Price said as he walked over, "how are you holding up?" "I'm doing alright, doctor told me it didn't hit anything major," you replied happily, to the surprise of the surrounding group. "But, it went through your lower stomach and��" Gaz trailed off as he averted his eyes from your body. "My uterus Garrick?" you said laughing, "Don't need that anyway." There was a moment of awkward silence as they mulled over your response. "What?" you asked as you examined the shocked faces surrounding your bed, "didn't want kids anyways." To your surprise, Ghost laughed and you couldn't help but join in with his low tones. "You think I could actually keep up with little demon spawns? I was glad when the doctor told me it hadn't hit anything vital like my liver." As you wiped away the tears that had formed from your laughter, the team took a breath and smiled at your antics. "Good to have you back, Iris."
