Question:
When I was 15-16 (I'm 18 now), my friends and I used to smoke pot out of a bong made of a plastic water bottle, an empty plastic pen shaft for the pipe, and aluminum foil wrapped around the pen as a bowl. The plastic around the tip of the pen melted slightly on several occasions (the most recent, after which we stopped doing this, caused the pen to bend). About 6 months ago, maybe 6-12 months after I stopped smoking altogether, I had a lung collapse. The doctors say this happens spontaneously in tall thin males, so isn't necessarily tied to this (I haven't mentioned this). It's six months since the surgery and I'm still having pains. . .kinda embarassed to admit I did something this stupid to my doctor or surgeon. Will my health be OK even though I made some bad choices? I used the aforementioned device between 0-3 times a week for maybe two years, was never a heavy drug user. I'm supposed to go up to college soon and don't really want to die or anything..dr apt tomorrow, should I ask?
Answers:
You really need to tell your doctor what you did. He/she will be able to better help you then. Don't worry about sounding stupid. Doctors and nurses hear all kinds of things that are far worse than a teenage boy smoking pot. Please tell your doctor tomorrow. It's for your benefit.
You should probably tell the doctor, but tell him that you aren't doing it anymore. Patient to Doctor confidentiality y'know.
