Other Answers:
Stop worrying. He'll be fine.
if ur in the emergency room then theres really nothing you can do because hte doctors do everything for you how much did he drink? jeez
Make fun of him...
If he is in ER, he's in the best hands available for the moment.
The best thing that could be done now is to get counseling for him and family (and anyone else that lives with him). This is a form of self-destructive behavior with an addictive substance. We all need help from time to time to help sort things out.
Ask the medical staff about EFFECTIVE programs and support groups for everyone and help your brother find BETTER things to do and have more self-worth. If he doesn't get support, he will only fall back on old habits, and next time it could kill HIM (and he might kill others in the process.)
You can also check for ALCOHOLIC TREATMENT CENTERS near you. With a little help, and a little education, everyone should win.
you can throwm ina cold shower... or if not you can connect some charcoal ivs that should pullm outofit
Give him water. Feed him Vitamin C. Give him Gatorade. Let him sleep (most important -- if he can sleep it off, that's ideal).
they will pump his stomach if its bad enough and next time you see him take a drink , break his nose
Wait...and Pray if you are religous...it can't hurt even if you aren't!
All you can do now is pray.
He could die. =(
you brought your laptop to the emergency room with you? yeah right... why dont you ask a nurse
you mean he's drunk? he'll be fine in a while. lots of water should do it.
Just carry on waiting sweetie and stay strong and chilled. He is in the best hands and I am sure it will be a good lesson for him to learn to drink in moderation.
All you can do is be here for him and maybe make light of the situation because I am sure he feels rotten.
I felt bad and changed answer :( I thought you were messin' around. He will be fine. That was one of my most epic answers too.
Since when could you get online while waiting in an emergency room?
Give him as much water, and liqud as you can, wait to see a doctor, if it becomes critical, and he goes into convolitions or something like that, screamed and shout, get attention!
If ur in the UK, ring NHS Direct..........
I dunno if there is something like that in america which is similar?
Yeh....right......what are you doing asking a web forum?...I thought you were waiting in e.r.
simply laugh at him!!!!!
Lay him down make someone talk to him all the time
and make him drink mineral water with lemon as much as he can
and dont panic he ll be fine
Ive been hospitalized for that before. The doctor will flush your body system Which means they will kindda clean up and pump out all the alcohol. After that you will be on drip and dats it. Here I am.
whoa, i wish they had internet access in the emergency room i go to. lucky you. sitting that long youre brother must be really thirsty. i think you should go get him another drink
I am sure the doctors will take care of your brother without a problem.
Alcohol posioning is a pain to get over. They will probably give him an IV to replace the fluids he has lost. When he gets home he is going to need plenty of sleep, something for his head ache, some pepto, and plenty of liquid. Water is the best and when he can try some tomato juice whether he likes it or not. It will help replace the vitamins in his body the fastest. The quicker he gets rehydrated and replaces the vitamins he lost the better he will feel. ****side not he may not be able to drink whatever he was drinking for a LLOOOOONNNNNNG TIME***
well nothing! all i can tell u is pray to whom ever u consider is relevant.
aost of the cases of alcohol poisonong usually recover with few residual effects....take care of him after the situation recoversr and make sure he doesnt do it again. since repeated episodes will permanently damage the brain
Well all you can do it wait and pray. Your brother has made a huge mistake.
You could also reflect on what he did, and possibly think of what's going to happen when when he comes out (he will, im sure he will fine). Think about how you can help him with his problems. Find the nearest Rehab center and you should get him in as soon as possible, because you don't get Alcohol posioning from a couple of beers does it?
He'll be in rough shape for a couple of days, and hopefully he doesn't continue to do this. He sounds like he's on a destructive path and maybe running away from something bothering him. Hopefully he can talk to you or someone if that is the case... Otherwise have him evacuate his stomach, the hospital will make sure it is completely accomplished. Keep him awake is the best thing to do...
pray and let the Dr. take care of him. and let that be a lesson to you not Drink.
I do not need to come off sounding rude but what the f. u. c. k.
are you doing on here if you are in the ER with your brother.
We are not doctors here. Well I would think a Dr would not have time to be on here. You need to ask the dr what you need to do.
you need to get off line and go be with your family. I find it sad how you found it more important to be on the Internet then with your family... I will pray for you and your family and your brother.
i work in trauma icu at a local hospital....
first of all-all emergency rooms have guidelines they have to follow that determines how quickly a person is seen by a doctor.
since you're brother has been sitting in the waiting room for more than an hour-it means that although his condition does need medical attention-it is not life threatening at this point.
just try to be patient-and advise your parents to wait it out-he's much safer in the waiting room surrounded by nurses and other medical staff than he would be at home-i know long waits are no fun when you're worried about your loved one but he does need to be seen.
once in the back of the emergency room-they will draw blood to determine exactly how much alcohol is in his system. depending on what those results show-the doctor will treat him how he sees fit to. he might make him drink charcoal which will absorb the alcohol in his system and helps to counter-act it's affect. they will also more than likely start an i.v on him to give him fluids b/c alcohol causes severe dehydration and if he's vomiting-which is common when you drink too much-he's already lost alot of fluid.
if the case is really severe-they will pump his stomach to remove the remaining alcohol and might admit him into the hospital to watch him,treat him for the dehydration and give him medication to help stop the affects of the alcohol.
hopefully you're brother will remember this event and try not to drink as much next time-alcohol is just like a drug-too much of it can have serious medical side effects and can be fatal
good luck and take care
