* Actually, not common enough for people who really need it. Hiv patients are often overlooked when it comes to pain medication because of improvement in hiv meds, but pain still exists. A few medical journals I have read state state that pain is a seriously overlooked in these patients. Plus they are overlooked because drug use is a common way to get infected.

Commenting on the Pink Floyd song... it is from The Wall, pretty much nobody has that album figured out. If only it was as simple as Sid Barrett\'s stuff =3



to:

** Kind of out of context (like most Pink Floyd Songs on that Album). PinkFloyd, the character, has already gone well into an overdose at this point. This is a paramedic trying to revive the character, PinkFloyd, for the concert he is suppose to perform. The rest of the conceptual album The Wall, PinkFloyd (the character) is in an ideal world created by his own mind. Noting the contents of "In The Flesh!" being rather dramatically different than "In The Flesh?".
