Today I typed a report for a woman who had injected her arm with coffee because she thought it was cocaine. She had been to several free clinics and tried antibiotics and was now in the ER with a major infection. My first thought, "What in the world!" My second thought, "This could never happen to me because I don't use crack." My third thought, "Even if I used crack, this could never happen to me because I don't drink coffee." Just another example of how keeping the commandments actually gives you more freedom--freedom not to inject yourself with coffee. Feel free to use it in your next Sunday School class.
p.s. I often consider whether or not the patient's situation is something that could happen to me or not. Probably not the best practice, but I don't see that changing anytime soon.
