Mr. Java: "None. I quit last month because my cardiologist told me to cut out codeine."
Dr. Grumpy: "You mean caffeine."
Mr. Java: "Aren't they the same thing?"

I am rolling on the ground laughing!! For me, yeah, they are about the same. Alas, codeine keeps me up all night, too. Takes all the fun out of tylenol 3.
I'm with the above commenter....they all start with "C" don't they? Hahahahahha. How did you keep a straight face? Instead of " C is for cookie" a la Cookie Monster on Sesame Street- just insert said drug.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Starbucks introduces the Purple Drank-Uccino...
It is a miracle that your patients get to that "certain age". Alcohol, methyl or ethyl what is the big deal.
@ Anon,
If the dolts are debating methyl or ethyl they probably think the extra "C" is good for them :)
omg duh duh duh, homer simpson has nothing on these guys!
caffeine, codeine, compazine, carbamazapene. all conjugations of the same verb- careen.

I had an ICU nurse ask me (25 years ago) if clonidine and quinidine were the same thing.
nearest post site- do you drink your am diet coke to ride of the valkyries?
If iTunes picks it, yes.
the doctor should write a script for two cups of coffee instead of tylenol 3 and see if works the same
LOL
Maybe the cardiologist meant he should sprinkle codeine in his coffee to temper the effects of the caffiene.
