Opiates on a stick.

The fentanyl lollipop is standard fare around here for the bone marrow biopsy. Definitely an interesting drug delivery mechanism, but it works for me.

Thought I'd add this funny picture of me holding it that day that Alex took.

    I'm glad you posted this bc I was picturing a bright red lollipop! This looks like it would be more effective than what I was envisioning.

    Deke, Lu and Holly here in CA and we applaud what you're doing with this blog to educate us lesser beings as you chronicle what I full well expect to be a knockout fight with you coming out the winner against this foe. Your Mom filled me in on your choice for AR treatment and it sure seems like they're the pioneers in treating this. We're in your corner slugger!!

    is it cherry flavored? The best might be if it was maragrita flavored!

    It's a nondescript sweet fruity flavor, it doesn't have color to help me venture a guess!
