Umm... that is by far NOT the primary use for a port., ok. People do very occasionally use them for drug abuse but it's NOT that common. It's a lot easier for them to just find a vein for that - so why tf would they wanna bother? You need to be trained to use a port properly, like nurses do. it would be pretty stupid and desperate to try and access it yourself for drugs because messing it up could cause it to become dangerously infected. It's kind of odd how that would be the first thing you'd go to in your mind with this - pretty cynical. Medical professionals are the people who have to install ports so they're not gonna install one for a long using heroin addict so they can more easily find a way to inject themselves when their veins are shrinking, obviously! Second of all, if you are accusing me of having a port in order to abuse drugs then that's rude and also very stupid. I am not trained to access my port nor would I want to. I have medical permission to use a controlled amount of pain meds that is dispensed to my by pharmacy, because my condition is VERY painful, which is a recognized thing, so I have no desire or need to use street drugs. Ports are for people who are ill primarily. and people who are ill may be on meds to help them feel better PRESCRIBED to them in pill form. That isn't abusing drugs, that is USING MEDICATION, and they're not gonna need to use their port for that.
Also it's kind of ignorant for you to think that just cause I'm wearing some eyeliner and look tired that I might be a 'druggie' .. I'm allowed to have an edgy style and be chronically ill/disabled - what am I supposed to go around looking sad and wearing drab, plain pyjama-like clothing all the time? and chronically ill people GET VERY TIRED .. it's pretty common and understandable given what we go through.
I genuinely wish you get better.
thank you
Drug abuse?
