![]() ![]() Mother Theresa, not someone often quoted in medical journals, said, “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” I think the Beatles said the same thing. They open essential doors, but that means we clinicians, not just our patients, have to pass through those doors as well. Perhaps that is one reason we eschew the questions I offer above. I am not naïve about the complexities of human relationships and the fears and challenges they present. Please understand, I have been in practice for a long time. The science of medicine, with the exceptional value it attributes to symptoms, diagnoses, and evidence-based therapies, has had the unintended effect of eclipsing what we know and can do about the benefits of human interaction and attachment. These questions may lead to others, such as: Who can you call or spend time with in the next couple of days? What gives you pause in calling or making the kind of human contact needed to enable recovery? What do you imagine these people would think and feel if you did make contact? How might that encounter go-where it was not about asking for help, or money, but instead simply, and most importantly, about re-igniting their friendship, their attachment to you, and their wish for your life to go well? Their interest is one way to achieve the dignity, purpose, meaning, and life of contribution so critical to the hard work of recovery.Īnd so on, as the conversation may continue. ![]() How many of us, during clinical encounters with patients, focus on their families, their social communities, their sources of human contact and support?ĭo we ask questions like: Who do you care about in your life? Who cares about you? When was the last time you spent time with people who are good for you-instead of those who hurt you and foster your drug taking? This is about as basic a psychological truth as exists, yet does it find application in clinicians’ offices? Humans, not just rats, need to be part of a community, encouraged to relate and experience the support of others. What we can do, a needed and effective approach, derives from what has Alexander taught us. 2 This article means to convey that there is a totally low-tech way of enabling people with addiction to (figuratively) prefer to ingest water rather than addicting drugs. In my earlier article, I described how prescribing clinicians can help people stay alive-until they enter an effective, individually shaped, recovery program. The rates of overdose deaths, especially but not only from opioids, in this country continue to climb. ![]() That is why we use them! It is also why campaigns of “just saying no” are naïve and ineffective, and why the dilemma of drug-taking, legal and illicit, has become one of the most dominant societal dilemmas we face in the 21st century. Or transport us away from loneliness and isolation. In immediate and powerful ways, they change how we feel, think, relate, and behave. I believe that the biggest problem with the powerful, ubiquitous psychoactive drugs (meaning those that work on our brains and minds), is that they are so effective. A social community beat the power of drugs. ![]() Even when they did imbibe from the drug-filled bottle, they did so intermittently, not obsessively, and never overdosed. When inhabiting a “rat park,” they remarkably preferred the plain water. And they were given the same access to the same two types of drug laced bottles. Like pigeons pressing a pleasure lever, they were relentless, until their bodies and brains were overcome, and they died.īut Alexander wondered: is this about the drug or might it be related to the setting they were in? To test his hypothesis, he put rats in “rat parks,” where they were among others and free to roam and play, to socialize and to have sex. 1 Researchers had already proved that when rats were placed in a cage, all alone, with no other community of rats, and offered two water bottles-one filled with water and the other with heroin or cocaine-the rats would repetitively drink from the drug-laced bottles until they all overdosed and died. To stand a chance beating the opioid and other drug epidemics we have, we will be far better equipped if we follow his lead.Īlexander’s experiments, in the 1970s, have come to be called the “Rat Park. That a person, or animal in his studies, is an active ingredient in their interaction with a drug. We owe to American psychologist, Dr Bruce Alexander, the understanding that addiction is about far more than any drug.

Normally 4mm is approaching the max that you would want to turn.īut this is what shocked me the most with this bit. Of course turning an 8mm drill bit in an egg beater drill is not always fun. It’s worth noting that the Alpen above is also available with a hex shank. It also meant that I could get a larger diameter bit in my chuck.Ħmm is pushing the capacity of this chuck, but with the hex shank, larger diameters fit perfectly. Hand drill chucks can be crap, and so the hex shank stops them from slipping, and the bit will never twist. Something that I immediately liked was the hex shank. The bit sent to us was 8mm diameter – so larger than all others tested, which were 6mm. Star – M Japanese 601 Precision drill bits. The hole itself was great, and it certainly didn’t have that common issue where a drill bit can act as a screw and won’t drill the hole out. It wasn’t enough to a stop or stall the drill, but it was notable and I was becoming a bit weary of it. The only negative here, is I did find that once it bit, it did do that bogging thing. It was very similar to the Alpen, where it needed a little bit of force to get the initial bite. This one again created a beautifully clean hole. Veritas / Lee Valley HSS Lipped Brad Point Bit. It gives you a lot of control, and doesn’t feed too fast. Instead it needed consistant pressure to get it through, and I like that. It didn’t to that thing where when it bites it halts the drill. What I really liked about the Alpen was that you had to apply quite a bit of force to get it to cut, but the force needed remained the same throughout. It didn’t bog the drill down, which is a particular problem that you can find with slow egg beaters. This is definitely the bit that I’d jump to first to buy again. I found it gave a beautifully clean cut, and the exit hole was amongst the best of them. Of the 6mm bits tested, this one came out on top. Don’t worry – it takes more than a drill bit to sway my opinion, but I wanted to be clear about that. ![]() Matthew read the post where I was whinging and he sent this one over free of charge.

I don’t find you need a full set of bits, but there are certain diameters that I’ll use all the time. You can often get away with a shoddy drill bit, and use the speed to whizz it through.īut the low speed in hand powered drills doesn’t give much help with this approach.

The market’s current assessment, which could of course change, is that a pause is coming in the first half of 2023. It’s these early 2023 meetings when the markets expect the Fed to finesse its approach to any pause in monetary policy. Then the Fed sets rates again on March 22, and skips the month of April to meet again on May 3. However, the first scheduled interest rate decision of 2023 comes on February 1.
