#1 I've seen, up close and personal in the ICU, what happens when one of the balloons in the stomach or colon containing heroin or cocaine starts to leak. It ain't pretty.

what is the procedure Dr Steve?

start the antagonist naltrexone and then plunge into the work with a ~~long knife~~ can opener?

#3 Sorta makes me wonder how they catch these guys. I suppose 100% of the time because of some digestive problem or a condom breaks?

#4 I've heard that good x-rays can also distinguish the very non-turd-like packets.

#7 Mufreh bin Ahmad al-Missbali Assiri stabbed to death Abdullah bin Mohammed al-Mudhlim Assiri

So, this is, what, a four-fer? Keep'em rolling, boys. The more Mufrehs and Adbullahs for the chop, the better.

#8 Yes, a plain X-ray makes the diagnosis.

Naltrexone usually doesn't work because you can't give enough to make a difference -- you need the whole hospital supply. Even worse if the mule ingested cocaine; those folks just start seizing and won't stop.

Procedure is to get them as stable as you can as quickly as you can and then heigh thee away to the OR ASAP for a laparotomy and exploration to remove all the balloons.
