Cory Booker's Net Worth: Things Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

Cory Booker has been representing New Jersey in the Senate since 2013, and is viewed as a possible contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

In addition to his salary as a senator, Booker also earns income from book royalties and speaking appearances.

His net worth, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com, is estimated to be about $3 million.

Here's what you need to know.

Cory Booker Earns a Salary of $174,000 in the Senate, But He Earned Nearly Twice That Amount From Book Royalties Alone in 2017In Senator Booker's 2017 Senate Financial Disclosure form, the majority of his assets are invested in brokerage accounts.

(You can see the full form above).

He earns an annual salary of $174,000 as a senator.

In 2017, he also reported income of $325,000 in royalties from Penguin Random House.

His book, United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good, was published in 2016.

Senator Booker reported five speaking appearances in 2017.

The fee of $2,000 per speech was all donated to charity.

The form also states that Booker is entitled to receive a pension from the New Jersey Public Employee Retirement System.

After he turns 60, he'll begin receiving $2,627.74 per month.

(Booker is 49 years old).

Booker Allowed Reporters to See 15 Years Worth of Tax Returns During his Senate Campaign in 2013.

During his first senatorial campaign, Cory Booker made 15 years worth of tax returns available to a group of journalists.

According to Politico, the reporters were gathered in a hotel banquet room in Newark.

They were not permitted to take pictures of the returns or make copies; rather, they had three hours to review them and take notes.

The news outlet reported that over a period of 14 years, Booker reported income totaling nearly $4 million.

He paid $1,057,359 in federal taxes.

The earnings from his paid speeches increased substantially during that time frame as well, as he became more of a national figure.

Booker reportedly earned $1,317,715 from appearances between 2000 and 2012.

In 2006, he was paid about $10,000 for speeches.

But just five years later, in 2011, he earned $406,304 from appearances.

Politico also reported that Booker may have exaggerated a bit about how much of his income he donated to charity.

He had claimed that he gave away "hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars." But his tax returns showed that he donated $150,000 over 14 years; or at least, that's the amount he claimed for deduction purposes on his tax returns.

Booker Was Paid Nearly $700,000 From his Former Law Firm Between 2007 and 2012 as Part of a "Separation Agreement".

When Cory Booker allowed a small group of reporters to see several years of tax returns, one particular source of income drew some heat.

His returns revealed payments totaling $689,500 from the Trenk DiPasquale law firm from 2007 until 2012.

Booker had worked for the firm for six years prior to becoming mayor of Newark, New Jersey, in 2006.

He was a partner for two of those years.

But he removed himself from the firm after the mayoral election, in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

That's why it surprised reporters to see the recurring payments.

Booker explained that the payments were part of a confidential buyout.

His Republican opponent for the Senate, Steve Lonegan, questioned the payments during the course of the campaign.

He noted that the Trenk DiPasquale law firm received nearly $2 million in legal fees through government contracts over the same time period, most of which came from the Newark Housing Authority.

The New Jersey Senator Reportedly Earned More Than Half a Million Dollars in 2013.

In 2014, Senator Booker released a summary of his 2013 tax return.

Once again, he did not publish them online or make the documents available to the general public.

Instead, reporters had a couple of hours to review them and take notes.

The 2013 return showed that Senator Booker earned $540,341 in income that year.

As reported by NBC New York, the income included:.

• $114,000 from the city of Newark.

• $29,000 as a Senator (he was sworn in on October 31, 2013).

• $410,000 in speaking fees.

But Booker did not keep the vast majority of this income.

The returns reportedly showed that he donated $440,000 to charity.

He paid about about $70,000 in federal taxes.

com reported that the charities that benefited from Booker's donations included the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children in Newark, the American Cancer Society, and a charter school founded by his brother.

Booker's Estimated Net Worth Has Increased Substantially Since 2015.

The Center for Responsive Politics, a non-profit organization that tracks campaign contributions and lawmakers' income, last looked at Senator Booker's finances in 2015.

That year, the group estimated that his net worth was about $833,000.

It's worth mentioning that his book was published the following year, and his income increased after that due to book royalties.

He does not have any liabilities listed from 2012 to 2014.

His assets included small investments in companies including Nike, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Netflix.

Booker's most valuable asset was reported to be his retirement accounts through Scottrade.

The maximum value of those accounts was $500,000.

Kamala Harris, the junior senator from California, has been leading the charge against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Harris is an outspoken opponent of President Trump who is often mentioned as a possible candidate for president in 2020.

Harris, 53 years old, was born in Oakland, California.

Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was an oncologist from Tamil Nadu, India.

Her father, Donald Harris, was a Jamaican-American professor of economics at Stanford.

In 2014, Kamala Harris married Douglas Emhoff in a private ceremony at the Santa Barbara courthouse.

The couple had been engaged for five months before they tied the knot.

Here's what you need to know about Douglas Emhoff:.

He Is an Entertainment and Intellectual Property Lawyer.

Emhoff is media, entertainment and intellectual property partner at DLA Piper, a law firm based in Los Angeles.

Emhoff describes himself as a "highly experienced litigator, strategic advisor and business insider" who, in his words, "maintains a very visible public presence in California and DC." Emhoff works as both a litigator and a behind-the-scenes advisor for high-profile cases.

He specializes in media and entertainment cases, and in cases involving intellectual property law.

He Has Two Children from His First Marriage.

Emhoff has two children, Emma and Cole, from his first marriage to Kerstin Emhoff.

Kerstin Emhoff is the president and co-founder of a production company called PrettyBird.

Emhoff's son, Cole, graduated from college last year; his daughter Emma recently graduated from high school.

Emhoff also has a close relationship with his mother, and tweets messages to her — complete with mother-and-son photos — on her birthday and on mother's day.

Harris and Emhoff Were Set Up on a Blind Date.

While Harris was serving as California's attorney general, a close friend set her up on a blind date with Douglas Emhoff.

Just a year later, the two were engaged to be married.

They paid almost $450,000 in state and federal income taxes, according to a report by the Sacramento Bee.

He Liquidated His Stock Portfolio When Harris Was Running for Senate.

Until 2015, Emhoff had massive stock holdings in companies like Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Monsanto — precisely the kinds of companies that progressive politicians like to criticize.

It's hard to know for certain, but Emhoff's holdings probably amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But in 2015, when Harris was running for Senate, Emhoff sold off all of his stocks.

That included stocks in Caterpillar, Verizon, Valero Energy and Hess Corp.

Meme Book Tag! - Duration: 13:57.

hello booktube I'm Vanessa and today I'm here to do the meme book tag!

first of all you will have to excuse my face in this video, I feel very puffy and I feel

very red, my allergies are just out of this world lately, I don't know what's

going on. I read a conspiracy theory that the reason why so many people's

allergies are starting to get so bad lately is because the earth is like

starting to see us as like a harmful parasite so it's trying to exterminate

us or whatever, and I'm not...I'm not saying that's true, but my allergies do

feel like they're trying to kill me lately. anyways! this tag was created by

Dylan the reader and I will leave a link to the original down below, and all of

the questions are based off of memes, which are the best part of the Internet

if you ask me, so I'm gonna go ahead and get started.

question number one is crying Kim Kardashian, and that is a book that made

you cry. I think the first book that ever made me cry was the dear America book

that's about the Titanic because spoiler alert the Titanic sinks

and people die. and then the most recent thing that made me cry I believe was

paper menagerie by ken liu, which is a short story that just oh my god it hit

it hit me right in the feelings, like I can't even deal. it's about a little boy

that is growing up in like white suburban America

but he is half Chinese because his mother came from China. and growing up

the kid is like very embarrassed by his mother and the fact that she's different

and that she practices her Chinese culture very openly, and it's so like

heart-wrenching I think as an adult to read, because I just, I don't know, you

you see the mom doing so much for her child and loving him so much and doing

really like magical wonderful things with him and for him, and the kid kind of

like pushing them away and not appreciating them and holding his mom at

arm's length. my heart just broke while reading that story, so if you are looking

for something to break your heart, paper menagerie by Kim Lu. the next question is

Salt Bae, and this is a book that just needed a little something more and for

this I'm going to say reign of the fallen because I liked reign

of the Fallen, I liked the concept of it and everything, it is about like a

bisexual and necromancer which, come on. but I just feel like it wasn't executed

very well, I feel like the things in the story that could have been very

emotional and very touching weren't like built up enough before they came to that

point, so it kind of just felt like you were being thrown random emotions that

you didn't really connect with because they hadn't been properly planted and

grown from the beginning, if you know what I mean. yeah I would just sprinkle a

little more development onto Reign of the Fallen. the next question is guy

thinking and this is a book that made you think, and I wanted to say ten days

in a madhouse by Nellie Bly this is a nonfiction account actually, I think it's

from the 20s, of a journalist that actually gets herself institutionalized

on purpose so that she can go inside the asylums back then and just kind of

report on how the conditions were in them and what things were actually like

in there, because at that time asylums were horrible, people were being mistreated,

like the stuff that she writes about experiencing while she was in there is

horrifying. it's like the worst kind of abuse and neglect, and even Nellie Bly as

a completely healthy journalist going in there just for a story, it came time for

her to leave and she tried to get out and she revealed to them, hey like I'm

just a journalist I'm in here doing a story and I want to go now, they were

like, oh you believe that? like they literally like they wouldn't let her out,

she had to have her boss come and like vouch for her and it was like a whole

ordeal for her to even get out of the asylum, and I don't know it just made me

think a lot about the way that it's so easy to take advantage of people, it's so

easy to hurt people without anyone else even batting an eye at it, once you say

oh a person is this or that, like it starts to become okay to treat them

differently or poorly or it's like they don't matter anymore. I don't know

it was just a really really interesting read and it's pretty short - and it is

like public domain so you can read it on Google for free so I would definitely

recommend that book. the next one is confused guy and this is a book whose

hype you didn't understand, and for this I just want to say like modern poetry

like milk and honey and the princess saves herself in this one, which like no

shade to those books, like I understand that those authors are putting their

feelings out there and they are very personal and they are very empowering so

like I get it, I think they're great but like, I don't know, just the style of

poetry and the way that people like praised them, like oh my god

it's art it's poetry, like I am cornflakes put milk on me. question

number five is evil Patrick and this is a guilty pleasure read, whatever you take

guilty pleasure reading to me and for this I want to say the Cassandra Clare

books because I think we're all aware that people who are you know "mature

serious readers" like kind of shit on these books a lot, and I get it, because

they're not like the greatest books but there are good things in them too, there

are a lot of really good things in those books.

the next question is Meryl Streep, a book that you are always hyping up, and I

think we all know it's Pride and Prejudice, like please read Pride and

Prejudice, and please watch the movies for Pride and Prejudice, just do it. the

reason I want to hype Pride and Prejudice up so much is because a lot

of people don't understand. they don't understand! it's not like this stuffy old

boring classic romance novel, like it's really

funny. pride and prejudice is basically a 17th century rom-com,you're missin out, you're

really really missing out. question 7 is successful baby and this is a book that

you felt accomplished after reading, and for that I'm definitely saying Anna

Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, because first of all that book is like a zillion pages

long, literally a zillion. and also I think

just the accomplishment of being able to be like really pretentious and say like

oh yes I've read Tolstoy is like so worth it.

the next one is penny wise, and I love this meme so much honestly, and the

question for it is a book with a promising concept / a book you had high

expectations for but ultimately let you down, and I have two answers for this,

because I'm not getting out of this video without mentioning the letdown

that was dark fever by Karen Marie Moning. I had heard about this book, it's

about dark evil fairies and inspired by Irish folklore, and I was like

oh my gosh yes, and then I picked it up and I was like oh my gosh noooo. it was so

cringy, it felt like something that like a hashtag edgy like twelve year old

would have tried to write to show how like dark and tortured they are or

whatever and I couldn't. and also the love interest like I am so sorry I know

a lot of people like this book and they like the love story in it, but Jericho

Barrens or whatever his name is is a straight-up like scary abusive

controlling like stalker. like there's a part in the

second book where he puts the main character in manacles and chains her up

in his basement or whatever so that she can't go to a place he doesn't want her

to go, and he inserts her against her will and without her knowledge with like

a GPS tracking device so that he can know where she is. and the next one

that I want to mention was everland by wendy spinale, all this is a steampunk

peter pan retelling, it's all dark and gritty and set in like this

post-apocalyptic world and that sounds amazing but again this book was just so

like hashtag edgy that it was just cringe-worthy to me. like it tries so

hard to bring like dark gritty things into the story but they just don't feel

right because the writing itself is very like juvenile and very fluffy and we're

just doing this like cool middle school vibe thing, and then suddenly they start

talking about like the threat of sexual assault to a twelve-year-old girl and

you're like what whoa like whoa. question number nine is headphones guy and this

is an audiobook that you enjoyed listening to. I really liked the glass

castle by Jeannette Walls I believe. this is basically her memoir about growing up

in extreme poverty with an extremely eccentric family, they were very nomadic,

you know, her parents never wanted to like have a job or a house or you know

shelter their children, so they would like drive their car out into the

desert and live in the desert for a month, and just like the things that she

writes about going through as a child because of her parents. on the one hand

like those are her parents and she loves them and they're

interesting and they're quirky and they had an adventurous life, but on the other

hand the way that these parents just decided not to take care of their

children like, ugh. I liked the audiobook because it was interesting to hear these

really like personal deep down stories from Jeannette Walls herself and I

really liked that, and I liked the way that the book kind of explored that

complicated relationship that she had with her parents, and, I don't know, it was

just a really really good book. question number 10 is distracted guy and this is

two books one that you've been neglecting on your TBR for a really long

time and one that is new and distracting to you. and a book that has been on my

TBR like since the day I started booktube and that I still have not got

around to reading yet, even though I say I'm going to every single fall, is the

diviners by Libba Bray. I want to read it so bad but it's just every fall comes

around and there's all of these other books, I have 45 books on my like

Halloween book list, and I don't know, I always just find myself reading every

other book except for the diviners. question 11 is the catch me outside girl

and this is a book that tried to be something it's not, whether it was just

really pretentious or it was mis-advertised or whatever, and I mean I

could also say Everland for this as well in that it was advertised just like ooh

so dark so gritty. but to get a new answer here I'm gonna say station eleven

by Emily st. John Mandel because this book was advertised to me as kind of

like a literary fiction, it's just very thoughtful, I had heard that it was about

a traveling theatre group who is still traveling around after kind of an

apocalyptic event has happened and they're still going around like the

little, you know, survivor outcroppings and performing Shakespeare because it is

important to still embrace, you know like, art and feelings and the things that

make us human even when all we're trying to do is survive. I like that! that

sounded amazing! what this book gave me

was nightmares. um this book is basically season 4 of The Walking Dead it starts

out with like a virus outbreak where people are like violently becoming ill

and dying and then other people are catching it and everyone's running

around and Society is collapsing, and as mentioned several times zombies are my

biggest fear, and while this book isn't about zombies it is about all of the

same things that come along with zombie stories, which are what makes zombie

stories so scary, and that is, you know, the collapse of society the idea of like

a contagious epidemic that could be a death sentence for you or it could leave

you in a world where there is no safety anymore, there's no one to help you if

you need help, you can't trust people you can't set up a home somewhere and trust

that you will be safe in that home, there will be very bad people that take

advantage of the situation to do very bad things, and so much of station 11 was

about that, and it was horrifying, and if this book had been advertised to me as a

horror novel I probably would have been on board, but since I was going in

expecting a really heartwarming travelling group of Shakespeare people...um...eeek

and question number 12 is dog in fire and that is how many unread books do you

own. I don't know how many unread books I own physically but there are 265 books

on my Goodreads TBR, which I know for a lot of booktubers

that's not a lot like I'm sure a lot of people have more, but to me that is

always in the back of my mind. like I am always like I will never in my life

finish my TBR, which on one hand sounds cool because it's like yeah

like why would you want to finish your TBR? why would you ever want to be out of

books that you want to read? I get it, I get that it's a good thing to have a

large TBR like that, but on the other hand like I'm kind of a completionist

and I don't like ongoing tasks that I can't like check off and say like oh

it's done, so honestly and knowing that there are that many books on my like

to-do list I feel like the dog in the fire sometimes honestly. and then

question 13 is a bonus question where you get to pick your own meme and make a

question to go along with it um a meme that I really like, it's not

one specific one, but I like it when people take like news headlines or

something and they make a poem out of them, for example my favorite one I think

is this one from like dr. Phil or Maury or something, where it says roses are red

rice is a grain, Erica found a tooth in her home that

Michael can't explain. it's like I just love them so much they crack me up every

time I see them. and for this I guess since I already talked about the poetry

that I don't like in this video, I'll make this question a poetry book

that you do like. and for that I'm going to say the planetary tambourine by

Steven nightingale, these are sonnets and they're actually

inspired by northern Nevada, which is where I live and have grown up, it's

my home, so I don't know getting to read these sonnets is very, they feel good to

me and I like their style and I like the way that he writes and they feel like

poetry you know what I mean? okay so that is it for the meme book tag, this is a

really old tag and I don't know who has already done it, I feel like most people

have, but um if you haven't done it yet I tag you because I think it's fun and

memes are fun. so let me know in the comments if you do or have done this tag,

I would love to see it, and also let me know in the comments what is your

favorite meme. I hope that I get to talk to you soon! bye!

Jeff Flake's Wife & Children: Things Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com - Duration: 7:13.

Jeff Flake's Wife & Children: Things Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

Jeff Flake is a US Senator from Arizona.

He has been serving in the senate since 2013 — but Flake has announced that he will not seek re-election after his current term runs out.

Flake has been a very vocal critic of President Trump and has said that he wants to leave politics because he is unhappy with the direction that his Republican party is taking.

Flake and his wife, Cheryl, have five children.

Here's what you need to know about Jeff Flake's wife and children:.

Jeff & Cheryl Met at Brigham Young University and Married Soon After Graduation.

Jeff and Cheryl are members of the Church of Latter Day Saints.

They both attended Brigham Young University, where they met and started dating.

They married in 1985, just months after they graduated from college.

Jeff and Cheryl have five children: Alexis, Austin, Tanner, Ryan, and Dallin.

They have one grandchild so far.

Cheryl is a homemaker who says she loves entertaining and preparing big meals for her family.

Tanner Flake Became Notorious After Posting Anti-Semitic and Racist Material Online.

Tanner made headlines in 2015, when he posted a series of offensive tweets and Facebook comments.

His father publicly apologized on behalf of Tanner, after Facebook comments surfaced in which Tanner used the n-word.

Tanner also made anti-Semitic remarks on twitter.

And in another incident, he said that he would beat up the "f****t" who had stolen his dirt bike.

Tanner eventually made a public apology for his remarks too.

Jeff Once Took His Sons on a 'Wilderness Retreat'.

Back in 2013, Jeff and his sons spent a week on a deserted island.

They traveled to Kwajalein Island, which was part of Marshall Island.

That would have been far enough from home for many Arizonans — but the Flakes went even further, traveling by boat to a deserted island known as Biggarenn.

There, they spent a "survival week" living by their wits.

They did bring along a satellite phone, though, just in case — because the waters around Biggarenn are known to be infested with sharks.

All members of the family survived the week intact.

Austin Flake Once Sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The Flakes' son Austin has a complicated history with Joe Arpaio, the former Maricopa County sheriff who became infamous for his treatment of immigrants in Arizona.

In 2014, Arpaio left his dogs in a kennel owned by Austin's then-in-laws.

Flake has since divorced Logan Brown, who was his wife at the time.

When Arpaio's dogs were staying in the kennel, the air conditioning failed and the dogs died of excessive heat.

Flake and his ex-wife were watching the kennel at the time, and Arpaio had them charged with animal cruelty.

Just two months later, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery withdrew the charges, saying that Flake and Brown were not to blame.

Flake launched a civil case against Arpaio, claiming that the sheriff's office gave false testimony to the grand jury and targeted Flake for political reasons.

Alexis Flake Got Engaged on the Capitol Dome.

The Flakes have four sons and one daughter.

Their daughter, Alexis, was a 2009 Arizona Junior Miss who once interned with Good Morning America in DC.

Like her parents, she attended Brigham Young University.

Her now-husband, Jason Arias, also attended Brigham Young.

But the couple met when they were set up by a mutual friend during a summer when both were interning in DC.

The couple first met at the Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game.

Alexis said afterward that her mother, who was also there, spent so much time talking to Jason that Alexis could hardly get a word in.

In 2013 Jason proposed to Alexis on the dome of the US capitol.

She was 21 years old at the time; Arias was 26.

The couple has one child, a son.

business leaders and female entrepreneurs on one hand I see a group

of women who year after year they seem to be struggling they're complaining

Would you pay $235 for a football kit? | CNBC Sports - Duration: 3:27.

The start of a new Premier League season brings with it a host of new players,

and with them, an array of colorful fresh club kits.

All 20 Premier League clubs freshen up their look every summer,

with fans buying up the new shirts to match the stars on the pitch.

For the 2018/19 season though, kit prices are hitting an all-time high.

For the first time in England, the average price of the full ensemble will be $125.

And the most expensive of the lot? Manchester United.

United's new strip, which includes basic adult short-sleeved shirt, shorts and socks

tops the price charts at $150, while their fully printed 'authentic' kit,

the same one worn by players on matchdays, comes in at more than $235.

Manchester United is ranked as the world's most valuable soccer team

generating more matchday revenue here at Old Trafford than any other team.

And in 2015, United signed a lucrative $965 million deal with Adidas to make its kit.

I think that the football kits should be half the price they are now and even lower than that.

And even at that price there's a good profit level for the football club.

I think it's greed at the moment to be honest.

Wearing your club's colors is seen as a way of feeling closer to the team,

with thousands of shirts being bought every year by fans, no matter what the design.

Weighing up the competition when it comes to looking at the Premier League kit price table

makes for some interesting reading.

So Manchester United top the league, slightly more expensive than

Roman Abramovich-owned Chelsea and Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City.

North London club Arsenal make up the top four.

Further down the list and it's Burnley propping up the rest with a full adult replica kit of $96.

The top-priced kit is made by Adidas, with two of the next three manufactured by Nike,

with Arsenal's Puma shirt in fourth.

So what influence can elite athletes have with particular brand associations?

You probably look at somebody wearing a football kit,

a replica kit, 10, 20 times more than they wear a normal shirt.

So are they getting the value out of it, is it a must have item?

Pogba's probably the best example of where you've seen

an unbelievable partnership between the club and the brand.

Adidas were the first to reveal that Pogba had actually signed for Manchester United.

That was a game changer, that had never been done.

And that showed the power of the brand working with the power of the club together.

A good shirt never really goes out of fashion either. A classic design can always be freshened up

for a whole new audience, as was evident in the 2018 World Cup.

You saw, like Adidas, they had a lot of shirts that were based on previous tournaments.

Spain had one from '94, Germany's was based on 1990,

Columbia 1990 as well so yeah, they do play a big part in the current design of shirts.

Despite winning the Premier League title with a record 100 points here at the Etihad Stadium,

Manchester City don't even come close to their local rivals when it comes to shirt sales,

with the red half of Manchester shifting nearly three million a year.

What Options Do You Have To Buy or Sell A House? - Duration: 3:44.

Okay, so you're ready to buy or sell a house.

What are your options and what do you do next?

The way I look at it, you've got about 3 options that you have at your disposal, let's talk

about those.

The first way, is you can try and sell your house on your own and we will call that "For

Sale By Owner" The second option you have is to hire a "tech" company to represent you.

And then the third option you have is to hire a local licensed real estate professional.

Okay let's talk about those three options a little bit more in depth.

So that first one we mentioned was for sale by owner.

So basically what you're going do here is you're going to roll down to home depot and

you're going to grab yourself a for sale by owner sign and you're going to hammer it down

and maybe you're going to buy some of those cool flags that are all brightly colored and

tie them to your gutter and then tie them all they way down to the sign you just bought,

alright...cool!

There is a lot more to selling a house than throwing a sign in your yard, I promise you.

Okay so, basically if you enter into a contract for sale by owner, you're representing yourself

in a legal contract.

Okay, that's like you getting sued by somebody and not hiring an attorney to represent you

that knows the law and knows how to navigate to your goal, your end destination.

You're representing yourself in a huge exchange of money and legal property, you're dealing

with a legal contract here.

You're still open to a lot of liability and potential financial pitfalls on the contract

side.

So it's more than just doing the marketing and trying to sell things like that.

So that's the first one, representing yourself and kind of being exposed to a lot of financial

litigation there.

The second way we mentioned is using a "tech" company.

This is kind of a new thing.

I've worked with these companies in the past already.

I don't recommend using them.

They don't care about you.

If you are using them to represent you on the "buy" side, they are just going to try

and get as much money out of you as they possibly can.

They don't really represent you, they want that purchase price as high as they possibly

can get it.

They don't really care about you, they just want to get the deal closed and that's really

about it.

If you hire them on the sell side, what some of them will do is they will just throw your

house on the MLS and leave the rest up to you and that's about it.

They don't care about you, they don't really represent you.

I would not recommend doing this method.

The third way is to use a licensed real estate professional.

And this is the method that I would highly highly highly recommend that you use, and

here's why.

So we talked before about the contract part.

That's a big part of buying and selling homes, is the contract part.

They know, have you ever tried to google "Real Estate Contract" or "Oklahoma Real Estate

Contract" ? You should google it after you watch this video and see if you can figure

it out on your own.

Because it's going to be pretty tough.

If you have never seen one before, it's tough to navigate, and that's one thing that realtors

do day in and day out and they are going to be able to help you avoid some of the problem

areas on those contracts that could really leave you open to financial pitfalls and things

you don't want to be involved in.

Okay, so that's one part, the other part is they might be able to get you more for your

money.

They can maybe get you more on that sales price for your home or they can save you time

on selling your house, you know and sell it faster for you than you could have done on

your own.

So there's a lot of good things that realtors can do and the biggest thing is they represent

you.

They care about you, they care about your end goals, and where you want to be.

And that's something that the other options that we talked about just don't have.

So, I think that it's definitely a smart position to be in, is to hire a realtor.

So if you have questions about you know about getting with a realtor that knows what they

are doing, I have a ton of realtors that I can at least get you into contact with that

is local to where you want to buy a house.

Please reach out to me, you can give me a call at 405 400 0295 or just message me here

on facebook or anything like that.

I would love to help you out that way so if you have questions about that please reach

out to me and make sure you're using a realtor!

Measuring Reputational Drivers - Duration: 3:40.

Hi I'm Madeline and I'm a senior analyst here at PublicRelay so part of my job

is to help our clients develop frameworks that they can use to measure

their media coverage and use those insights to determine the exact impact

that they're having on their overall business. So today we're going to talk

about brand or reputational drivers and the importance of taking a look at those

as a part of that measurement process. And we've found that a lot of PR and

communications professionals feel a lot of pressure from c-suite level

executives to help show the impact that they are having on their company's

bottom line and that's something that can frequently be very difficult to

measure and we find that a lot of PR teams use things like the pure number of

hits or mentions that you have in a given time period

the impressions generated from those hits or maybe the tonality of those hits

but those oftentimes aren't enough to prove again exactly the amount of impact

that your team's initiatives are having so instead we like to look at these

brand or reputational drivers which are those overarching more nebulous concepts

that contribute to the overall perception of your company in the media.

Those are things like workplace environment all of the topics that

contribute to you being a thought leader a particularly innovative company with

superior products and things that can't really be defined by specific keyword

searches.

There are a couple of different ways once you've established this

reputational driver framework that you can actually sort of slice and dice the

data. So one way is to compare reputational drivers against one another

and benchmark them in relation to one another. Another thing that you can do is

look at subtopics within each of those reputational driver pillars so what

specifically is it that is driving all of your workplace environment coverage

and you compare those subtopics against one another along with things like

social sharing the tonality of those specific subtopics and the aggregate of

that data should provide you with some helpful insights to help advise your

overall strategy in that area. And then a third way that you can approach

measurement is by comparing those specific reputational drivers with

competitors or peers that also work in your space so that you can help to

target influencers whether they're authors or outlets that are writing

about those specific topics for competitors but maybe for some reason

haven't gotten your message out there quite as much.

Another way to use brand data is in the case of a crisis so if you have

historical data tracking your brand you can see both the impact or the hit that

a specific crisis might have on your brands overall but also should another

emergency or crisis situation come up you can look back at your data and

assess how you should respond to it and how you should use your historical brand

tracking to respond to the situation so for example do articles that contain a

quote from a spokesperson that gets your messaging out there a bit more have more

impact within coverage? Or is that maybe not where you should focus your efforts

and perhaps you should try a new strategy to help with the current

situation.

Thank you so much for listening. If you're interested in learning more about

reputational management please visit the resources page on the PublicRelay

website.

What Did You Take? The Drug Abuse Emergency (NY State Dept. of Health, 1971) - Duration: 35:23.

[Doctor:] I want to know whether you have been taking any drugs.

[Addict:] I don't, I don't, I don't take drugs.

No.

I don't take drugs.

No.

No.

[Person on gurney is wheeled into emergency room]

[Nurse:] Do you remember what time you took the pills?

[Nurse 2:] How are you feeling?

[Nurse 3:] What did you take?

[Nurse 2:] How many bags are you on?

How many bags of heroin are you on?

[Patient:] Umm.

[Physician:] Just what did you take today, then?

What did you take today?

[Music]

[Addict:] You don't, you don't, you don't, you never took, did you,

did you ever take acid?

[Physician:] No.

[Addict:] All right so then how are you gonna, what do you know about it?

[Physician:] Well, you can tell me.

[Addict:] I can't tell you, you don't, you can't, you can't explain what's going on

in your brain.

You can't tell somebody how, what's happening, what's going on in your mind.

[Physician:] Why don't you just try?

[Music]

[Narrator:] Every physician recognizes the feeling of satisfaction that comes

with the successful handling of a life-threatening emergency.

Among the most difficult and yet most frequently encountered today is the drug abuse emergency.

Often the situation is complicated by histories that are notoriously unreliable

and by conflicting signs and symptoms brought on by unknown combinations of drugs.

Proper diagnostic techniques, coupled with appropriate emergency measures

invariably produce rewarding results.

[Nurse:] Right here!

[Doctor:] Well you put it on, it's on my space. Okay okay.

[Narrator:] One of the drug emergencies seen with increasing frequency is the heroin overdose.

Heroin overdose and barbiturate intoxication sometimes present a similar clinical picture.

There are, however, several distinguishing signs.

With heroin the pupils are pinpoint,

whereas only minor constriction or none at all occurs in barbiturate intoxication.

And in the habitual heroin user, a permanent set of tracks is usually visible.

Nalline is a specific antagonist for heroin.

[Muffled speech.]

[Doctor:] We need to get a reading.

[The patient is injected with Nalline and begins to scream.]

[Narrator:] While response to Nalline is usually both rapid and dramatic,

patients do not always react aggressively.

Precise diagnosis is essential.

Should the heroin overdose be complicated by barbiturate intake, Nalline may add to

the patient's already depressed respiration.

Narcan, another heroin antagonist, does not depress respiration even when barbiturates

have been taken at the same time.

[Nurse:] It won't stick.

[Doctor:] Huh?

[Nurse:] Hey!

[Sounds of struggle]

[Nurse 2:] Do we have a name on her?

[Everyone in unison:] Jane Jones!

[Patient screams and nurses talk rapidly]

[Nurse:] There we go.

[Sounds of activity in the ER, patient groaning and protesting.]

[Doctor:] Who is Tony?

Get me Tony. Get me Tony.

Como tu te llama.

[Mary begins screaming again and tries to force herself up.]

[The doctor and nurses speak to one another while restraining the screaming patient.]

[Narrator:] Despite the dramatic recovery, the patient is not discharged immediately.

Vital signs must be checked every half hour for at least two to three hours.

If the patient relapses, Nalline or Narcan is administered again and the vital signs

checked over the next three to six hours.

Quick action is important in both diagnosis and treatment, since respiratory failure

is an ever-present danger in all central nervous system depressant abuse.

Immediate resuscitative measures should be available,

ranging from simple mouth-to-mouth resuscitation where the situation precludes

any other possibility,

to the more sophisticated means of support such as endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy.

Changing the unresponsive patient's position periodically prevents the development

of hypostatic pneumonia.

[Barbiturates, Idiot Pills, GBS, Bluebirds, Nemmies, Downs, Goofballs, Tooies]

[Music]

Some characteristics of barbiturate intoxication are confusion, staggering gait, drowsiness,

drunken behavior, slurred speech, fogged memory, and irritability.

Depressant effects are heightened significantly when the drug is taken in combination

with alcohol.

Multiple drug abuse presents a more complicated picture.

A marked set of needle tracks in the barbiturate abuser may indicate heroin addiction as well.

[Doctor:] Listen!

You hear me? Huh?

Did you take any heroin today?

[Woman:] No.

[Doctor:] You sure about it?

[Nurse:] What else did you take today?

Mary Lou, what did you take today?

[Mary Lou:] Three spoons.

[Nurse:] Three Tuinals, you just took 'em?

[Mary Lou:] Yeah.

[Nurse:] What else?

That's all?

What did you take this morning?

[Mary Lou mumbles while the doctor examines her arm for heroin tracks.]

[Doors open and close, ER staff move around, and the patient mumbles]

Mary Lou, what else did you take besides the three Tuinals?

Mary Lou.

What time did you take the Tuinals?

[Mary Lou:] An hour ago.

[Nurse:] An hour ago?

What else did you take with them?

[Mary Lou:] Ummhmm

[Nurse:] That's all?

[Mary Lou:] Honest.

[Nurse:] Honestly, okay.

[Narrator:] The patient's veins are often collapsed because of repeated heroin injections,

necessitating a cutdown for the administration of fluids and medications or for blood samples.

When there is some doubt as to how the drugs were taken, a gastric lavage is done.

[Doctor:] Okay, listen.

You feel it back there?

Swallow.

[Nurse:] Swallow, Mary Lou.

Swallow.

[Doctor:] Hold your breath.

[Nurse:] Mary Lou, listen, hold your breath.

[Doctor:] Hold it. [Nurse:] Hold it.

[Doctor:] Hold it.

[Mary Lou coughs.]

[Doctor:] Open your mouth.

Ahhh.

Open your mouth.

[The physicians try to push the tube down into patient's stomach.]

[Nurse:] Now keep your hands down there.

[Fluid is pumped into the tubes in her nostril.]

[Doctor:] The needle is over here girls.

Keep... no open that syringe.

[Doctors locate a vein in Mary Lou's arm for injection.]

[Medical staff talking to one another.]

[Narrator:] Sodium amytal is used to control and prevent convulsions in the

chronic barbiturate abuser.

Other anticonvulsants such as Dilantin are ineffective for this purpose.

[Sounds of medical activity.]

[A needle is inserted into Mary Lou's groin and blood is drawn.

[Continued conversation among medical staff.]

Regardless of how near death they may appear, an overwhelming percentage of drug abuse

patients respond to effective emergency treatment.

When the emergency is over, a withdrawal schedule with elixir of Nembutal or Seconal

is set up for the chronic barbiturate abuser.

[Another patient is brought in on a stretcher.]

[Nurse:] Do you remember what time you took the pills?

[Nurse:] How many did you take?

[Patient:] Whatever was in the bottle, I think it was about 24.

[Narrator:] In other cases of barbiturate intoxication, for example the kind seen

after a single overdose, somewhat different problems arise.

[Nurse:] 188 over 120.

What's your name?

[Patient:] Janice.

[Doctor:] B-u-n lights.

Barbs.

CBC.

[Nurse:] Janice, I'm going to have to put this tube down.

And I need you to help me.

It doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable.

All right take it easy.

When I tell you to, I want you to swallow, okay?

Take it easy.

Take a couple deep breaths.

That a girl.

Now get ready to swallow.

Swallow.

Swallow.

Swallow, hon.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Sit up.

Take a couple deep breaths.

Can I have a little bit of water for her?

All right, give her a...

take it easy, take it easy you're okay.

All right don't swallow.

Now swallow.

[Nurse:] Okay, okay that's good.

Okay that's it.

[Patient makes gagging noises.]

[Doctor:] Okay...here now.

You want to take that tube...

Did you eat anything purple?

[Janice retches.]

[Nurse:] You're not vomiting anymore, just take it easy.

[Doctor:] It's coming out through the tube.

It's purple on your lips.

[Nurse 2:] Yeah I noticed that too.

I asked her, she said she didn't have anything else but the food.

[Doctor:] How long does it take to get [?]

[Nurse:] Self-inflicted...

I'm going to take it out, I think we're through with that now.

[Narrator:] The possibility of suicide is a principle concern even when the patient

denies any thought or intention of self-destruction.

[Psychiatrist:] You want to tell me again what happened to your hands?

[Janice:] There was... a fire in the restaurant.

[Psychiatrist:] When was this?

[Janice:] Night before last.

[Psychiatrist:] Night before last.

And what happened?

[Janice:] I went to get the back window open to let the smoke out.

[Psychiatrist:] Was there anybody with you?

[Janice:] [?] came.

[Psychiatrist:] You didn't see a doctor about your wrists?

[Janice:] No I, it just happened the night before last.

[Psychiatrist:] Was it a bad fire?

[Janice:] No, we put it out right away.

[Psychiatrist:] Put it out right away.

[Janice:] Yes.

[Psychiatrist:] And did you, you broke the glass in the window?

[Janice:] Yes, in the back.

[Psychiatrist:] Well, how did you get your wrists then?

[Janice:] I just did it myself.

[Janice:] So I just got disgusted.

Did you ever do this before?

[Janice:] Never.

[Psychiatrist:] Were your wrists bandaged up?

[Janice:] We had a fire in the restaurant the other night.

[Psychiatrist:] What were you thinking about when you took the pills?

[Janice:] Just disgusted, you know, just uh very depressed.

[Psychiatrist:] Was anybody in the house when you took them?

[Janice:] I took them at the restaurant.

The restaurant is, it's closed.

[Psychiatrist:] Was there anybody around?

Or did you take them by yourself?

[Janice:] I took them by myself.

This just, the past two weeks because of all the problems and the drinking.

My husband went over to the, to take a steam bath.

[Narrator:] In many cases, no signs of suicidal intent are apparent.

Nevertheless, the depressant drug abuser should always be submitted for a psychiatric evaluation.

[Janice:] I felt like I was fading away.

[Psychiatrist:] Fading away?

Did you lose consciousness at any time?

[Janice:] No I almost, but I didn't.

[Psychiatrist:] How did you get in touch with somebody?

How did they find out you took the pills.

[Janice:] I called my parents because my husband wouldn't send for an ambulance.

I got panicky at the last minute and I asked him to call the ambulance and he wouldn't,

he just sat there and laughed.

[Psychiatrist:] Your husband?

[Janice:] Yes.

[Psychiatrist:] Did he believe you had taken the pills?

[Narrator:] If inadequately treated, barbiturate abuse might result in psychosis,

depression of the respiratory center, convulsions, and in some instances, death.

[Amphetamines, Bennies, Jolly Beans, Ups, Dexies, Pep Pills, Speed]

[Doctor:] Sit down.

Now you sit down Peter.

Here.

[Narrator:] The amphetamine abuser generally presents a picture of verbosity, hyper-motility,

euphoria, aggressiveness, and paranoid ideation.

[Doctor:] Are you feeling just the way you usually do?

[Peter:] Yeah, yeah.

I feel great, I feel like you know, on the moon here.

Welcome Fred and Lemuel Munchkin, hey over the moon.

[Doctor:] Yeah, well you seem to be quite excited. [Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] Are you usually very excited?

[Peter:] Well I feel good that's all.

I feel good.

[Doctor:] Has anything been happening to you recently.

[Peter:] No.

Nothing.

No.

Where did you get all these, did you buy these?

Or did they give them to you here.

[Doctor:] Do you...[Peter:] Did they give this to you?

[Doctor:] No I, I bought them.

Just sit down Peter.

[Peter:] This collection is fantastic.

[Doctor:] Tell me, do you have a headache?

[Peter:] No, I...where'd you get that?

That looks like a Chagall, that one.

That's a Chagall.

[Doctor:] Well it is...

Now sit down.

[Peter:] I have no heart disease.

[Doctor:] I'm happy to hear that.

Tell me why you are here.

[Peter:] I don't know.

I don't know, my grandmother brought me here for no reason.

[Doctor:] Do you feel any palpitations in the chest?

[Peter:] No.

No, I feel good.

[Doctor:] And you're not dizzy?

[Peter:] No.

Uhhumm.

[Doctor:] Are you uh, do you feel nervous?

[Peter:] No.

No.

[Doctor:] Do you always jump around this way?

[Peter:] I'm not jumping around.

[Doctor:] Yes you are jumping around.

Now all I'm going to do is to ask you a few questions and uh, I'd like to examine you briefly.

Now, you feel exactly the way you always do?

[Peter:] Yeah, yeah you want some gum?

[Doctor:] Now grandma, what made you bring him in.

[Grandmother:] He just came to the house, he rang the bell...

[Doctor:] Peter, Peter I want you to sit down here.

[Peter:] What is this?

[Doctor:] I want to examine you that's what we do.

[Peter:] I, no wait a minute, wait no.

What is this?

What's with the doors?

I want to go.

[Nurse:] I'll leave it open.

[Peter:] I would prefer it open.

[Grandmother:] We're going to go home together.

[Doctor:] Things are quite all right.

[Grandmother:] Not right now, not right now.

We'll go home together.

Believe me.

[Doctor:] I want you to sit down there and I'll make...

I'll ask you a couple of questions.

I want to take your blood pressure and make you feel better.

All right, now just take your jacket off.

And I'm going to take your blood pressure.

[Peter:] Umm, can I have, do you have water?

[Nurse:] I'll get you some.

[Grandmother:] I'll have your coat.

[Peter:] Thank you.

[Doctor:] Would you sit down, roll your sleeve up,

I'd like to take your blood pressure.

Have you been taking any uh drugs or any medicine?

[Peter:] What?

I don't do that kind of stuff.

[Doctor:] Have you ever taken speed?

[Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] How about dexies?

[Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] Ups? [Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] You haven't done that?.

All right.

[Peter:] Listerine is as far as I go

Did you ever smoke pot?

[Peter:] Uh no.

[Doctor:] Very good.

[Peter:] Come on.

[Narrator:] Elevated blood pressure, tachycardia, increased respiratory rate, and fever

are frequently found in amphetamine abuse emergencies.

[Peter:] Come on, come on, come on.

[Narrator:] Some users however, develop a tolerance to the drug, and these symptoms

may not be present.

[Peter:] Will you please...

[Doctor:] Now just wait a minute.

All right, that's all.

[Peter:] Good, well.

[Doctor:] Now I need to look at your eye.

[Grandma:] When he says you're all right...[Doctor:] There sit down.

Let me look at your eyes, Peter and then we'll...

[Peter:] Look see here, see?

You happy?

[Doctor:] Now just hold your, hold your head still and look right at my nose.

Look at my nose now.

[Peter:] Okay.

You see? [Doctor:] Okay.

[Peter:] You giving me road chipper?

[Doctor:] I want to give him an injection of Valium.

Ten milligrams.

[Peter:] Nah this is..

[Doctor:] Intermuscular injection, did you bring it in?

[Grandma:] You've got to stay. [Doctor:] All right now look.

You're going to feel a lot better.

We're trying to help you.

[Peter:] I feel good!

What do you want!

[Doctor:] But you're not, you're not good.

And you need...

[Peter:] You're not stabbing me okay? I feel good.

[Doctor:] Just sit down.

Well maybe, maybe you think you feel good but you are not good.

[Grandma:] ...we're going to go home too.

[Peter:] Well let's go then.

There's nothing keeping us here.

[Doctor:] As soon as, you'll go home in a few minutes, after you get the injection.

Now sit down.

[Peter:] Umm.

Can I take a look at...

[Grandma:] Peter.

[Narrator:] In most cases medication is unnecessary.

Where indicated however, the drug of choice is Valium.

[Doctor:] Hold still.

Now I want you to stay still.

[Grandma:] I'm right here.

[Nurse:] She's right here.

[Grandma:] I'm right here, it won't.

It won't hurt.

[Doctor:] Now if you rest for a minute, you're going to feel a great deal better.

[Peter:] Is there a bathroom around here, I really got to go.

[Doctor:] We're going to let you go to the bathroom in a few minutes.

[Peter:] Well, I wanna go right...can we just...

[Doctor:] Now just sit down and tell me.

[Peter:] Can't be, I'm pouring my heart out I don't give a...come on!

[Grandma:] Come on.

[Doctor:] Are you sure you haven't been taking any tablets of any kind?

[Peter:] No, I don't take tablets.

Aspirin, Excedrin, that's it.

[Doctor:] Did you ever hear of speed?

[Peter:] No.

No.

I don't know what speed is.

[Doctor:] Have you ever hear of pot?[Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] You're not telling me the truth Peter.

[Peter:] I'm telling you the truth.

[Doctor:] I don't want you to lie to me, you're not supposed to lie.

[Peter:] I know what it is.

I don't use it.

I don't use it.

Okay.

[Doctor:] Then you do know what speed is.

Did you use it at all, did you take, did you ever take it?

[Peter:] I don't take stuff, what did I tell ya?

[Doctor:] Have you taken it...

[Peter:] Grandma, I don't take stuff.

[Doctor:] Sit down Peter.

Have you taken a single dose for the first time, recently?

[Peter:] Um.

[Doctor:] At a party.

Were you at a party?

[Grandma:] Peter tell him.

[Peter:] All right, all right, I was at a party, so?

I was at a party.

[Doctor:] Did you uh, smoke anything?

[Peter:] No.

[Doctor:] Did you take any tablet.

[Peter:] No, no.

[Doctor:] Any liquids. [Peter:] Uh no.

[Doctor:] I think you're lying to me.

Did you take anything at all.

[Peter:] Well uh there was this, they had this water.

Then there was, some kids were shooting up, but uh...

[Doctor:] How about you?

[Peter shakes his head no.]

Are you feeling a little better now?

[Peter:] Uh yeah.

[Grandma:] No.

[Peter:] Okay.

[Doctor:] All right, we'd like to umm have you sit here for a little bit and uh, if you have

any unusual sensations, if you feel your heart jumping around.

[Peter:] What around...

[Doctor:] Do you have a headache at all?

[Peter:] No, no I..

[Doctor:] Do you feel better now than you did when you came in?

[Peter:] I'm a little more at ease with you, yes.

[Doctor:] Were you very afraid of something a little while ago when you came in?

[Peter:] No I just wanted to know what going on, that's all.

[Doctor:] Well you've been to the doctor before.

[Narrator:] Recovery after an amphetamine binge can be misleading.

The patient's apparent improvement may be in fact a mask for underlying depression

and suicidal ideation.

Therefore psychiatric consultation is indicated.

[Doctor:] Now what you need to do now is to go home and rest.

And then I'd like to see you in the morning.

And examine you again and see if there are any after-effects of this medicine.

Come in with Grandma and uh it won't take much time and I think uh,

it will be good for you.

[Peter:] Wonderful.

[Hallucinogens, Buttons, LSD, Acid, Peyote, Mescaline, Purple Flats, Cube]

[Psychedelic music]

[Two patients stumble into the emergency room.

[Young man mumbling]

[Donald:] We came to get some...downers or something, umm.

[Nurse:] What's your name?

You don't know your name?

Could you get up here so the doctor could see?

Miss Cohen?

[Narrator:] The most dangerous hallucinogen is LSD.

Other substances whose abuse results in similar emergencies are mescaline, DMT, STP, and THC,

or more potent forms of cannabis.

[Doctor:] Doctor Kowalski.

What happened?

[Nurse:] We just want to get you up here so you can talk to the doctor.

[Doctor:] What happened?

[Carol:] He got sick and uh he's uh...

[Doctor:] When?

[Carol:] Tonight?

I guess, uh...

[Nurse:] I'm just, I'm just holding your hand.

[Doctor:] What did he take?

[Carol:] Uh, I don't know.

I don't know what he took, you know, but it just made him sick.

[Doctor:] Has he been taking anything?

Any kind of drug?

[Carol:] Taking uh, um, have you been taking any drugs?

[Doctor:] Have you?

Look it, what's your name?

Huh?

Do you know your name?

[Donald:] Yeah, of course I know my name.

[Doctor:] What is it?

[Donald:] It's Donald.

[Doctor:] Do you know where you are, Donald?

[Donald:] I'm in the hospital, we came to the hospital.

[Doctor:] Which one?

Which one, do you know?

You have to help us out and let us know what, what happened.

[Carol:] Which hospital, you need to know that?

[Doctor:] We want to know what he took.

What did you take, Donald?

[Donald:] Just the usual, you know, what everybody takes.

[Nurse:] Let me just have your arm straight up.

[Doctor:] You take LSD too?

[Donald:] Huh?

[Doctor:] LSD.

[Donald:] Sometimes.

[Doctor:] How about today?

[Donald:] It won't hurt me, will it?

[Nurse:] No it won't hurt.

[Doctor:] Just relax. [Nurse:] It's just pressure, Donald.

[Doctor:] Just, what did you take today Donald?

[Donald chuckles.]

[Donald:] Just, no, just get this fucking thing off me.

[Doctor:] Watch your language.

[Nurse:] You don't want me to take your blood pressure.

It won't, I just want to see what it is.

[Doctor:] What did you take today?

[Donald:] Today?

[Doctor:] Yeah.

What did you take before you came over here?

[Sounds of blood pressure cuff being pumped up.]

[Donald:] Umm...

[Doctor:] Why did you, why did you come?

[Donald:] Because...

[Doctor:] Why did you come to the emergency room?

[Donald:] I don't know. [Doctor:] Yeah why...

[Donald:] It was a mistake. [Doctor:] You know why?

[Carol:] Because he said he didn't feel good and he got really sick.

[Doctor:] Does he often feel like this?

[Carol:] Um, no.

He doesn't often feel like that.

[Doctor:] Well, why did you come into the emergency room this time?

[Donald:] I came, I came into the fucking emergency room because I took some acid

and I don't, and it's not working right.

[Doctor:] Okay fine.

[Donald:] And this isn't going, it's not going good, it's not going well.

[Doctor:] We want to help you out then.

[Narrator:] There are many similarities between the LSD bad trip

and the amphetamine abuse emergency,

but there is one major difference.

Speed overdose is usually characterized by paranoid behavior, while the LSD bad trip

produces visual hallucinations, which may be frightening to the patient.

[Doctor:] How do you feel now?

[Donald:] Just uh, the back of my neck.

[Doctor:] What's the matter with the back of your neck?

[Donald:] It's running down.

[Doctor:] What's running down there?

[Donald:] Hot fluid.

A lot of it.

[Doctor:] Is the best part over?

[Donald:] There was no best.

[Carol:] It wasn't a very good trip.

[Donald:] That's what I said.

That's why I'm here.

If it was nice I wouldn't, I don't know.

[Doctor:] This the only bad trip you've had?

[Carol:] Watch him.

He was getting crazy.

[Doctor:] Yeah, that's what I want to find out.

[Carol:] So watch him.

[Doctor:] Yeah.

What happened after you took it?

Donald, I'm not a policeman, I'm a physician and I have to find out what you took.

[Donald:] So you wanna know how I feel? [Doctor:] How do you feel?

[Donald:] What happened?

[Doctor:] Right.

You wanna lie back and feel more comfortable?

[Donald:] I'm just going to go for a walk. [Doctor:] Sure.

[Nurse:] Maybe at this point we could put him in a wheelchair.

[Donald:] But why?

[Nurse:] You have to speak to someone.

[Donald:] Oh.

[Nurse:] You have to talk to someone in a place that's a little nicer-looking

than this.

You know, without all this medical stuff.

[Carol:] It's okay, you know?

[Nurse:] You know?

[Carol:] It's all right.

[Nurse:] I'm gonna go get the wheelchair.

[Doctor:] How do you feel about that, Donald?

You feel okay?

It'll be more comfortable.

[Nurse:] Yeah, it's a nicer room.

And it's quieter and it doesn't have all this medical equipment around.

And you can just sit and talk to someone.

[Psychiatrist:] Donald.

Donald, I want to talk with you alone, okay?

[Donald:] Excuse me...all right.

You stay right here...

[Woman:] I'm going to stay.

[Psychiatrist:] You don't have to, I can't help him if you stay.

[Carol:] But you can't do it if I don't.

[Nurse:] You'll be together soon.

You'll be together soon.

[Psychiatrist:] All right.

[Nurse:] A few minutes.

[Psychiatrist:] There you go.

Come on.

Come on.

I want you to sit down over here.

[Donald coughs loudly.]

Okay.

That's good.

[Donald:] Um, was..

[Psychiatrist:] That's good.

Sit down there.

[Donald:] Where did uh, where's Carol?

[Psychiatrist:] She's with a very nice lady and everything's gonna be okay.

[Narrator:] As a rule, the treatment consists of talking the patient down.

In rare instances, a tranquilizer such as Valium may be useful.

[Donald:] I'm flying this kite.

I flew this kite.

I was walking on a hill, I was on this hill and uh, and I picked it up and ran down the hill.

And it got off so the next week I went and I bought a Japanese beetle type and put it together.

And uh...

[Narrator:] There are no hard and fast rules for talking a patient down.

But several points should be kept in mind.

It works best in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Physical contact is important,

as well as the physician's manner of talking, listening, and relating to the patient.

[Psychiatrist:] What's, what's your overall feeling?

[Donald:] My overall sensation?

[Psychiatrist:] Yeah.

Feeling.

Inside.

[Donald:] And then, you know, I keep thinking about the same fucking thing

keeps driving into my brain and it keeps coming back, you know?

And the thing that keeps coming back is that I want to get out of here...

[Psychiatrist:] No.

Stay, stay and let's..

[Donald:] And get away from you.

[Psychiatrist:] Let's talk a little bit more though.

[Donald:] It's really hard.

It's really hard.

When it flashes, when blood is...

coming through.

My fucking blood!

It's going through oh...

[Psychiatrist:] Is it pleasant or unpleasant?

[Donald:] It's different, I'll say that.

I don't know.

Um, can't uh...

[Psychiatrist:] What else are you thinking about?

[Donald:] I can't get around it.

[Psychiatrist:] What does it feel like?

[Donald:] It feels good.

It feels better up here than it does down there.

[Psychiatrist:] Colors?

[Donald:] Ultraviolet.

[Psychiatrist:] Pleasant, unpleasant?

[Donald:] Nah it feels good.

[Psychiatrist:] Feels good, what does it feel like?

[Donald:] Fuck you man!

Just fuck you, that's all!

[Psychiatrist:] Maybe you'd be more comfortable if you sit down.

You're still a little wobbly.

You're up a little bit high.

[Donald makes noises in his throat.]

Donald, what do you feel like?

[Donald:] Uhhhhhhhhhhhaay.

[Psychiatrist:] Do you know what that means?

[Donald:] My mother.

[Psychiatrist:] You feel better when you say it?

Hmm, when you make noises like that do you...

[Donald mumbles.]

[Donald:] Because it's the only time that I can straighten anything out.

[Psychiatrist:] How would you straighten anything out...

[Donald:] All alone.

All alone by myself.

With nobody talking, nobody hassling.

Nobody...just being, just being that's all, just existing.

Just fucking being, that's all.

[Psychiatrist:] Alone?

[Donald:] Just fucking being, that's just feeling the energy that's in my body

because I know what I'm doing.

I take a fucking drug and it's just affecting me this way because I don't even,

I can just tell myself what's happening.

[Psychiatrist:] You see.

[Donald:] It doesn't really, it doesn't really mean, ahh.

[Psychiatrist:] Donald, it looks like you've leveled off considerably.

How do you feel now?

[Donald:] I feel drained.

Drained.

[Psychiatrist:] It was a pretty, pretty bad scene.

And why, why would you want to go through something like that?

Was that pleasant or...

This isn't the first time.

[Donald:] No, but it never happened like that before.

[Psychiatrist:] You've dropped acid before but you never had a bum trip.

[Donald:] No.

I never, never had anything like that ever happen to me.

Not quite like that.

[Psychiatrist:] Do you know what flashbacks are?

[Donald:] Yeah.

[Psychiatrist:] Does that ever worry you?

That you might have one?

[Donald:] I, I, you know it's, I've thought about it but...

[Psychiatrist:] It doesn't stop you from using.

[Donald:] Um, no, it hasn't so far.

[Psychiatrist:] The girl you came in with, you were tripping together?

[Donald:] Umhmm.

Yeah.

[Psychiatrist:] What do you think the future has for you?

What do you want to do for yourself?
