This was the original title of a thread currently being spun and which I thought might be interestingly persued in the more light hearted area of the breakroom, although I think that sometimes breakroom is a euphemism for torture chamber.

When I first read the title I thought that it represented a coded message that only a select few might decipher and decipher it I did.
Working in the 'ststes' clearly refers to working in 'altered states' and what is being asked is what do you think about podiatrists working in altered states?
To me it is axiomatic that the only way to work is in an altered state!
The author makes no attempt to differentiate between drug induced and psychogenic so let's include both.
Before you jump to the moral highground how many of you have, after an evening of alcohol induced 'altered state', done the arithmetic while lying in bed recovering, that lets you know roughly how much alcohol you will still have in your blood when you pick up a scalpel the next day. The formula I use is four hours to get into your blood and one hour for each unit of alcohol to get out of the body or at least out of the blood.
Let's say you knock back 20units of alcohol by the time you go to bed and that four of the units have already been processed by the time you go to bed. That means that you require sixteen hours to get rid of the remaining alcohol.
That also means that when you start your work the next day you are still in a considerably altered state and will be for most of the day.
I have said nothing about altered states induced by other types of drug or even by the raging argument you have just as you are leaving for work.
How do you prevent or at least alter these altered states to minimise their interference with your scalpel action, etc?
