Usage examples of "demerol".

The sharp-nosed round-cheeked dead-eyed nurse with a weird Germanish accent that would sell Gately little sampler bottles of Sanofi-Winthrop Demerol syrup, 80 mg.

Don Gately was a twenty-seven-year-old oral narcotics addict (favoring Demerol and Talwin12), and a more or less professional burglar.

The shocker-type AA Miracle is he doesn't much miss the Demerol, either, today.

Gately now was hinked only about the prospect of getting just one or two AA meetings a week in jail the only meetings sober inmates get are when an area Group comes in on an Institutional Commitment, which Gately's been on when Demerol and Talwin and good old weed are almost easier to get in jail than in the outside world.

And he found it embarrassing to get down on his knees in his underwear, and like the other guys in the room he always pretended his sneakers were like way under the bed and he had to stay down there a while to find them and get them out, when he prayed, but he did it, and beseeched the ceiling and thanked the ceiling, and after maybe five months Gately was riding the Greenie at 0430 to go clean human turds out of the Shattuck shower and all of a sudden realized that quite a few days had gone by since he'd even thought about Demerol or Talwin or even weed.

Maybe the pain's supposed to lend credibility to some Diseased argument for Demerol the wraith's going to make.

Gately's mouth floods with spittle at the memory of the sick-sweet antiseptic taste of hydrochloride that rises to the tongue with an injection of Demerol, the taste Kite and the lesbian burglars and even Equus ('I'll Stick Anything in Any Part of My Body') Reese all gagged at but that poor old Nooch and Gene Fackelmann and Gately himself had loved, came to love like a mother's warm hand.

And if the Pakistani goes ahead and offers Demerol again Gately won't resist.

A quick Rx-squirt of Demerol probably at the outside two, three days of a Demerol drip, maybe even one where they'd hook the drip to a rubber bulb he could hold and self-administer the Demerol only As Needed.
