Kindling is at the very, at the beginning, I require a volume of 10 to elicit a signal.

But over time, I can get sensitive to it.

I can detect it at a five, a two, even a one.

So sometimes the brain develops more sensitivity to things.

We see that in something like PTSD.

Where PTSD, this thing used to not be scary.

Now, since I'm kindling, now it's becoming scarier, scarier, scarier, scarier, scarier.

Okay, that happens too.

But just because I got triggered emotionally the first time when I'm a fourth year resident and I'm supervising other residents and there's someone who's high on K2, I look at this, I get the referral from the ED doc and I say, okay, is this a guy that I need security for?

What do you think?

And they're like, yeah, maybe you need security.

I'm like, okay, great.

So I will go over to walk these two dudes in the suits.

The fucking security is awesome at MGH.

One of my favorite things about being at that hospital is security is awesome.

Wearing suits, super professional, so good at de-escalation.

Like, they're amazing.

A lot of them are former police, former military, just top-notch security.

So I tell these two guys, and you develop a relationship with them.

So I'm like, hey, I've got a guy.
