Nasal Septum Damage

Question

I have recently used cocaine, a bit more than i should have. In the past 2 months ive probably spent 300$ ish on it. The other night i fell out of my bed and landed face first on the nose, and my nose changed directions so now it is in pain, bruised, and crooked, i went to the doctor, got an x-ray, and was told nothing was broken but i needed to go to an ENT doctor. The thing is i dont want the doctors to say anything to the parentals about my abuse. Would they even notice, or have i f***** up too much already?

I doubt you've done enough damage at this point to have deteriorated your nose cartilage but keep it up and you will.  Also, your doctor is your doctor.  There is something called Dr/Patient confidentiality.
My suggestion is that you stop now before you do more damage and before your parents find out and before you ruin your life because it spirals out of control and it will.  It definitely will.
Good luck to you.
