Sorry I can't help you more, Aims.

I like PACER, and you can get a password right away if you register with a credit card. Also, I think they only send you a bill when you run up $10 worth of charges (it used to be $30), so you can look at 800 pages without paying a dime, and the accounts used to reset every Jan 1 -- I dunno if they still do.

What info could/would PACER get me?

I feel bad for the guy - he was a dick, but still. How stressful and icky.

PACER would get you nothin' because it's only federal courts.

Do you think he didn't do it? Because he's worse than a dick if he beat somebody up.

I'd never heard of it [epidural] in a non-childbirth context.

Knee surgery and vasectomies also.

Jury's still out on yesterday's procedure. Despite sedation it was very painful, and I have restricted vertical movement of my head. But laterally seems improved.

Unfortunately the soreness exacerbated the migraine I'd been having since Wednesday, so I hauled my ass out of bed in the wee hours of this morning to go to the ER. Where I learnt that Dr. Baraff will no longer be authorising any pain meds for me. I have a chronic condition and "his" ER doesn't treat those. He's also sending an email telling my migraine specialist to stop sending me there.

I can't lie--I did envision a scenario or two in which he was in need of what I do, and I could turn him down for an equally weighty rationale. But wishes never fulfill like that, do they?

Aside from his decision, he was particularly shitty wrt talking to me--just discharged me without notice or discussion. I had to choose to wait on him for almost an hour more to get the justification above. He's not even a professional shithead.

The Public Library of Law has state records too.

I don't know. He did/does have a pretty hot temper. But, I can't see him attacking someone. He's not a big guy - not that that has a lot of weight to it - but I can't see him physically hurting someone unless really pushed. And the types of tenants he has can really really push.

WTF? So...you're supposed to see a pain specialist after midnight? How's that supposed to work?

I wish he'd gone into detail. But pain specialists don't have the resources to treat migraines ad hoc, so that would be little help to me anyway.

As far as I can tell, the ER is the only group sitting on on-demand dilaudid/benadryl/compazine/keterolac, and he's decided he's not sharing. Because my need is chronically on-demand.

Crap. Fraudlent activity on our debit cards. Debit cards are cancelled. No Christmas shopping this weekend.

Dr. Baraff is an asshole. I hope he develops a nasty, painful and chronic condition himself. Of course, he'd probably just write his own scripts and not have any problem getting treatment. Fucker.
