It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, is there any way you can use a patient liaison to ensure ER staff follow your instructions on file?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was wondering the same thing. I mean, what Erin said is pretty right on.

ION, fucking Cleveland Browns.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Done with 3 things on my list, and on to make chicken soup in a bit.

My allergies are killing me; they always do when I clean (dust and pet hair.) I popped a Claritin this morning; if I took another one, would it help a little?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That's horrible, ita. I hope you're able to find a competent empathetic medical professional soon.

not your mom's socks.

ita holy crap that nurse. Is there any way you can show up with legal representation? Wolfram & Hart?

Eta - I mean occasionally those guys could have had a righteous client, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think so. Today's nurse was pretty clear in telling me that no matter what worked or didn't work, or what my specialist did or didn't actually recommend, each nurse or doctor was proscribed by their comfort zone.

They often fall back to "what your file says" but...apparently it hasn't been updated since January (despite my doctor calling a couple weeks ago), and they contradict themselves about what's in it, and then they say they can't do it if they don't want to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jesus CHRIST, ita. As I've been reading I've said pretty much what everyone else has said, only I used words like "motherfucker" a lot more.What the hell? If you're calm, you must not be in pain. If you're upset, you're hysterical and must be drug seeking. What the fuck are you supposed to do? You should not have to go through this fucking wringer every time you need pain relief. I want to stomp on that smug bitch doctor. Aren't you going to the same ER every time? Have they no records? Or memory? You so need an advocate, and I wish I could do it for you.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm pissed off beyond reason for you, ita. I'm sorry.

Fuck *their* comfort zone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And that's your best option for treatment. That is so unfair. I wish I had some way to use all my anger that would actually help.
