Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This one is new. They are not giving me pain medication at all.
I have asked them to call my neurologist, because I can't go into work tomorrow. I mean, I can't go in until they break the headache, and nothing has ever broken it other than IV pain meds.
I'm terrified.
They are not giving me pain medication at all.
They just decided to take the medicine themselves? What else can explain their inability to act? Oi, ita_!, I'm sorry that you have to deal with this.
Things were looking so promising last week! That is some kind of fuckery.
I overslept.
I can't just not do stuff. And, as I suspected, she's looking at me funny for not having leapt all over the neurostimulator. I don't even know if it's covered yet. Slow down, people.
Still waiting. I will ask her what she expects me to do with the rest of my...my ever.
Yikes! I am hoping for some kind of acceptable resolution for you, ita
Timelies all!
Grr, ita. That's not right.
They don't feel I need IV pain medication, and talking to my neurologist didn't change that. I asked her what was a better idea, and she suggested oral dilaudid. I asked her why she thought my doctor requested I get given 6 mg of IV dilaudid if there was any amount of oral dilaudid that worked. Why she thought we hadn't actually tried every prescription and this was a last resort....
And then she told me I was welcome to come back at any time.
I was raised well enough to not spit in her face, but it was close.
I will wait for them to take the portacath IV access out, I will go home and send off that status report I've been working on, and then I'll send my manager a note that I won't be back in the office until further notice, because I am far enough gone to not be able to drive. Or think.
FUCKED UP--I had a neuro appointment Monday morning that I cancelled because I thought I had a deployment Sunday. So now I needn't have cancelled it, but they haven't rescheduled it, and I really need to talk to him (I sent an email, but he rarely replies to those). I may just cab it to the doctor's office first thing Monday morning and hang out until someone takes pity on the woman jabbing a penknife into her thigh.
I'm so sorry, ita. That's so maddening and fucked up.
Can you go to another ER?
Jesus christ. Are all nations this fucked up when it comes to pain ontrol?
Jesus, that's incredibly fucked up.
