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

Was there no one there who knew you today, ita?

Once the attending says so, it doesn't matter. I have no idea what the resident said on her own, but I did overhear a snippet of the attending on the phone to my doctor saying "We don't think dilaudid is appropriate". You can go fuck yourself, Dr. Morocco. Since your attending couldn't tell me what I should do (she doesn't know my case that well), how can she tell me what I should do? I mean...you know enough that it's not this? Based on something the pain guy and the neuro don't know? What is that new piece of knowledge?

They wouldn't tell me. Maybe it's special doctor magic.

Well, anyway, I'm shutting off my phones because I cannot talk to my parents like this, and going to see how much fun lying down is for 20 or so hours.

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

That is not a useful sort of magic. I wish you bearable sleep until you can get someone to help you, I guess.

Because books.

There needs to be some kind of outpatient clinic to administer treatments like yours. I wish there was.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am so sorry ita, what a colossal fuck up! I support going into the neuro's office in the morning and waiting until he makes time to see you. This current plan just isn't working.

Exactly! So clearly what's needed. I don't understand why the neuro and the pain doc can agree to a medication plan but neither office is equipped to implement it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So seriously, you got nothing? This is absurd.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Can we start a change.org petition or something? Fucking unbelievable.

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

Jesus, ita, that's just fucked up. They didn't give you anything at all, when the notes from two doctors are right there in your dossier? That ought to be illegal.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm thinking it might at least be worth contacting whatever overseeing body the AMA has in place. Turning a patient in obvious pain away from the ER with no treatment because you don't like the one mandated by their pain and neuro specialists sounds like a matter they should be made aware of.

Does the hospital have an ombudsman? Or something? Maybe an independant patient advocate? God, I wish we could descend en masse and make them fucking see reason.
