i was in the hospital and after 4 days of iv injections of dilaudin,every 4 hours,the attending said no more pain meds the pain you are feeling dosent warrent you have to have pain meds,he said you must be addicted to pain meds that why you keep asking for them,well i did cuss him out and them explained were and how bad the pain was and he said to bad and stopped my meds.i cried for and few hours because he made me feel like and drug addict and every time the nurses came in they treated me so different then before the doc had made that statement.so after awhile i called the complaint line for the hospital,and some lady came and i explained to her what happened and she got so mad called the doc to my room and she demanded he give me and apology,i could tell it was said for the benifet of her and not me but all the same she got him to restore my pain meds,and if the pain was really bad,they gave me a pain pill after three hours,two days later a new doctor saw me,and apoglized for the action of the other doctor he reviewed my tests and said he was going to give me an higher dose of my pain meds cause they found an very big kidney stone that was trying to pass,and i had an serious bladder infection,and because of that they were going to place and stint in my bladder,and i had a very bad bacteria infection in my stomach so i was giveing and very high dose of two different antibiotics,and i had an fistula near my anus,that was inflammed,and on top of that from the antibiotics they were all ready giveing me i got a really bad case of an yeast infection,then they moved me out of a room i was shareing because they said the bacteria infection was contagious,but still the nurses treated me like a dog so after 28 days i told them no more im checking out the lady who had came for my complaint was called into see me and she explained the bacteria infection was still not cleared up and if i wanted to go home i would have to have an pick line installed so i did that and went home they gave me an nurse to come check on me so on the fourth day of me being home she came out and she was there only for app 15min i told her what happend at the hospital and she called the hospital and spoke to someone and she told them she was reporting them to some one canet remember,then she called my regular doctor she told him what was going on and he made a house call in under 30 min and he checked me out he called in an order to have an nurse come give me my pain shots every 4 hours the last one for the day ws at 11 pm at an real high dose and an order for vicodin number 10 he said if i woke up from pain and it ws really bothering me to take 1 every 4 to six hours and if that didnot work to go to the other hospital in our town,well let me tell you this i was feeling like a queen for 4 months,it took that long to get all matters cleared up,and it got my regular doctor to review all my illness and redo all my meds im not pain free but it's more were now i can tolerate what pain i do have.and my doctor spends more time with me.so never give up no matter how ashamed you get from something some one says about your pain meds,get up and get calling some one above your doctor,i called the mayors office,and got so much needed help,so when all fails call you local goverment they will get you in touch with some programs that will help you,happely liveing life now.
