so tomorrow we're going to the surgeon's office to get some paperwork filled out. while there i'm going to demand to see him because there is something in my neck that isn't supposed to be, i.e. a drainage tube that was supposed to come out of me before i left the hospital. i want him to see it, i want him to want to do something about it, then i'll tell him no, i want to talk to a lawyer first. then i'll ask for more appropriate pain management and tell him to stop treating me like i have a goddamn sprained ankle instead of a bone graft.

this time, i'm out for blood. the way this shit's turning out, this motherfucker is gonna buy me a house.

I was gonna ask if you had a post-op coming up...

I really really hope something good comes out of this nightmare.
So much for a comfortable healing process, what a douche.

that all really sucks, and unfortunately is pretty common among healthcare to judge. i on the other hand am a sucker, and i often find myself being manipulated because im so easy to hand out pain meds...i hope to find a happy medium though, cause i really cant stand those nurses who are all "of COURSE they want their pain shot"....
anyway, another thought is whether or not you have mention anywhere in any of your chartwork that you are a former addict. opiates and heroine are all pretty much the same thing (i know you know that) so that could be why they are so difficult.
anyway, good luck with this whole situation. maybe you could get a duragesic patch or something?

good luck in kicking their collective asses. this whole thing is just so wrong in many ways.
As Amanda said, if your chart has you listed as a former addict that's one thing, but they have so many pain killing drugs that either aren't considered addictive (yeah whatever) or are administered by a doctor so you can't just decide to take more.
