Re: Which is more offensive.......

I guess, as a Mom, I have to consider myself lucky. My son has been very fortunate as far as getting proper pain relief when he needed it, ie: broken leg, 2nd degree burns on his hand, back injury etc. The first time he needed narcotic pain meds was when he was 8, the resident wanted to give him ibuprophen and I thought the attending Dr. was going to smack him..He told the guy"Does this child look like he is going to abuse narcotics and what makes you think that ibuprophen is even going to touch his pain", he had 2nd degree burns on his hand, well I almost busted out laughing.if I hadn't been so worried about my baby i probably would have. Anyhow the attending Dr. prescribed 30 percocets and told me if they didn't help to call him. I was so impressed with this Dr. I had always heard that some Drs. feel that children don't feel pain like adults, and I call B*** Sh** on that one. Anyhow I also find the later, people not getting proper pain control, totally obscene. There are alot of people that commit suicide from not getting proper relief and that is so offensive. I am sure there is a statistic on that out there somewhere.
