It is really sad that we have this incorrect document of our lifes. I have had similar experience's and it is something that stays with you. It is wrong. If you were seeing 2-3 doctors a day, that is a different story, and I have heard of that going on. I have had 27 surgery's in the last 6 years, and yes my drug sheet would be scarey to look at, but it shouldn't shame me like I had a doctor do one time. I now suffer with Chronic pain, and if I have a take a pain med for it, but if I go for surgery, or an accident, or an emergency, that prescription doesn't really apply to what has been done to me at the time. The thing that really bothers me about this so called "list" is it isn't the true representation of what is going on with an individual.
Last week I severed the tendon in my thumb, had to have surgery to attach the tendon, and I went to the emergency room that I always go too, and I know they look at the "list" and think you are a druggie. Guess what, I should have gotten morphine, but I got Hydro's 7.5 which is asprin for brain surgery. I know they look and think you just want the drugs. I almost told them I didn't want anything?

I apologize for venting, but I would like to cut a finger of a few doc's and then treat them the way they treat their patients. We live in a great time for illness and disease, but the doctors are afraid to properly treat pain, and some doctors are just getting it.

Again, I apologize but I know what you are saying because I live in that same fear every month that someone is looking at me for having to take pain meds. That is part of why I am here to avoid this whole thing with the doctors.

Sorry again and good luck?
