It was not even properly prescribed Ultracet is for only moderate pain. An acute injury like a broken rib doesn't even qualify as moderate, it can be severe when it comes to pain. I would call back and blow off the PA get the doctor on the phone.

My wife and I had recently moved and she had broken a tooth, exposed nerve, when we went to see a new dentist for an emergency he gave her Bextra! I called back and they refused to upgrade her prescription and told her she would have to see her regular doctor for anything stronger. I called an oral surgeon who the dentist had refered us to and I knew him, he brought her in and gave her percocet right on the spot and then a script for 30 until he could get her in 1 week latter. He actually got her in the chair in 5 days and then wrote another 30 for her because she also had 2 wisdom teeth removed. He called the dentist while I was there the 1st time and reamed him. The dentist said he didn't know her and that people actually break their teeth for narcotics! My surgeon told him that was a load of bull and not to ever treat her or any of his referals like that again or he would never refer any of his patient';s back to the dentist. Well we got a call from the dentist he appologized and has been great with extra work my wife has had since, he even gives her Valium because she gets very nervous anytime she is in the chair for a while. My point is I turned this around by talking with the oral surgeon and exposing the lack of compassion the dentist had. We actually like the dentist now but our first meeting I wanted to break his neck and his receptionist's.
Take care. Billylll
