most definetly the ones playing god with our health! physical and mental! I have numerous horror stories from over the years for myself seeking some type of relief for whatever situation,but as a parent I am sure most would agree to have a child in pain and be unable to obtain any relief is unbearable.Two weeks ago my daughter of whom absolutly refuses to go to a Dr. unless she is VERY sick,said in the middle of the night her sore throat had turned into an unbearable shooting pain.I immediatly took her to the ER and was dissapointed to see a DR. famous for not giving a damn about anyone seeking anything to do with any type of pain relief.He proceeded to tell her to go home drink alot of liquids and rest and then sent us a bill for 277.00 !The next day I got her in to see another Dr. who said her throat is a mess! and I explained thoroughly she cannot get ANY relief or sleep,I said I had a couple darvocets and gave her those and she has taken many aleve with no relief.The dr.prescribed her an antibiotic and prescription strength motrin! At this point I am just praying maybe she will get to feeling a bit better on her own from the antibiotics.The poor kid layed in bed just crying with a heating pad on her neck and ear.I called the Dr. back and told her about the extreme pain and she called her in 10 darvocets! I mean this is on Friday and office hours are almost over.I was sooooooo mad I mean what the hell,they couldn't call in something a bit stronger with perhaps more than 10?????? About 12 hrs. later she cannot talk she hurts so bad and is crying and begging me to take her to another hospital or she is going to kill herself.So I am so pissed off now I am going to pull a John Q. !!!!!!In case anyone missed the movie with denzel watch it! I get her back in the ER,and thank God I see a different Dr. with a bit of a compassionate look on his face,he takes her in the exam room and tells the nurse this child has an abcess the size of a 50 cent piece that is covering her throat and has spread to her ear canal.He immediatly put her on a demerol IV and they took a large needle and syringe and drained it half full! She still could not get any relief from the demerol believe it ir not and he said she has to be admitted so we can get this pain under control,he said if the pain had been managed properly in the first place it may not have reached the unbearable stage it had.They proceeded to put her in a quiet private room on a morphine drip which she stayed on for 48 hrs. and even then when she was able to take all her meds orally he said could stay as long as sh felt she needed! Anyway she was then sent home on 2 antibiotics prednisone and lortab which at that point was all she needed.ANyway PLEASE forgive me for writing this long probably rambling and boring story but I really needed to get that out of me and this seemed like a good place to post it.It is truly a sad statement of this day and time with all the miracles of modern medicine that anyone should have to endure any pain at all.I have learned that you really have to be a bitch and tell them on the pain scale you are off the chart...they have to write that on your chart and if you arn't treated properly then its their ass,I kind nurse told me that while I sat in the hospital with my daughter,and she also told me on the side that I had every right and reason to file a complaint against the Drs. that I had brought her to.Oh sorry but PS George Washington died from the same thing she had!Thanks to any and all who took the time tolisten to me ramble and if any other parent feels the need to unburden themselves feel free to write me!Thanks and love you all....be pain free and god bless.......wrenn
