I didn't ask because I didn't care much at the time but they gave me a measly 50mg of demerol, [beep] sorry, all over my chart it reads 100mg or no effect. So I went home with a sore bum (those do hurt) and no migraine relief whatsoever. I called pissed and found our about the 50mg thing
Ahhhh, yessss!!! The other bane of Chronic Pain. When you have acute pain, it doesn't help to dribble the med dose to you. But how to explain?
I agree with you about the whole opi-fear problem. If I could wave a wand over those situations, patients would be able to tell the truth about their intake, or there would some way to tell instantly that the dose was not enough. They would knock it out that isolated time and send you home.
