annoyed
I’m very, VERY annoyed. The doctors won’t give me my painkillers even though I’m literally doubled up in pain with stomach cramps and PMT, all because when I went into hospital, my mom went through my room, found any medication I had (inc sore throat sweets and contraceptive pills) threw them away and reported to the doctor that I’d been ‘living off them all’. Now one of the things in there was a box of painkillers – so now they think I’m addicted to them. But if I was, would I a) not have had any left in my room, b) gotten over it since I haven’t taken any since I left hospital and c) shown withdrawal symptoms when I had to stop taking them?
Sooo grrrrrr…
I just feel it’s pretty damn unethical of a doctor to leave a patient in a lot of pain, despite explaining the mix-up with my mom, suggesting they lowered the dose/gave me less in a go/monitored my prescriptions – after I’ve tried paracetamol, ibuprofen, double strength ibuprofen, heat packs, hot water bottles, gentle exercise, hard exercise, back rubs, massages, baths, mefanamic acid etc.
I am NOT a happy bunny.

I agree about the whole addiction thing, you would be showing signs if you were addicted..like withdrawl..
That really sucks..
