that story sounds fake as gently caress. From working in a rural E.R to working in big city E.R's there hasn't ever been a time cops were called because some creepy dude was in the E.R staring at people. If you ever go into a waiting room, everyone looks creepy as gently caress, from the guy who looks like a pedophile school teacher to the homeless dude. Cops get called when patients get irate because they don't get their fix or when the doctor tells them that they can't do anything for them because their problem is specialized and not acute.

Also I doubt a doc would say "make your pain a 6 for vicodin." you were gonna get vic's anyways for 9/10 pain because that's the evidence based practice modality that's currently trending for chronic pain without prior orders from a pain specialist or primary care physician. Some doc's still hand out the big D, but usually it's for individuals with diagnosable symptoms such as pancreatitis that can be detected with objective measurements rather than "i'm in lots o pain gimmie pillz." Not sure if you're just adding some fat to the story since the doctor probably came in, said "where's your pain at, okay no trauma right? alright what's your pain scale? okay i'm done"


But that's my assumption, and I don't really give 2 fucks either way, hope your pain goes away though because I can understand that back pain loving sucks.

Is there a codeword or special wink i can use where they send me away with a wheelbarrow full of xanax?

We gave out xanax to people who were out of their prescriptions having an anxiety attack. They almost never ever got sent home with any, nor did they get a prescription refill. Having a big anxiety attack usually got you a shot of ativan.

If you were having an anxiety attack/psychotic episode you got zyprexa or haldol, depending if you'd take a pill or not.

I don't think he even examined the effected area or ordered any labs. He started doing some cutesy voice thing like "noooo, you're not in thaaaat much pain, maybe a 6 but not the worst pain there is". It was pretty much in and out of the worst pain ive been in all day. I've been through a lot of pain too. Seems like people were trying to stop me from getting it documented.

Once i woke up with an ulcer on my cornea and went to er and tgey gave me a box of codeine. I washed the paracetamol out and drank the whole pack while drinking a sixpack. Went back later cause i was still in screaming agony and they give me more codeine and some oxy. I was throwing up in my mouth and swallowing it so they didnt know i was already nearly ODing so i got more pills.

I had no clue you could actually separate the tylenol out of codeine tablets, fortunately google set me straight.

Too bad you didn't die, that would have been cool
