I think I still have the unfilled script for phenobarbital and atropine. As much as taking a dysphoric dissociative hallucinogen that was used as a poison in the dark ages and dying an excruciating death from bowel stoppage, I think ima pass.

The last place I went to made me sign an agreement not sue for malpractice in order to get life saving medicine, and they have a big sign posted stating you aren't allowed to bring a witness to an appointment. But the doctors bring in a witness for themselves.

You should call your primary care physician usually after a week if you have consistent pain, or sooner if it's REALLY painful and concerning. If you can't run on it, then maybe wait a week, if you can't walk on it, then probably get in a bit sooner.

Just don't be one of those dick fucks that come into the E.R and are like "I have knee pain FIX ME RIGHT NOW"

Because I have tons of replacement knee's I can just swap out like your video card on your gaming PC you fat shithead.


I hate about 60% of the people who go into E.R's and disrupt my day, just so you guys know.

Maybe they'll pass the assisted suicide thingy and make it retroactive to like 3 years ago and imply consent from my corpse.

I remember waiting in an er once. Trying to contain the searing nerve pain. I was nearly next, then a family shows up with self-inflicted wounds so they could be seen before me. Then an old man comes in complaining of chest pain, bumping me further back in the queue. In addition to that they keep staring at me. I'm just sitting there trying to be as comfortable as possible and they are staring me down like some crazy assholes. Then they call they police and say they "don't like the look on my face and don't think I should be there".

Cops show up and detain me for quite some time, saying they'll let me back in the er if I agree not to have the incorrect expression on my face. Finally a doctor sees me. Asks me how much pain I'm in. I say it's on par with surgery so a 9 or 10. He says no, I think it's like a 6 or a 7, I'll give you some Vicodin if you say it's a 6. I asked him how he could tell how much pain I was in. He said the look on my face wasn't that of someone in as much pain as I was describing. I asked to be discharged from the hospital and reiterated I was between a 9 and 10 and deal with pain every day. Turns out he was a human being.

I dunno, slept on a lovely couch after some radio show, tried to drive up this stupid steep hill and was spazzing so bad I had to turn around and go the other way. Couldn't really do any of the normal day to day poo poo, thought I might have pulled something or pinched a nerve in my neck. poo poo literally felt like cracking and burning all the time. Couldn't do anything to get comfortable, but poo poo I'm not gonna let some punk rear end Doctor coerce me into saying I'm in less pain than I am.

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.
