Stanley, hold on my friend. I too have gotten treated with the utmost disrespect when I've gone to the ER due to severe spinal pain -- they assume I'm a drug seeker, without even hearing my story of several surgeries, umpteen procedures, Lord knows how many injectiions, etc., and they just continue to holler at me and call me an addict!!! That couldn't be further from the truth! I get so damn mad I could SCREAM!  The ONLY time i've EVER gone to the ER is when my doc has been on vacation and it was an emergency -- like i can't walk?? You know -- THAT kiind of emergency!
Needless to say,all they ever do is hand me a vicodin and tell me to go home. Gee, thanks doc. I REALLY appreciate your years of study, and your "warm" bedside manner. I apprciate it so much I'm going to tell the AMA about it, and the Medical Board too!  THAT'S how appreciative I am. GRRRRR
Hang on Stanley = we ALL understand and sympathize. I think most of us have been thru that kind of treatment. It stinks. And those aren't "doctors." Those are "meat cutters." Hang with us here -- we'll get you thru. This is a great place and there are plenty of wonderful people here who totally understand. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
