Don't go to the ER 50 times a year to treat your pain. Addicts are very easy to spot, medical staff have no problems treating pain. But in the age of electronic records we can see that a patient has been to the ER 3 times a weeks for pain, and have been to other hospital ERs when they couldn't get what they want. 1. Go to your primary DR. to who knows you better than any ER doctor does to treat your chronic pain, if he is unable to help you, ask for a pain specialist consult. 2. if you are still unhappy with him get a new primary doctor. The ER. was never designed to treat chronic pain and, because they they know nothing about you other than your asking for narcotic pain meds, they are going to be reluctant to prescribe you anything which you could overdose on if you abuse it. Its hard to understand with the focus on the opioid crisis in our country why this is hard to understand
@Danboster65 Are you stupid?? There are chronic illnesses that have ACUTE PAIN CRISES THAT REQUIRE hospitalizations. You are so jaded by the made up opioid epidemic you actually think legit patients would suffer verbal and physical abuse by disgusting health care workers for a vicodin???? Wow.... you're everything wrong with the system. You know nothing 👍
Oh, these days anyone in pain is considered a drug seeker. It doesn't matter if you shattered every bone in your body. You're still a drug seeker. It's ridiculous, but then again, it IS difficult to tell the difference sometimes. After that type of operation, she shouldn't even be out of the hospital yet, that's why she's still in pain. In the U.S., probably a week is what a person would spend in hospital for surgery like that. But, on the flip side, opiate pain killers can cause a lot of constipation, which can just increase the pain. It's a tricky rope to walk.
@@kaylapreciousprincessarmst785 You’re right she needed to be in longer and nothing that happened would make her not a drug seeker. I don’t understand why people they legitimately know are in pain from their own hands performing surgery want people to just deal with it?
@@CaptchaNeon Liability reasons. You can be sued on a dime these days due to the opiate epidemic, particularly in the US. It's all about covering their asses. Also, the FDA has come down hard on pain meds being too liberally handed out. They used to give them out like candy in the early 2000's and that's how people got hooked on them. They helped create this mess, but it's always the patient's fault, ya know? It's ridiculous.
@@kaylapreciousprincessarmst785 That is ridiculous and I had no idea they were just being given freely at that time. I know someone did a documentary from I think the late 80’s where they said their spouse died of a pill addiction at a time when they didn’t know what the pills caused.
@@CaptchaNeon There's a few different types of pills you can abuse or become dependent on, which can inevitably lead to an overdose. The two biggest ones are opiates (Vicodin, Oxycodone, Morphine, etc) and the other is benzodiazapines (Xnax, Klonopin, Ativan). They've been around for awhile, but in the early 2000's, they were all the rage with doctors. In the 80's, there were a few other opiate pills of choice, such as Demarol and Darvacet. Not widely known and definitely not prescribed anymore, but it's possible the person in the documentary OD'd on one of those. Or, possibly a combination of the two types of pills. A benzo and an opiate are both "downers", meaning they having a depressing affect on the breathing system. Taking some Vicodin combined with Xnax can definitely lead to death as it can shut down your breathing if you're not used to the drugs. Overdoses from the benzos were also popular in the 80's, along with sleeping pills. Although pain killers have been around longer than the benzos, they didn't really become a "thing" for every doctor in America until the early 2000's. You can thank Big Pharma for that. They were telling doctors AND patients those drugs weren't addictive, which is straight up BS. They're both HIGHLY addictive, and actually, with benzos, you don't even have to abuse them to become dependent upon them physically. It's scary how lightly doctors gave these meds out without thought to future consequences. Many people are dead now because of it, or went onto stronger drugs.....street drugs.......when the pills became too weak. It's insane but Big Pharma is really working against us, not FOR us.
Doctors are just paranoid about prescribing legitimate opioid painkillers these days. It's a damn shame because so many people are suffering needlessly with true pain. I understand the risks, but some people truly need it. Unfortunately, everyone is looked at as a drug seeker if you say you have pain.
As a nurse and surgeons wife who’s had many surgeries, is terminally ill, severe chronic pain condition and on 32 meds a day including 3 long term opioids I agree with some surgeries and some patients, however no two people are the same and an appendectomy is usually minor
No, they have to listen to the concerns and address it. Patient seeking drugs doesn't mean they're not also seeking relief. Your an adult you should be able to use your critical thinking skills and realize what's going on here, and why he gave her the medication. Instead you are mad that she got her way, this isn't a customer service this is healthcare.

The hospital gave her Codeine after having her appendix removed? In my uneducated opinion Codeine is far too weak for what she went through.

I understand the risks, but some people truly need it. Unfortunately, everyone is looked at as a drug seeker if you say you have pain.
An appendectomy is typically an out patient surgery done laparoscopic. Its a pretty simple surgery and yes, codeine or norco is appropriate.
Norco is much better than codeine.@@Danboster65
@@Danboster65 Norco yes, codeine is a bit too weak

"I can give you a Tylenol" ER told me. Severe pain undiagnosed for 11 months.
Do you mean the physician have to accept the patient's request?
No, they have to listen to the concerns and address it.
