[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience as a patient. I had waited over a week with the flu before i sought care. By the time I went to the ED, I hadn't been eating or drinking x 48 hours. I was in terrible pain. For whatever reason, they assumed I got the flu on purpose to seek drugs, even though they thought I was sick enough to be admitted and X-ray should signs of pneumonia. Then I was told I could only be admitted if I didn't ask for any pain medication. I was very very sick. So I agreed. I'm very angry and upset. I don't use drugs. The assumption that I did was so unfair, and once I was labeled they were mean to me. The ER nurse put the call bell on the other side of the room. I was so weak I needed help to move. The RN said something like "you have legs." I was dehydrated, they couldn't stick me. When I tried to tell them the IV was infiltrating, they rolled their eyes. It was awful.[/quote]
