[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hospitals will do that if you are a frequent flier. Read enough forums on websites for people with chronic conditions and you will hear horror stories. I don’t tolerate opioids well and never request them, but I was even refused an IV once until my doctor spoke with ER staff. [/quote] The ER is not the appropriate place to obtain medication to manage chronic pain or other other chronic health conditions. They don't know you and don't know your medical history and don't have the tools to evaluate you fully for chronic conditions. If your doctor had time to talk to the ER doctor, then your doctor should had time to call in a prescription to the pharmacy for you. Don't blame the ER staff for your doctor's laziness or your failure to follow up with the appropriate care provider. [/quote]
