Can't tell you how many patients think being in the hospital (or clinic) is some kind of quid-pro-quo deal. "I waited this long, you owe me some Norco" or "I'll take X if you will give me Y" or my personal favorite "Give me X or I'll leave AMA" as if leaving AMA has any impact on me whatsoever other than having one less person on my census.
Or basically bargaining in general. I'm not here to sell you something. I don't make any money off the things I do or don't prescribe. It's so weird. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ... Copied to Clipboard!

So you purposefully withhold pain medication from patients who are in absolute agony and then say they are the weird ones? Smh.

Lol, people really do that? I came in when my regular doctor fucked me over and put my appointment on Thanksgiving and I was suppose to get my pain med script. I was grateful that they helped me out cause I was fucked without it. But I realized they weren't just obligated, even though I was the one fucked over in the first place by someone else.

Especially because, at least with some of the stuff i.e. fentanyl, its become a national/federal issue now, right? It sucks ass when youre in legitimate pain though. For me it wasnt so bad because they were able to more or less fix my health issue but watching my Dad go out slowly and agonizingly made me wish they could just keep upping the dose and not be so stingy with it. --- "Call me when you get a back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Because you can kill someone with high dose opiates, and unless someone has extremely high tolerance or is "comfort measures only", most doctors aren't comfortable prescribing potentially lethal doses of opiates. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ...

Right. The remedy to this is you stop taking them 16 hours before you plan on waking up. Also take something like miralax every morning. 10 years of experience right here --- Name checks out https://i.imgtc.ws/vBF8odT.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pain management is a never-ending pendulum that doctors can seemingly never win
Tick: Doctors don't treat pain adequately, they need to be less stingy with opioids Tock: Doctors are killing people with opioids, we need to cut back And it doesn't matter which side of the pendulum swing you're on, you will always lose a lawsuit. Whether it's overtreating pain or undertreating pain. The worst part of all is that pain is the single most subjective "vital sign". You can't just target a specific X/10 number, because you'll have people playing Candy Crush saying their pain is 10/10 while someone in agony will say they're 6/10. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ...

There's a large number of people on chronic opioids who are, quite literally, only satisfied when they're on so much medication that they're stuporous. If they regain any level of consciousness, they immediately ask for more medication.
It doesn't really matter how bad your pain is, that's no way to live. It's cruel to those who are actually in that much pain, and it's dangerous and irresponsible to those who are doing it for the high. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ... Copied to Clipboard!

does pain tolerance get in the way too? like do you ever run into absolute tanks of people who should be outputting a 10 but they're like bored? i knew what you meant by ama but i still read it 'ask me anything' and it made it funny. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If they regain any level of consciousness, they immediately ask for more medication. When your tolerance goes down from over applying, it takes so many to get to that level. I wouldn't even tell people here how many I've taken in 24 hours. But Im also fine with my life on the minimal amount to get me by. --- Name checks out https://i.imgtc.ws/vBF8odT.png ...

See when I was last in the hospital my pain was manageable (I had an esophagus and lung infection) except for when I had to swallow (i.e. eating and drinking). So even though the pain wasnt constantly bad, I really needed it gone to be able to get food down so I usually ranked my pain a pretty high number so Id be able to eat. --- "Call me when you get a back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Ooh sorry to hear that about your spine. Don't be. We all got our things to overcome. Mine being visual gives me a sympathy that people who are scarred inside don't get. We all deal with shit and some people don't get the other fallbacks I have in life during. Plus, after 10+ years, you gotta just accept it's your norm and not get caught up in what others have. Cause like I said, just cause you don't see their scars don't mean they have it better. --- Name checks out https://i.imgtc.ws/vBF8odT.png ... Copied to Clipboard!
