Pain Doctors nightmare and spinal headache and concussion

[Guest guest]

Hi

just got out of hospital, they stuffed up a head injury i had gave

me a spinal epidural and i now have that a spinal headache,

concussion and pancreatitis but i am not going back to hospital I

hate it

they had me on ketamine, am taking 160 mg fast release morphine and

its not holding it

I am now seeing head of pain team this thursday he called me today,

the other doc who was expertimenting on me is sacked, he basically

extorted me and said that the epidural he stuffed up he took an hour

to get needles in without xray and then sent me away , I fell over

twice outside the hospital went to the ER after calling the duty

manager, he basicaly before that said he would abort all my pain

treatment he wanted me to go quietly due to his stuff up, wanted to

agree that he was right refused to do a blood patch that the

neurologist had ordered and conned another anethetist not to do it

all I wanted was pain relief, It was a 9. I had 2 stints in hospital

and was there around 11 days

I left noone there to pick me up fell over outside the hsopital

twice hit my head twice and went back to emergency. He also

threatened me with no pain treatment as the epxperiments he has been

doing dont seem to be ethical. I am now seeign the head of dept.He

has breached about 3 code of rights that we have now seen.

My mum came to my rescue,my relationship is not looking good, and I

cant work due to meds and pain.

I am now on clonazepam as well to help me sleep

They had me on ketamine, and I am home I go back on Thursday to see

what they can do.

Its such a mess, I am trying to get on top of it now, am also goign

to write a complaint, he the previous pain doc saw me 3 times after

my mother complained to have a go at me then came in at 4 30 and

kicked me out when he knew the neurologist had gone home.

The Emergency staff picked me up off the floor outside the ER where

I collapsed crying from pain the second time

Debs, I'm so glad this doctor has been fired..couldn't have happened

to a more deserving guy I am sure..

I hope your nightmare ends for you soon, and the new pain doc can

get it under control. I would still be writing a complaint as you

are..If you have to pay for these extra medical bills out of your

own pocket, I'd be looking at that doctor contributing as he was the

one who got you in this situation.

Sorry to hear that your relationship is going south...some people

just can't handle the worst of illnesses. I haven't been on the

carer's side, but I know it has to be hard. Are there no other

family or friends you can rely on even for transport? Perhaps you

could call the Emergency Squad (or whatever they are called in NZ)

and ask if they know of any groups that can help people out even for

transportation if this situation arises again.

I hope this is the bottom that you have hit and the only other

direction to go is up...

take care,

Debs,

you poor thing. though I'm not surprised by that previous doctor's

behavior considering his previous behavior towards you. I am glad you

are now seeing the head of the pain department and hopefully your pain

will be under control soon. I am sorry that you were in the hospital and

that you had fallen twice and that it was due to that idiot (the nicest

thing I have to say about him. you don't want to hear the things I'm

thinking about this guy) you were seeing before. Defintely write that

complaint letter to everyone you can think needs to see it (Head of

hospital, here we have Medical boards/associations that oversee doctors

too, if you have anything similar there, definitely send a copy to

them). I am so glad that your mom is helping you get through this,

though I'm sorry your relationship (I assume to your significant other?)

is not looking good. You have been though so much the past year. Try

and take it as easy as you can.
