Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Do many of you carry letters from your GI docs with you at all times. I think this is a great idea since the ER docs here are complete dimwits...they think that everyone is after pain meds just like everyone's ER docs in here...at least it sounds that way. Maybe if I could get Dr.Cotton to explain my condition, the severity, and the need and amount of pain meds to control the pain, the doctors here would put forth a little more effort and do something like run some labs for crying out loud! Anyway...those of you who have a letter, how does that work for you? Are the ER docs more understanding and helpful? Would love to know...hope each and everyone of you are doing well. ---Kim S. P.S.... Guess we've got CP in the water here in NC too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I would not know, I am not at that stage and hope I don't get there. I will sat this, here in San Francisco it is just the opposite. Everytime I have been in the hospital they have loaded me up with tons of drugs. Morphine, Adavan and a bunch of other stuff. Then they have the nerve to write me a prescription for when I leave. On top of all that they inform me that if I cannot afford it that they are contracted with certain pharmacies and I can get the prescription filled for free. I guess everything depends on where you live and the way illness is treated. San Francisco is pretty liberal with medical treatment and I think that is just a reflection of the community as a whole.
