It is my contention that: The average drug seeker is an IDIOT. They are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. When they were passin' out brains, they thought they said trains, so they said pass me by. Bada boom. Bada bing.When you choose to go to the same corporate system that has several hospitals in the area, here's a clue: WE ARE GONNA KNOW IT. We will see that you went to blah blah hospital 10 times and now suddenly you are coming to ours..RED FLAG. Why wouldn't you go back to your friends at blah blah hospital? Thought you would try a new drug source? Unfortunately thats not gonna work for us. Or you either.
I really don't want to hear how disappointed/angry you are that you are in pain and the doctor doesn't care. La la la. Too bad, so sad, bye bye.
This happens ALL THE TIME to us. I work for a hospital corp. that owns 3 out of the 4 hospitals within an hour radius, and people always try to score drugs at our hospital, only for us to find that they just went to the other one yesterday...
ReplyDeleteThe problem that sucks is when you are a chronic pain pt (a real one, and a retired RN due to disability at that) and the staff looks at you that way. Even with a surgical/medical history supporting it. Not all hospitals, of course, but some. The asshole junkies have to ruin it for the rest if us (I'm talking visits every few months however not days!) :)
