[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 432457, member: 3306"] Posted on a seperate thread, but I was in hospital all day yesterday with what turned out to be diverticulitis. I would say that all the staff were kind and understading of my condition, as I was in great pain. But it is very difficult to get pain relief anymore. I had to be there for two hours before I got any morphine. I didn't want to be knocked out, I just wanted to be comfortable for the first time all night. Finally got relief when I was diagnosed. I know that there are frequent flyers who go to the doctor to get pills, my sister is one of them, (a nurse, go figure). But I always end up feeling like a criminal for wanting to not hurt. Same thing happened to my son two years ago when he had his leg operation. He was in terrible pain afterward, he'd had a bone graft. But because he was 18, no one wanted to believe him. I, as his mother, could look at him and tell he wasn't well. I had to have a hissy to get him some IV pain relief. They wanted to give him a pill which would a) take 30 minutes to work, and b) make him sick because he had nothing on his stomach. I guess that's what's annoying to me about health care here.
