Surgury With No Pain Meds To Go Home With

Or...
...the fact it was a local surgery. Nobody gets extra special treatment. Why should the OP?
Local surgery + local anesthetic = local inflammation = Pain that an opiate can't treat.

Only anti-inflammatory medications were necessary. At least the OP got the highest dose of that. It's just unnecessary complaining that will lead nowhere.

i've been in the ER for some pretty serious wrecks where i was taken by ambulance, and i was in real bad pain, and i still didn't get pain meds.

And yeah when I was younger (I think I was 14 or 15) I fractured my leg in 2 places and broke it in a third. The third was where it splits sideways, kinda like: ----/ /----. Took 4 months to heal completely, in a cast that went from my toes to my hipbone.

They sent me home without meds and told my mom to give me tylenol if I felt pain. I was up all night screaming x_x.

are you a doctor man?
 
No, actually, I got them because I'm on 240mg OxyContin a day and 40mg OxyIR. He offered me more oxycodone and I said give me hydromorphone it works better for breakthrough pain... Don't speak on something you don't know.
 
Or maybe it's because I'm in a wheelchair, constantly dealing with chronic pain, and not all doctors are condescending goofs like you? ;)
 
I'm not condescending at all, and I'm not a doctor, I just know how they work. I have to, I'm in med school. If I were your doctor, you would be in a bliss, I would let you have what you damn well please. But when you become dependent, it's still my fault. This is the fucked up part of the whole thing.

But on the other-hand, not everyone's a chronic pain patient, and will not receive any opiate pain meds for a toe nail removal. I'm still sure he wanted you to be in no more pain then you already are.

I'm not the asshole, I'm telling the truth. Don't be upset at me. I have no control of what medical advisory boards do to these poor doctors to make them watch people suffer.

In most cases I see doctors all the time say: "I can't give you anything narcotic, or it's my ass." (not referring to you Kurrupt.)
 
I really want to set new standards. I know what some go through, seeing some shit people are getting hospitalized for, that sometimes it's not enough.

Hospitals suck for the mental anguish that some people go through. The thought of having pain alone causes grief, and doctors are nothing like they want to be.
They go in and cut off an arm, but can't always throw the good shit to you. They really want to, but have to keep their careers at the same time. Stupidly tough choices have to be made, and it's never left to the patient like it should be.

Personally, I think if you have a way to pay for what you want, you should get full rights to it.
But sadly, it's the other way around for most.

yea my ma has had some very rough surgeries over the years, and some doctors are very thoughtful and others are more worried about their jobs.
I hope you can help set some new standards as you desire, and good luck on your journey to being a MD!
 
Any kind of "surgery" without pain medication is bullshit. Really, so a dr gave surgery.. wtf is a script for 20 vicodin gonna hurt? Might not "kill" the pain but it might distract the patient from the pain. In conjunction with ibuprofen.. or even a script of vicuprofen.. might have made all the difference for this guy. No dr is gonna lose their license for writing a narcotic script after surgery, however they will use people as guinei pigs and script new meds.. oh the irony. I hate most drs.
 
Not that they can't. There are risks involved. It all sounds so simple, but it is really complicated.

Even if the patient is content with the doctor's service, that awful medical board can pull the switch any way they "see fit." (As they damn well please.) The most simple things have been turned into nightmares for doctors. The med board can swindle the shit out of you if you aren't careful. (Either by saying the meds were inappropriate, or you made it look like they were needed by falsifying information.) This does not always lead to a license termination. Instead, they can put new limits on an individual doctor's practice.

Remember, this is as they (see fit.) We have no control. A bullshit game of checks and balances. Except for one thing, there is no "balance." But, they seem to always check.

It's a shittier process than most think.

In the end, it all boils down to one thing and one thing only, MONEY.

That sucks, and is highly irresponsible on the doctors/hospitals part. I'd go back and let them know how you feel, even if just for your own resolution.
 
Most doctors are more persistent than you can ever be going in there and giving a pain testimonial. You likely get: "Yeah..... Uh huh....... Um hm....... O.K. I see. 500mg of naproxen should do the trick." But the whole time we know damn well it's not.
 
I'm surprised that it is a problem for doctors to write a script for a post-op patient.... My reason being that when I had my appendix removed, they wanted me discharged the next morning ~10 hrs after surgery.... They couldn't discharge me unless I could get out of bed on my own, which I couldn't... So they gave me shots of morphine until I could get up and out of bed... And a 2 week script for vicodins...

So I am surprised because it seems that since they are forced to discharge people early that are still in pain, that a narcotic script would be given.
