Unfortunately, there are far ...You said it, Legend. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, there are far too many doctors and nurses who think it's some kind of a game to try and figure out who is and isn't a junkie, based on little more than personal ignorance, bigotry and pseudoscience. And if they guess wrong and destroy someone's life, so what? It's still a fun game to play. There is nothing quite so pleasing to some as the sweet sensation of self-righteousness. It's kind of like a, you know, DRUG, to these people.<BR/><BR/>BTW I am curious how you are doing with your pain management these days.If you're still down in the city, I know a few good pain specialists down there who might be willing to work with you despite your past problems, if you are honest and forthright with them about it. Send me an e-mail through the "About" link on the main page where there is a contact on the bottom if you're interested.Payne Hertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358321256290371942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632421301991103870.post-91633358685938912812007-08-23T03:32:00.000-04:002007-08-23T03:32:00.000-04:00Wow, don't I know it! There were two in particula...Wow, don't I know it! There were two in particular, at my local hospital, who had me flagged, and all I could expect was a game of 'pin the tail on the junkie.' It got to where I believed them...I had every symptom, including attempts to stop, a crminal record, until-my PAROLE OFFICER,took notice of my marked difficulty in walking,and standing up straight...that she insisted that I find a pain specialist! It wasn't an overnight success, but, I'll never forget the time, when, in the office of one such doctor(who was helpful for the time, but planned on emigrating), I came upon a pamphlet, put out by the AMA, which described me almost perfectly...under the heading 'pseudoaddiction.'<BR/><BR/>I would have jumped,if I could. I just imagined those 2 ER sadists laughing their asses off, had I ever suggested such a thing to them! Ha!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
