  3. Hi Sweetie,

    This is what the stupid rude doctor gave me in the Emergency Room because she refused to give me an opioid (the stronger pain reliever that had worked earlier that day)...

    It's basically beefed up ibuprofen, just another NSAID that doesn't do anything for people requiring opioid~level pain relievers... She gave it to me to cover her own butt so that she doesn't have to fill out extra forms. (Opioids are level 2 controlled substances and each time they are prescribed or given, the doctor has to report it so that it's all accounted for...)

    Love to you!
    ~Casey

  4. It's for pain? It sounds like a trumped up version of tylenol or motrin. Only worse if it has costly side affects with a bad kick to it!

    Casey....are you ok right now?

  6. One day when you are bored and have LOTS of time, kindly go to my tags, click on HOSPITAL, CASEYSICK, "college_problems", and UWGB...
    I never knew what that all entailed, but heck I bet there are two or three (at least) that could be filed.
    Know any good attorneys for her?

  7. Dang. That's what one of my doctors (I don't see anymore) would give me for my migraines. He would only treat the symptoms and not the problem. He would also give me some anti-nauseous shot too.
    I'll need to look into some more of this info. Thanks Anna.

    You're the sweetest for keep up on these things.

  8. I pray that Casey doesn't have any ill effects from this dr's stupidity and laziness. Get her Anne.
