Anger does not describe how I feel today!
Sunday, I either dislocated my knee or tore a ligament or tendon while out with my nephew. I went to the ER at Seacoast in Myrtle Beach, SC. I explained that I could not have NSAIDS. Well seven hours later when I finally saw the doctor, he asked why I couldn't take NSAIDS and I told him I had Gastric Bypass surgery, he then asked my why I would do that. He then decided that I just wanted drugs sent a nurse in to give me antipsychotic meds and sent me home with an order to take NSAIDS! I had asked for Tramadol not a narcotic!
Well of I went to a second ER and in less than an hour I had a referral to an orthapedic surgeon and a prescription for Tramadol along with crutches and a knee imobolizer.
I am beyond angry at my treatment and the questions.
Just venting!

Definitely inappropriate. He took advantage of his position to cast judgement. Shame on him.
I hope that you're better soon.
