Man falls 13' onto concrete, writhing in pain, healed with mere words

+1 on the toradol, it was the only thing that ever really helped me also.

It's an amazing feeling when your feel the relief. Every time I got a shot, in about 5-10 minutes I just felt a weird feeling like a switch was thrown and the pain abated, followed by my body relaxing. I'm sure I was still really hurting, but by comparison, it was nothing. Oxycontin & oxycodon were useless by comparison.

Day six sucks like nobody's business, though.

I had one Dr tell me "it's not like you have a broken bone, i can't just give you the IV pain meds".

That happens with some docs. They are so jaded from the seekers and jerks that they take it too far. Anyone in acute pain if I don't have a very high suspicion of faking or inappropriately coming to the ER for chronic pain gets medicated. Clots hurt. Did you spill your coffee on his leg when he rounded?

Edit: the above wasn't fair. Some docs start off as jerks, just like any other profession.

When back pain/sciatica is that bad, I've found that narcotics don't help much unless they put you out.

You should come to yoga with me.

You can fix your back like Hank Hill and then we can run the hill after!

Judge: Mr Hill, this man is so annoying he isn't helping your case.
Hill: Exactly! Do you think I'd choose to spend more then three seconds in a room with him if I didn't have to?

Awesome.

When I had an infection in my jaw precipitating the root canal I had a few months ago, I shamelessly took acetaminophen according to the instructions on the bottle. Am I going to the big house for my criminal ways?

We can do probation but you will need to wear a wire on bunny. I hear he is into grass.

If I could have stood up I just might have hit him. I know all docs are not that way. I told my family doc about the situation and though I do not and never will know the outcome I know records were pulled and complaints were filed.
The pill junkies do make it difficult on everybody that has real problems. I can't imagine having to do your job and trying to make those calls in an ER.
