So I called both my doctors offices who help treat my RSD, they couldn't get me in to treat the flare and both advised me to go to E.R. for pain help. The DR there was an ***. He did help the pain, gave me dilaudid and valum? I never had valum before but it at least helped for the night. And I'm still in a lot of pain but not as much as last week. So both my doctors told me the E.R. could confirm with then I was a patient and they had referred me to ER if the Attending doc had any questions......The *** turns around and tells me I need to quit coming to ER or mu file will be "Red Flagged". I was so ******. I told him this was still pretty new and we haven't gotten it "under control" yet so to speak. I ended up filing a complaint with the Er manager the next day. As with BOTH my doctors recommendation it was absurd for him to say something like that. It wasn't like I just come in every week with no diagnosis......My doctor was fairly mad at that too. I'm calling back the hospital today to see if they talked to that doctor. We ALL have had this experience more than once I'm sure, but when your doctor TELL you to go, they have NO right to treat you like some sort of druggy......We should ALL file complaints when things like that happen, maybe they'll start treating us better rather than WORSE!
