OHG so very sorry that you were treated that way. There is such a lack of compassion at that hospital. You are there because you were sick. To dismiss you because your were in pain is horrible. I have screamed in pain too, and they look at you like you are crazy. Let them suffer the same, and I bet their attitudes would change very quickly. I don't believe in law suits, but what they did to you, they have no soul. Someday, the tables will reverse, and they will be on the receiving end of medical care. Those who practice without mercy, will be shown no mercy. I got into a situation, where two different doctors would not communicate, because I had not been released from my surgeon yet. I had been in pain therapy, and wound up two weeks without anything. I suffered, because of their lack of communication. Hope your future care is better than what you had to go through. I would be making some changes for sure. Bless you, and I hope you have some people in your life to help support you. ginnie
