So my best friend is in the hospital again. She was having such pain in her kidneys that she took a didaudid and it didn't touch the pain. So she called her doctor and he told her to go to the ER and have them admit her. She can't walk she's in so much pain she's basically in a fetal position. Her Dad had to carry her to the car. She gets to the ER and tells the nurse she has pain in her kidneys, took a dilaudid and it didn't help and the nurse immediately starts treating her as drug seeking. The DOCTOR didn't even come and examine her, instead they wrote her a script for bactrim and lortab and tried to send her on her way! Well she wasn't having it and contacted the patient advocate and her doctor. She gets given an ultrasound and she's in tears from the pain. I don't know what happened next, but they found she has a staph infection, admit her, and put her on jenamicin(sp?).
She was very upset when she called me to tell me about trying to get admitted.
