Oh Becky i am so so sorry. that is complete bullsh!t. You should have been knocked out, period!!!!!! I just can't imagine the pain you were/are in and i understand your 'i don't care' feelings. I wish i was with you and we could watch beverly hills 90210 and Sopranos re-runs. we could also plan an attack on that bit@h.
I've got a gun! And I know how to use it! (Texas Joke here,,,don't come and get me!) Honestly, how could she be so vicious? Big time, complain about it. It's one thing that the meds were not working but for her to basically BLAME you for having pain??? Makes no sense to me. You have gone through so very much..you are the expert here. She does not even have the 1st idea of what you have gone through here!
Okay, regroup, talk to your doctor and get knocked out next time. Heck, I'm just getting a port placed on Friday and my doc said I'll be out for that!
Go figure! Healing love being sent to you,,,,

What a B! It amazes me that they can dismiss pain like it is an inconvenience to them?!?!?!?! YOU DESERVE BETTER and I hope you get the care and attention you need/deserve!
Stay strong, there has to be a better way!!!!! You CAN get through this!!!
I am so sorry you are having such a horrible time. Thinking of you and hoping you get some real answers soon.

OMG! You called it - she's a b!tch. There's no need for that kind of treatment. Can you request a different doctor? With my heart procedures I had Versed (the conscious sedation) but they also used Fentanyl for pain since burning bits of your heart can hurt. I didn't have any pain at all. Geez, it makes me want to scream and cry that it went so badly for you. Maybe we should all go egg her house or something. People like that shouldn't be in health care.
Rest up. Gentle hugs and sweet dreams to you.
Today went awful. They gave me lots of medication and I was pretty dopey, but whatever she was doing caused a great deal of pain and I just couldn't tolerate it. Apparently, when all was said and done, the nurse gave me SIX times more medication than I should have had...and I still managed to walk out of there like nothing happened. They have to re-schedule for another time and put me under general anesthetic...
The doctor was mean - that's the only word I can think of. She was getting frustrated at ME because I was shouting out in pain...all I remember was laying on a table bawling my eyes out, appologizing to her for being in pain. Then she just walked out...didn't talk to me or tell me anything - one of the techs there had to tell me she didn't finish the procedure.
I know a nurse told her I was upset because she came to talk to me afterwards and said that maybe when they re-book it I'll be lucky and get someone else....what a b*tch.
I am so sick of being in pain...I just don't want to do this anymore...why can't they just take my stupid kidney out? Why do they keep insisting on putting me through these ridiculous procedures?
I'm done...I've got nothing left. I'm to the point where I just don't care anymore...
Becky
I too am thinking of you today Becky, and hoping the surgery goes well, and you are able to handle the sedation. Your an amazing young woman.
Hugs
