Well that is definately more trouble than i would be interested in. I realize that i came in at the end of a long thread, but i was merely curious when i read this post:

Hmmm?
And yes, although it's well documented that my allergic reaction to aspirin and that branch of meds is anaphylactic shock, as are the results of my liver biopsy and exploratory surgery, i don't believe that documentation is either available or read by MDs in the emergency/immed.care clinics. Strangely enough, even when i've been there before, OR when i've suggested my own MD be phoned. As you said, if i have the energy to make a stand after getting the 'narcotic alert heroism' attitude, i will, but i so rarely need trauma pain meds, and my own MD is just a 'next business day' phonecall away. i don't think anyone has the patience to deal with timely resistances or feeling like they're suspected of something scummy, when they are in pain and just want to go home.
But thanks for your encouraging backbone!
Next time i need stitches, get overwhelmed by a headache, or smash a finger, i'll no doubt remember your encouragement.
Thanks for the research, too. Doesn't sound like an 'easy' that someone in pain should be attempting. Perhaps Damon4130 had something else in mind, or should have been posting on 'PsychoBabble Substance Use' ;-) ?To each his own,
Escher
