I have a large perianal abscess, and was admitted to the hospital on Monday. My normal colorectal surgeon was away at a conference, so I had to see her residents....I was told that my horrible pain (that was not even controlled with dilauded) was just from my anal skin tag (I have had this for three years, and I know that is not the problem). I was refused an exam under anesthesia, and one of the nurse practitioners said I was just a hypochondriac. Ironically, she told me this based on the fact that I have numerous chronic illnesses....she told my mom that I was just seeking attention, and that my newest diagnoses of fibromyalgia was made up. SERIOUSLY?! She didn't give me the pain meds that were finally helping control my pain because apparently they don't work for young adults. Also, she took me of my phenergan because "it looked like I was just seeking drugs when both zofran and phenergan are on my meds list". In her words, no one gets nausea every day, and if they say that then they are faking to get medications. I have been sent home with only a few pain meds and am waiting for my normal colorectal surgeon to come back and check me out.....
I just cannot believe that I was treated so badly when my pain is horrible, and my wbc was raised. The doctors did not listen to me; they interupted me and talked over me. :ymad: I am very sick, but did not receive any care
