sounds like stuff that really poor hungry people do. when i was younger I was really poor, hungry and in need of basics I couldn't afford. however i never tried to rip off and abuse the medical system.
Can I ask you doctors or whatever you are something serious?
As a chronic pain sufferer from my clavicle and shoulder from a car accident three years ago, and it is severe pain, that can not be fixed by surgery.
Where should I go for pain treatment?
I don't go to the ER
But, should I go to my PCP, or to a pain management clinic?
I tried two pain clinics already and they basically just tried to hand me off to someone else, I believe because I am 24, they ignore me. Discrimination at its worst.
@bradenwoodburnsucks Your best bet would be to start off with your PCP. Was this the same one that treated you since the accident or have you switched since then?
FUCK ALL DOCTORS WHO DO NOT WRITE PAIN KILLER SCRIPTS. I LOVE DOCTOR SHOPPING. I LOVE TYING UP THE ER WITH MY BULLSHIT. I LOVE SELLING MY PILLS. I LOVE SORTING OPANAS. FUCK ALL DOCTORS. BETTER GET USED TO IT. WE WILL NEVER STOP. HAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!
Don't be silly. There are so many patients just like this. Doctors have to deal with their sorry asses every day. They are breaking our system, and wearing our doctors out. If you are a legitimate patient, this isn't about you. Medical people need to laugh so they don't lose their minds!
@gwbian08 yeah screw them. they are hypocrits and cause much of the illnesses and diseases that ppl seek treatment for.
they distribute drugs to kids and get the ppl hooked at an early age..then they turn around and wonder why ppl get addicted..in addition to that, the skits are all chauvinistic and against women
@gwbian08 LOL. OK, so you have legitimate pain, which is CHRONIC. ER is for ACUTE problems. The resistance you are meeting with is the fact that you should be making an appointment with a chronic pain specialist, not going to the ER.
Unfortunately, we have a health care system based on the premise that "they can always go to the emergency room" is adequately addressing the health care needs of tens of millions of Americans.
As long as we put up with a patchwork and inequitable system, people will be devising ways to work it. And the ER is the one place they KNOW a doctor can and will see them.
Ah, the dependent class. Whatever will they do in a real emergency and there's no one around who cares to wipe their ass for them? At least they are reliable votes, sometimes, when the Union guys can find them and bus them around town.
This happens in every ER around the globe!!those patients are really talented in wasting our time which could be better used to treat someone's real emergency:@
Forgive my ignorance, I thought that most US hospitals would be insulated from this type of person as they would actually have to pay for their wastage of health care services (it is a user pays system in USA?), unlike the free public healthcare system I work in. I suppose paracite like scumbags exist in healthcare everywhere.
@kenunderhull You can't get blood from a stone. The average patient depicted in this video either has government medicaid (which pays less than it costs to keep the lights on) or they have no insurance. Medicaid has no copay for ER visits (but does for other visit, dumb huh?) so there is no disincentive to not use it (other than the time it takes out of your day, but if you unemployed who cares). In terms of the uninsured, the hospital has to eat the costs.
@kenunderhull US has the EMTLA act. Which means you have to triage anyone that comes into an ER and cannot ask if they can pay before you do this. You can't get blood from a stone so if someone (ie drug seeker/bum) has no assets the hospital gets no money and writes it off as charity care.
@kenunderhull Also, if they have medicaid (government insurance), it pays so poorly that it doesn't even cover the costs of keeping the lights on. The dumbest thing is that Medicaid has no co-pays for ER visits (but does for scheduled ones with doctors). Thus the only disincentive to use is a patient's time (which if they are unemployed they have plenty of). As a result people with insurance have to pay more to cover everyone else.
@thehomelessguy09 LOL, thanks for clarifying that. We have the same problem in OZ, although we have universal health care. ER's are filled with people who would rather wait 5-10hours to be seen, rather than pay $30 (which is nearly all rebated by the fedral government) to see a local dr. It also seems these people are from similar social backgrounds.
The only problem is that I haven't heard nurses or doctors actually speak to patients like this...we could all lose our jobs if we spoke to this population this way. I wish we could have one day per year to say anything we want to our patients, you know, claim it like a sick day...call it amnesty day. I would give a few of these people what for! I have heard one of the residents tell a patient to get a ride to come in and be seen, but that it is "absolutely not necessary to call the ambulance."
These videos need to be run back to back 24/7 on the televisions in the waiting rooms of every ER waiting room in every ER in the USA. Hahaa haaa hahhhhhaaaaa haaaaahaaaa!!
if you think all drugs should be legalized, and you feel that you should be able to get "Zanax" whenever you want it, then maybe you should learn how to actually spell it. Xanax withdrawal can kill people, which is why, we (healthcare workers) don't give it out needlessly
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm a firm believer that all drugs should be legalized. If I want to get some Zanax, I should be able to get it. If I want to get some Marijuana, I should be able to get it. If I want a cheeseburger, I should have to sign a waiver.
its people like you that we make these videos to show that we do have a problem with drug seeking idiots that dont work and want to use the hospitals as a hilton and a wallgreens pharmacy
well if drugs were legalized then think of the CRIME levels going up as well:( not to mention more health problems going un noticed. I don't agree with @ryanexsus at all and I live with disabling LUPUS pain.

YOU DOCTORS DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO NOT PRESCRIBE NARCOTICS.
1.) I HAVE A LEGITIMATE, VERIFIABLE CAUSE OF CHRONIC, SEVERE PAIN.
2.) I CAN PASS A DRUG TEST ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
3.) I HAVE NEVER DOCTOR SHOPPED.
4.) I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO REFILL A RX EARLY, OR CLAIMED TO LOST THEM.
5.) I HAVE NEVER DISPLAYED "DRUG SEEKING"' BEHAVIOR.
6.) MY MEDICAL HISTORY CONFIRMS MY PAIN AND PAIN HISTORY.
7.) IT RESULTED FROM AN AUTO ACCIDENT.
AND YET, I ENCOUNTER SO MUCH RESISTANCE FROM YOU QUAKS.
