Mrs. Dword: "Yeah, I saw you a year or so ago for my pain issues, and they're pretty bad now. I'm in Farfaraway Hospital ER."
Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, I'll let the doctor there handle it. I don't have privileges there."
Mrs. Dword: "I want you to tell them to give me another ER doctor. This one isn't giving me any of the good pain medicines I keep asking for."
Dr. Grumpy: "Good night."

Nice! Guess he was trying to use the "phone a friend" (insert another doc) here.
I'm sure he'll make lots of friends in that ED.
Better them than you!
I feel your pain.
;)
So do you want some of the d-word?
Di-lalalala? something like that? It's the only thing that works ... I am allergic to everything else and all.
Why, Why, Why, Di-Lauded?
Do all your patients have your pager number? I'm surprised you get any sleep at all.
When we get a prescription for pain meds, we never take them, we put them aside in case there is a real need. Good insurance for those times you just don't want to be in the ER at 11:30 PM trying to convince them you are not a junkie.
Naloxone perhaps?

Yeah, it takes me about two years to go through an RX of vicodin. I would use more of it if it actually got rid of headaches, but it doesn't. But it works great on occasional back pain. It doesn't get me high, though. I feel cheated.
