On 10/24 I was walking and hit by a car. I was unconscious and they brought me to jacoby. they intubated me and kept in a medical coma for two days. Prior to this I have been on very strong pain meds for a botched surgery in 2006, when I awoke from my med. induced coma...I was in full withdrawal. My sisters who flew from all over the country to be there for me...were begging the doctors to gave me my reg. dose. They didn't believe me. My sister had to go back to my house and pick up my prescription. When they saw it was legit they stated that the pharmacy would not dole out that much pain meds. and tried to give me methadone instead. the whole thing is insane. It was one of the worst if not the worst experience of my life. they treated me like a drug addict. Even though my pain meds were written by a certified pain specialist since 2008. Then to add insult to injury they wanted to keep me for observation but not give me my meds...that I now had in my possession. I signed out against medical advice and they wrote on my discharge papers that I was an opiate user/abuser. Even though I have been treated by a pain spec. for 6 years. That had nothing to do with them. Beware... Because of what they wrote I was unable to get any help from any other hospital. I will be suing. Stay clear of this hospital for anything... The staff don't care about anything...its just a job. The nurses were making outright rude comments about in front of my family. It was the worst nightmare I have ever experienced.
