Was recently admitted for menengitis. Before being discharged I started to get a spinal headache from the spinal tap. I was at a level 10 pain and was told to drink caffeine and water. I suggested a blood patch and got told my anxiety was out of control and the doctor wanted to give me Ativan and morphine. I chose to leave. After being in severe pain for over 24 hours, I went to another hospital and was given a blood patch under fluoroscopy. In and out in 3 hours and I feel amazing! This is not the 1st horrible experience I ve had at Madigan sadly.
