The beginning of my experience was as great as any...

The beginning of my experience was as great as any trip to the hospital can be. I went to the ER due to debilitating pain in my legs and lower back and they saw me not even five minutes after I arrived. The doctors then set me up with pain meds and an IV. My trip took a turn after I was given a smaller dose of pain meds to see how I would feel and if it would be enough. It wasn t. I took a short nap (the first bit of actual sleep I ve had in 3 days due to the pain). During that time I was discharged without knowing. I woke up still in pain and asked the nurse if the doctor can give me the other half of my dose of pain medication just to hear her say that I have been discharged and she ll ask the doctor. About half an hour later after asking my sister to call any nurse because I was in pain. They then sent in another nurse that took out my IV and took my blood pressure and said that I was good to go. But I was not good to go. I was still in pain. I stayed laying down to gather my strength to make the trek out the hospital when a security guard came in to usher me and my sister out. Upon noticing that it was difficult for me to move he offered to get me a wheel chair and wheel me out. Despite the kindness of the security guard my overall exit and brush off by the hospital rubbed me the wrong way especially since I went there seeking assistance and help for my pain.
