I have had a severe chronic migraine condition for 10 years now. I've had to call EMS about 5 times over the course of those 10 years because I was blacking out from the pain. Every single time I was treated with respect because I was 100% honest with them about past prescription pain pill addiction which I've been in recovery for now 6 years. I was in so much pain I just wanted to literally be knocked unconscious and refused any type of narcotic offered to me. They were understanding and I didn't feel judged for my past mistakes which felt great. And even though they knew I was uninsured they still did everything they could to help me and find out if there was an underlying reason for such intense migraines. Now if I need to go they know me and still treat me like a decent human being and even ask me what type of migraine medicine I'd like and I was finally able to afford a prescription through a discount service n I don't have to go in unless it's truly necessary. I know not everyone has this type of experience, I've witnessed it myself but for me it's been nothing but positive
