My gf broke her foot about 1.5 years ago in the winter. When we went to the ER they refused to give her pain meds. She had been in pain all day, being basically too stubborn to admit she had broke her foot (she had kicked her car tire in anger and fractured a tiny bone deep in her foot) and when we finally took the trip to the ER they treated us like common crack addicts. After waiting several hours in the waiting room they finally saw her. She had been crying for most of the visit because she was in pretty intense pain from attempting to work and do daily routine things all day with a broken foot. When the nurses finally saw her, not doctor/s mind you, they said immediately "we dont give out narcotics for sprained ankles". She described the amount of shame she felt in that moment to me later. It was like her foot and ankle were on fire and the only person with a bucket of water looked her in the eye with disgust and told her she wasnt good enough for it.

They did the bare minimum, they took her xray and set her up in a bed and let her sit there in pain for the next couple of hours until a very nice young doctor came up to us.

"So, it looks like your foot is pretty broken". She said it with so much guilt in her voice it was incredible. "We're going to get immediately on some pain killers and give you a prescription. Well hold you here until morning and then fit you for a cast".

The amount of judgment we both felt at that visit is only outweighed by the rage and anger at how unprofessional they were. Opioids are a problem in our city. There has been an epidemic of OD's involving them so i understand the hesitancy to prescribe but how dare you pre-judge us to be some addicts looking for a fix before even knowing what the problem was.

To this day I can still hear the tone of voice when the nurse said "...for sprained ankles".

You don't look for minerals on top of the bed that's just silly
