I don't want to excuse the people who treated you poorly, but you have to understand, administration and DEA are constantly telling doctors that they prescribe too many narcotics, benzos etc. and encouraging medical professionals to judge patients as likely addicts / dealers and not give them anything. As a future doctor I think this is really stupid and have zero interest in being the arbiter of who gets to use drugs. I'm not sure if the attitude you've gotten at hospitals has to do with this but in my experience it usually is.
It wasn't me who was at the hospital, I was just a visitor, but 85% of the workers talked and treated me like I was a piece of trash and gave terrible attitude and 15% could really tell I was just trying to help and in a really terrible spot.
Just because some ****ing piece of trash thug is screaming out suck my dick lick my balls in the room next to me while being restrained, doesn't mean you can take that anger of dealing with that on patients just trying to help out. It blew my mind that the cops were more reasonable and friendly and treat people better than the ****ing ER Doctors. Insanity.
I'm a busto, I can't afford health insurance, so I just tough out my medical battles at home lol.
