She gives me more morphine. I am now super itchy. I am also unbelievably pissed off. Just ready to brawl in recovery.

By this point my ex is in the room. And he can tell something is wrong. The nurse insists I just need more morphine. And gives me a shot

My ex demands someone else, anyone else come in. Now. The floor nurse comes in. I'm itchy & completely irrational. We have a problem

The floor nurse sees that I have had enough morphine to put a grown man to sleep. I am not asleep. I am offering to hit the first nurse

Replying to @Karnythia
She calls the doctor. Tells him to get his ass up here. Because his patient appears to be having a break with reality & it's his problem now

He comes in. He's condescending. He's also wearing a yellow & blue tie. I remember that tie because when he leans over my bed it touches me

Replying to @Karnythia
He's being a complete shit to me & the nurses. Very sexist, very dismissive. Somewhere in the middle of this my ex backs away. He knows

I look that man in the eye, grab his tie & snatch him down. I might have choked him a little with it. I was upset. I was itching & in pain
Mikki Kendall 11h
Replying to @Karnythia
He's demanding the nurses help him & they don't know him. They don't even see this death grip. Not until he admits there's an issue

Fun fact, there is a small portion of the population that lacks the receptors for certain opioids. We get itchy, we get aggressive.
Mikki Kendall
What we don't get is high. Or much pain relief from morphine & several derivatives. Some will put us to sleep. The floor nurse knew that

Replying to @Karnythia
All she needed him to do was prescribe something I had been given that worked. But he was too busy being an ass to listen.
Mikki Kendall 11h
Replying to @Karnythia
I apologized to the nurse I threatened. I didn't apologize to the doctor. He prescribed something else & fled. He never got that close again
Pfunk-the original 11h

I am one of those people. I feel you. I am even resistant to certain drugs used for axillary blocks. fun times.

Replying to @Karnythia
In my chart, there is a bright red sticker that says I should never have morphine. Because my brain chemistry reads it so wrong

A friend ended up brow beating an asshole resident into backing as far away as he could & holding a clipboard at crotch level
Julia 11h
Replying to @Karnythia
The resident had already pissed off the floor nurse & wanted to die

Replying to @Karnythia
I have an unusually high tolerance for pain. In part because even the pain meds that work mostly just put me to sleep. It still hurts

Oh, my dad is a morphine murderer, too! It's the most bizarre thing!

Replying to @Karnythia
But I would rather the pain than what felt like the green light to psychopath. I literally thought hurting people would make me feel better
