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

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

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

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.

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
Mikki Kendall
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.

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

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

Replying to @Karnythia
The resident had already pissed off the floor nurse & wanted to die

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!
Mikki Kendall 11h
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
Mikki Kendall 11h
Replying to @Karnythia
Now, aren't you glad you know not to ever let anyone give me morphine? It turns me into a super villain & no one needs that in their life.

I really can be a very sweet girl. The floor nurse & I got along fine after that. The baby nurse was always a little skittish.
