My ex demands someone else, anyone else come in. Now. The floor nurse comes in. I'm itchy & completely irrational. We have a problem pic.twitter.com/VV9Z5MHoiM

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 pic.twitter.com/JAdg0kwhYJ

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 pic.twitter.com/JEoYyVXhVV

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 pic.twitter.com/bx7xo9hqVe

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 pic.twitter.com/iAkJTDeVTy

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 pic.twitter.com/b12oTfSlbZ

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 pic.twitter.com/ZMcLIJXBHu

Fun fact, there is a small portion of the population that lacks the receptors for certain opioids. We get itchy, we get aggressive. pic.twitter.com/slQmTP74IZ

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 pic.twitter.com/PZLd5skFLF

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. pic.twitter.com/eCvnAMbqFo
