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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Oh man. This is me with all drugs in the Valium category. Apparently, I bit & punched the paramedic who gave it to me. I feel you.

Oh god. That's kind of amazing.

Like your reaction, it's not that uncommon to have a rage reaction to Valium. But that didn't stop them from filling my IV with it.

They kept trying to calm me with Valium, and I just got increasingly furious and bitey. It sounds like yours was very similar.

It was so weird because I kept saying it wasn't working & I was clearly getting combative. And yet? Kept giving it to me

Batshit. The only reason they took me off was that my mom remembered my grandfather had been allergic - they thought I was just psychotic.

In my case the 2nd nurse had seen it before but she needed the doc to write an order for other meds.
