I currently had 3 vertebrae fuced or 3 level cage surgery. 8 hr. Brutal surgery!! Before surgery i listed all medication that i am allergic to wich is only ativan. After surgery i was in the worst pain i could imagine!!! They only gave me 1mg dilaudid every 3 hours. It helped for 1 hr then i was screaming for 2 hrs until i got more. The dr.s was wondering why i was having such a bad time and i said i need more pain med so then they thought i was a alcoholic and going through withdrawals! I do not drink! So it came down to that they were secretly giving me ativan to calm me down. So what everyone says on the 4th night i pulled all the tubes n iv out and went through the floor spraying blood knocking over the tv's pushing the nurses down. I guess alot of cops came and got me under control. I woke up n the morning not remembering anything with bruises down my back n left side. Then i said u people have been giving me ativan foresure, they said yes. I went and got xrays n ct scan and nothing looked broke. The dr.s admitted they were wrong and should of gave me more pain med. Ive been home for 2 wks and doing excellent im walking, dishes and going to stores and easy things. I only have pain in lower back mostly hip bones but not bad. I can sit now my leg, groin, but dont hurt anymore. Im 46 so i had to take the chance of surgery i could hardly do anything. I just needed to go over my meds and make sure i was going to be taken care of way better while i was in hospital!!

    5 months later I'm not doing good, the last 3 days I finaly scammed some report. So if you read my first letter you saw the 3rd night I od'd on ativan n heard little stories about what happened but not much. So the hospital report says I got a fever n was sick, no police! The police report on on a non legal form said 23 cars we're dispacted they stayed 4 he's but I was just sleeping. When I woke up solid bruised on my left side, I didn't know why? I just got my ct scan that says they punchered something inside my left stomach?? I looked up the "word" for it and it usually if from a car death hiting the steering wheel over 50mph. I'm going to operate on knee soon so maybe my back will get better? Hips stopped hurting but back n spine, groin, leg but not as bad as was. I'm up to 14 judgments just on the hospital already. Still don't c the medical or intake report? The D A can figure out the crooked mlaml cops. Did I mention a nurse stole 2grand cash from my room that night that was for my deductible. They thought I was leaving getting Baker acted. Dumb ass hospital.
