I have had some serious health issues in the past while.I have a standing script with my doctor.I cannot take NSAIDS so her gives me Tylenol 2's.I only take them when I REALLY need them.
A couple of weeks ago I end up in ER because of chest pain, he gives me Tylenol 3's and send me home.
I told my doctor that this happened and that I was coughing really hard, he gave m ativan, paxil and cough syrup. Fine, off I go.
Today I find out that I have 4 teeth that need root canals. The infection is leaking into my throat, she gives me Tylenol 3's and antibiotics. My friend said not that I was in rough shape BUT that I was wrong to need so many drugs and it was unlawful? WHAT???
I DID tell each doctor the facts am I right or wrong?
