I had back surgery 2-24-06 and I told them I could not take morphine due to it making me out of my head and locking my guts up. They gave me duramorph intracath in the spinal column...I was out of it for 3-4 days and developed an ileus. The "nurse" who was taking care of me on nights got tired of me pulling at my NG and IV's and thought he would "snow me" with the 50-100MG IM demerol the surgeon ordered post-op....At that time the hospital had NO protocols for holding post-op narcs. Would you consider this negligence or malpractice?
