[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 334869, member: 84"] *Strong hint* I never tell an ER doctor about a mental illness diagnosis unless it is appropriate for the situation. Odds are if they're worth a grain of salt they'll figure it out as soon as you tell them the medications. No need to bring it up. And I've found in my looooong experience that mentioning mental illness when it has nothing to do with the reason you are being seen often back fires and docs as well as staff will cop and attitude and stop listening to the patient. It should not be that way. It's not supposed to be that way, but even health care workers are human. Glad the ER doctor didn't pull that on you when you mentioned who his psychiatrist was. There are true professionals out there, but it's not worth the risk in my opinion. Poor husband should not be having to suffer with such a high pain level. I hope they can find a long term solution that works for him soon. Hugs [/QUOTE]
