from pain killers and suboxone. Was in terrible pain and literally trying to bite himself to transfer the pain from his legs to his hand. Wanted to go to the hospital for help. His doctor's phone message says to call 911 in case of an emergency when office is closed. So we called an ambulance to take him to the ER. Well, they wouldn't do anything for him because it was a detox issue. They wouldn't give him anything like a tranquilizer or antidepressant to try to help calm him down. They just gave him a list of resources and sent him home after 4 hours of him go through mood swings and pain. His mood swings had him calling the nurse a B*tch and pulling off his monitor leads etc. Why can't ERs be equipped to help those with dual diagnosis and those who did the stupid thing and tried to detox on their own! Thanks for "listening" to me vent.
