Frustration with the Medical Field

So, today was a pretty good day. The mig was up to about a level 5 by about 1ish, but I took a fioricet and it went away pretty quick, thankfully. Don't get very many of these kinds of days.

I'm dealing with alot of anger against the medical system, right now. I'm frustrated with the policies of hospitals where they take patients on a first come first seen basis, rather than on the level of intensity of their pain or the criticalness or urgency of their needs. Yesterday I even read about someone who had to wait almost 8 hours with a level 9 migraine to be seen. It's really disgusting that medics don't take migraines seriously. Sometimes I wish there was like a simulation program that all med students had to go through to find out what it feels like to have a migraine.

As a former nurse, I never read or was taught about migraines, the symptoms, the types, or the tremendous pain people who have them experience. I think that it should be incorporated into the curriculum. It's just so beyond comprehension, but I think that it's not considered serious, because it's not visible like a GSW would be.

And I'm pretty pissed off that when I have to go to ER, which believe me is an absolute last resort for me, and you'll see why in a minute, I'm treated like I'm a drug addict just looking for her next fix. It's bullshit! For me to go to the hospital, I have to be at the point of almost passing out from the pain. Firstly, I have to go down this horrendous dirt road with potholes in it for about an 1/8th of a mile. It's horrendous and by the end of this road, I'm totally in tears. Then, I have to drive an hour to get to the hospital. (We live in the sticks, can you tell?) Why would anyone in their right minds think that I'm going to that length just to get a fix? I mean, I've heard there are drug dealers on almost any corner. Don't think I've met any of them, but probably if I was looking I could find one closer than an hour away! lol Oy Vey!!

Well, guess that's it for now. Feels good to get some of that stuff off my chest and outta me head.

Oh, good song for migraneurs. The Ramone's, "I Wanna Be Sedated". lmao!
