Or they read the notes & refuse to act on it. They think giving a lame excuse will suffice. No one should be left in severe pain & unable to sleep because the doc refused to do the right thing. They will rather have the patient suffer. Don't take the job if you won't do it well!
@nottmhospitals@NHSNotts the docs on call over the night are too lazy to read the notes from previous admissions and see what meds were given to the px. My last admission was Jan, the one before that was Nov/Dec & I was here for 3 weeks. Just to read the notes, they refuse to
@nottmhospitals@NHSNotts I am not a novice patient. I have lives with sickle cell for 43 years. These excuses that don't hold water should be stopped. Your registras will rather have a patient have a sleepless night in severe pain than do the right thing.
Opioids doesn't hold water. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks Nov/Dec and I was given the nights I needed it. So why can't they look at previous note and see I was given? I was even on higher dose of subcutaneous oxycodone then.

Since 9pm that the job was put out, they didn't prescribe it till past 12, then they gave the same excuse. Yesterday I didn't sleep until past 4 this morning. I do not have a line, I am not getting IV meds. I'm getting subcutaneous oxycodone so the excuse that because I'm on
They also don't bother to check previous notes from previous hospital stays. Why will I not be able to sleep for over 3 days now & they keep giving the same lane excuse?? To prescribe zoplicone 7.5mg is what they have refused to do. They keep giving only 3.75 but it doesn't work
@NHSNotts@nottmhospitals You really need to look into the care sickle cell patients receive at night from the doctors/registras on call. They do not care that we are in pain and sometimes can't sleep. A lot of times, they never come to check on the patient.
