Untreated Pain & Dr. Ignores Diagnosis

I am still in the hospital and my pain is ten times worse.

I've been asking to have my pain reevaluated by a pain specialist or house doctor for over 24 hours and today what I'm given didn't touch the pain at all.

Someone called Dr. Skinner again, the same doctor who would only give Toradol and who said I didn't need a surgery or D&C, when she admitted she hadn't even bothered to read the radiology records or review them.

My pain level has at least doubled and I am only able to write after going into my own bag and adding two Percocet to what they already gave me.

I took what they gave me, plus the Toradol which did nothing, and then 2 percocet, and I thought I'd be a little better after taking the additional Percocet but I don't feel much relief at all. Enough to drag my laptop over and write this, but I am in severe pain. I have very severe cramping and no one has even looked at my back problem yet, and it is getting worse as well, as is the numbness in my leg.

I found out the antibiotic she, Skinner put me on, is Doxycycline and I haven't looked it up yet. I don't know what it's used for.

I've asked for another doctor besides Skinner because she not only violated HIPPA and lied about it, when other nurses overheard her discussing my healthcare with my boyfriend in the next room, and because I feel she puts my life and health at risk by making decisions about whether I need surgery or not without looking at all records and evidence. Especially when the evidence and radiology doctors have said, this last time, once again, that I have some serious issue going on and that the miscarriage is NOT complete and retained products are visible on the sonogram.

I don't know why the pain is so bad and why it's increasing, but I've never made up pain or exaggerated it. Anytime I've said I have abnormal pain, I've been able to get documentation to back me up, which shows something is wrong with my body.

I am in serious pain and there is no reason not to increase pain medications, especially when all this last stuff didn't work at all, and call in a pain specialist.

And I'm not "choosing" my doctor, I'm just asking for someone else, based on unprofessionalism by Skinner. That's not being picky or difficult--it's looking out for my own health so I don't die or become more ill because someone isn't listening to me and is choosing, for whatever reason, to ignore the evidence.

I didn't eat anything this morning because I was too sick and weak and nauseous from the pain to feel like eating.
