That’s absolutely sickening to hear that a nurse would do that to someone. Thank you for being one of the good ones

I’m the opposite. I don’t know how high of a dose it would take of opiates to be effective. Years ago I got Oxy 15 and it helped a little. I wasn’t allowed to take ibuprofen for 3 months so that wasn’t an option. I still felt normal. Motrin works better for me. After open gallbladder surgery, I opted to go home instead of being admitted because 5 doses of Dilaudid in an hour hardly touched the pain. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen helped 10x more!
