Northern Westchester Hospital: "I'm a chronic pain sufferer I had a herniated disc about 15 years ago the pain from that has reoccurred so badly that there have been times I've pissed in my bed I've been to multiple pain specialist who were of varying amounts of help but any time is had gotten extremely bad and I've gone to northern Westchester's er they have treated me like a drug seeker even if I just ask for help finding out why it still hurts after the surgery. however today topped it off first the person they sent to talk to me lied right off the bat and said they dont give pain killers that i never even brought up then left me sitting in the room for more then half an hour when I told sitting, stand or laying down cause my pain to intensify i bet back in their break room the have a tally board for all the people they've driven to suicide by treating them like this. I might be one more of those if i didn't want to give then the satisfaction (also for those who care a herniated disc is when the soft part between your spine bones deflates and start crushing in my case the nerve for my left leg to death. I've heard it compared to like a surprise root canal with no antithesis.)
do not trust these sadists." - charles
