Marquette General Hospital: "I recently had the absolute worst experience of my life at Marquette General Hospital. I suffer from several chronic pain conditions which prevent me from returning to my $200,000+ bonus salaried lawyer job so now I make less than 1/7 of that salary. The point is, I would love to return to work for a lot of reasons other than money but that is a glaring reason.
Nevertheless, in my encounter at MGH, I was called a liar, that I wasn't in pain, denied pain medication, had psychiatric services called on me, and eventually was arrested for trespass because I wanted some pain medication, discharge papers and a plan discussed with me. I was forced to stay in jail where I couldn't move and had to piss and poop on myself because I couldn't move and police officers discussed putting me on a psych hold." - Samantha
