I went into an ER with sereve back, neck and chest pain. I have chronic back pain, but my family wanted to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack. In the triage they noted my allergies to, penicillin, morphine, codeine, anaprox, percodan. I was not seen by a DR, but by a P.A., he ordered pain med and the nurse was about to give me an injection when my daughter and I both asked what he precribed..... morphine. We shouted no, he came in apologized, gave me something else. I was not having a heart attack, just the back, spine pain.
He sent me home with prescription for Vicodin for pain. NO! can't take that either. He apologized again, later changed it to Naproxen. NO! can't take that either. We expressed our concerns to the nurse she said she would pass it on.
