So my guy asking for the dilaudid, we picked him up at approx 0700, still on hospital property, all of 50 ft from the ambulance bay, can see the ER doors, still wearing his armband from said hospital from earlier (in his words, they just "kicked him out"), Chief wastotal body pain 10/10, but more specifically back pain. All his pain meds were stolen from him when he got jumped leaving County-USC hospital...His answer to what his medical history was "what don't I got?" Certainly nothing like sickle cell came up tho. And don't you dare touch him to help him get into the gurney (or hospital bed) without him cussing us loudly and it didn't matter that he wanted to take 20 min to move into the gurney, because we were "on his time".
Oh and the best part is that a little less than 24 hours later when we walked back into that same hospital at 0530 we found our other crew from our station with him on their gurney, apparently he had "been kicked out again" and was found passed out (sleeping) just in front of the ambulance bay (again) which was apparently proof he really needs the narcotics because he's clearly in 10/10 pain because "sleep is a physiological response to pain" so the fact that he doesn't want to wake up to move off their Guernsey into a hospital wheelchair is proof he needs the narcs .... yeah.....
