1/5 K L. 6 years ago on Google
I
am
traveling
for
23
days
and
have
a
pre-existing
neck
problem
with
bulging
discs
and
previous
herniation.
I,
unfortunately,
tweaked
my
neck
while
in
Prague,
before
a
sea
kayaking
adventure
in
Croatia,
and
aggravated
a
bulge,
to
the
point
of
possible
herniation.
In
extreme
pain
with
it
going
down
my
arm,
I
explained
what
happened
and
they
offer
me
a
shot
of
Motrin
in
the
buttock
that
will
last
12
hours.
When
I
tell
them
I
took
1/2
a
Vicodin
from
my
2011
prescription
from
the
last
herniation
(I
kept
the
leftover
pills
in
my
travel
first
aid
for
emergency
and
pulled
out
the
bottle
to
show
the
male
doctor),
and
explain
I
had
already
had
1200
MG
of
Advil,
making
sure
it's
not
dangerous
to
get
a
shot
of
Motrin
on
top
of
that,
the
male
doctor
accuses
me
of
drug
seeking.
He
then
offers
an
anti-inflammatory
patch
and
muscle
relaxers.
When
I
ask
if
I
can
continue
to
safely
take
Advil
with
those
he
accuses
me
over
and
over
of
wanting
oxycontin
and
seeking
drugs.
Clearly,
with
a
leftover
prescription
from
2011,
I
am
not
a
pain
killer
junkie.
He
puts
in
my
chart
notes
that
I
was
seeking
oxycontin.
I
was
confused
about
continued
use
of
Advil
with
the
patch
and
muscle
relaxer
and
he
gets
argumentative
and
rudely
asks
what
I
am
seeking...what
my
expectations
are.
His
ego
didnt
like
my
questions.
Because
I
didn't
accept
the
shot
of
Motrin,
I
had
to
sign
something
saying
I
denied
his
treatment,
and
they
forced
me
to
take
a
muscle
relaxer
in
front
of
them
if
I
wanted
to
go
home
with
some,
when
I
said
I
wanted
to
read
up
about
what
they
were
because
I
am
a
freak
about
taking
medications.
It
was
a
humiliating
and
mind
boggling
experience
when
I
was
already
on
the
verge
of
tears
in
pain
-
that
I
spent
more
time
convincing
the
doctor
I
wasn't
seeking
oxy
vs.
getting
help
with
my
neck
injury.
Then
he
didn't
even
examine
the
side
of
my
neck
and
arm
that
the
pain
was
radiating
down.
The
entire
15
minute
visit
cost
me
over
5,600
koruna
($240
USD).
He
said
I
should
be
using
acupuncture,
yet
couldn't
recommend
anyone,
telling
me
to
check
with
my
hotel.
When
I
said
I
was
staying
at
an
apartment,
he
shrugged
his
shoulders.
Doesn't
the
doctor
typically
make
referrals,
not
a
hotel?
When
sick,
injured,
or
in
pain
while
traveling
in
a
foreign
country,
you
feel
very
vulnerable,
which
can
exasperate
your
issue.
This
clinic
in
no
way
helps
to
treat
your
problem.
They
were
all
rude.
The
nurse
tried
to
show
a
tad
bit
of
compassion,
but
in
the
end
when
I
explained
I
thought
we
had
a
communication
issue,
she
said
that
was
doubtful
because
he's
been
treating
English
speaking
patients
for
20
years.
You
would
never
know.
DO
NOT
MAKE
AN
APPOINTMENT
HERE
if
you
can
help
it.
