I was in absolute agony! I was barely given anything when I got discharged to go home. I eventually had to get a refill on the pain medicine that took me a day to get. The refill still hasn’t been filled FROM THE DOCTOR and it’s been 5 days! I’m sure the problem is from this lawsuit! DON’T THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER!
