Somebody is dropping the ball....................
what this person said. Years ago, up north, had surgery that kept me overnight. 1st nurse said "we'll want to keep your pain under control so don't hesitate hitting the call button!" Everything went downhill after this and my pain levels shot to 15 (on a scale of 1 to 10). I reported it afterwards but don't know how things went from there. Someone mentioned to me that "perhaps" someone on staff was pilfering the meds. Something to think about so yes...speak to your doctor as well as the director!!!!
