Worst experience I have ever had at a hospital. I couldn't walk or sit because of bulging disc in my back. Arrived at the emergency room laying in the back of a vehicle. They offered me a wheelchair. I told them I could not sit or stand without extreme pain could I get a stretcher. They said no. Since sitting hurt worse than standing I forced myself to walk to the waiting room and laid on the floor. When they got to me I told them again I can't walk or sit without extreme pain. They offered a wheelchair or nothing. I walk toward the exam rooms and before I can get there I am literally screaming. They yell at me to come on. I barely made it to the exam room. To make a long story short - they basically accused me of being there to get pain pills. I showed them the mri I brought with me. That proved I wasn't lying. They were still rude and condescending. I couldn't stand up for the test they wanted to run. They told me I had a low pain tolerance and they were going to give me a "big boy" shot. They had no doctor there who could help me. They sent me home. I had to walk out to my wife's car. By the time I got to it I was hurting so bad I couldn't get in. She had to drag me in it. I just thought I hurt before I went there. For a week after I was in constant extreme pain.
