Not all those needing treatment are addicts
Published 10:04am Thursday, July 2, 2009I read the article recently about the drug abuse being done by using the ambulance service in this area but should everyone be treated as an addict?
I went to Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital Sunday night and was treated as if I was there to misuse the system, for a drug fix.
I recently had surgery and I am still having complications and was in pain. I was asked whose pain killers have I been taking. I feel that the doctor should have seen that I was not an abuser.
Yes there was medicine in my system but I have been on medicine since April but I am still having problems. I am not looking for a fix.
I do know there is a serious drug problem in this area but not everyone is an addict.
