My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: Louisiana
I have been a patient at a methadone clinic for 9yrs 8 mths without any infractions or incidents .I was dosing at 120 mgs on phase 7 recieving 13 takeout doses and 1 dose in clinic for years .in fact, i was one of the very first patient tested under this new law.Last year i was injured on a offshore barge being pinned underneath a 150lb iron wall unit .i sustained major injurie.broken nose requiring surgery ,fracture to roof of mouth,7 blown discs in lower back and cervical spine, multiple pinched nerves,vertigo,concussion,i have 5 different things wrong with my back. i told them that i wasnt taking the pain meds because i didnt want to fail urine screen and lose take home status. due i live 2 hours away ( this is the closest clinic) and i was extremely fearful of being sick on methadone . I was told by counsler and Doctor to take meds as i needed. it would not effect my status. well low and behold my first dirty urine screen they knocked down to once a week for 30 days, this happened every 3-4 months total 3 times i think .the injury to my back causes my legs to give out and i fall. I fell and shattered my heelbone this is a severely painful injury .Because i smoke and the severity of the breaks the dr didnt want to do surgery right away.I told er dr i was on methadone and they gave me a morphine shot and it did nothing cor the pain bc of the methadone, so he gave me a 40mg dose at 3am. when i fell it was out by my road and i wasnt able to go get my methadobe bc I was taken to hospital by amulance .I Live alone and no one knew i was there ubtil 10am after i had been discharged from ER 30 miles from home .i was unable to reach anyone(New years holiday) I was not drinking btw.let me add i have no insurance and live on workmans comp. 3 days later i had to go to charity hospital er It;a the only way to see Orthopedic Dr. they prescribed lortab 10 .i was in so much pain and on crutches . my daughter handled paperwork and got medications filled .when i went back to the clinic . I had to see counselor ,explain what happened,give paperwork from er visits,I when seen that i had been prescribed lortab at charity and the 40 mgs of methadone at the pay hospital She freaked out and said I shouldve brought a bottle of methadone back bc er dr gave me the 40mgs. Well when i came back 2 weeks later i lost status again when i returned 7 days later i was told i had to come back the next day as i was being placed on phase 2 coming twice a week until i was staffed by owner (drug addict) i came back the next day and i was discharged immediately with no dose and i had paid for 1 week the day before He gave me back 2 days money .can they do this ? Send someone addicted to the max dose out like this with nothing?I woas naive to methadone when i started . over the years i've seen them do adminstrative detox - coming daily dropping dose 5 mg per day until your off. methadone withdraw is horrifying and this is my biggest fear in life, i am scared to death and i dont know what to do. no dr was present nor was i allowed to even speak with the dr. i have no money til next comp check by then i will be too sick to do anything.. if your going to judge me please dont bother commenting.I'm beginning withdraw and expect by the end of the day to be in a total mess. Thank you for your help .
