May 2016

had cat scan (head) and chest xray...AND had xray of shoulder.

Xray of shoulder says bone broke...

The plan for a broken shoulder was to inject me with morphine, give me a very expensive sling and send me on my way, but I refused the morphine...I asked for pain pills

The bill was $3,000 for a sling and I had to pay for the pain pills!
