This is richie and he has now passed. This was one of his last videos of the Hospital not properly treating his pain. This could be you or a loved one DYING and they will refuse to treat your pain with opioids too. #savingustodeath

@TLChronicPain Thank you so very much! We all deserve a QOL and the very broken system keeps breaking us even more! I am home now where I actually feel much safer!

@KarinHiebert So sorry you’re in the hospital right now.💜 This broken system keeps breaking us and stealing our QOL. Hope they get their 💩 together. You deserve quality care. 🫂

1/8 🧵 The day I collapsed and couldn’t stand up anymore should’ve been the day everything moved fast. Instead it started a 7-month wait for spinal fusion. 7 months of a leaking disc dumping inflammatory chemicals on raw nerves. 7 months of irreversible damage that turned acute pain into lifelong agony. continue ⬇️

@TLChronicPain So sorry…I will share my stories (plural) as well. I too am now waiting on surgery. I’m currently in the hospital. Another 💩 show. Another experience I’ll NEVER forget! This is a very broken health care system, and we the patients suffer life long damage & we pay. No QOL!

2/8 I swore “never again.” Yet here I am — over a year into new, burning pain. Groin/legs on fire, inner knees screaming, thighs twitching Morse code, stomach & ribs in a vise so tight I can barely breathe. I can only shuffle to the bathroom and back. continue⬇️

@hsc_winnipeg I’m still waiting on a call back!?! Aren’t they done skimming my chart & speaking with the inept pain specialist who made my pain chronic from not treating the pain in the first place? Watch how I move if I don’t receive a call soon! Just watch…

@hsc_winnipeg am I ever going to receive a call as requested & promised on July 7th when I received a call from a nurse there asking if I wanted to speak with Dr Angela Mathieson, & I said NO, I’d only accept a call from the head of pain clinic? I was told that would be arranged.

@hsc_winnipeg when will I get that call from the head of the pain clinic? It’s been weeks now since my last conversation on July 7th where I expressed my NEED to speak with the godfather of pain, you know, the HEAD of pain clinic? Will he ever call? I’m waiting!

@hsc_winnipeg I get a call from the nurse on the 7th. Asking if I want to speak with her. I say NO! I will ONLY accept a call from the head of the pain clinic! She said she will arrange that. I’m sure they’re combing thru my charts & conversations. Good! Get yourself prepared for the call!

@hsc_winnipeg Why was this not in my chart? Why was I then put on a ‘wait list’ when I asked when my next appointment was? I’m a regular there or was! I fired her! Now I have an appointment? WHY?

@hsc_winnipeg Dr. Angela Mathieson was FIRED AGAIN! Why am I still getting calls about an upcoming appt with her? I called & let them know, yet I’m still being bothered by automated messages about an appt. STOP bothering me! She’s no longer my pain doctor!

@hsc_winnipeg Tell Dr. Angela Mathieson she was FIRED AGAIN! I’m STILL getting automated messages of an appointment on the 7th from being wait listed when she missed our 6 week follow up! If anyone calls me, it better be the HEAD of pain clinic & not HER!

@MzNevz Isn’t that just the truth! I fired her now twice! Left her practice once for a year, and that GP insisted I go back. I did, & I was treated horribly! Disgusted. 🤢

@KarinHiebert The Healthcare system… you have to do all the work with most to get anything done. 🤦🏽‍♀️

You get paid way too much NOT to care doc! An anesthesiologist & pain specialist. Leaving me bedridden for the last 6 + months. I’m now functioning after my colorectal surgeon took over managing the pain.

She (finally) after leaving me suffer for 8 + years leaving me bedridden for 6 months only gave me 1 mg of hydromorphone x 4 a day. Couldn’t function. At all. After 1 year of that she still would not increase the dose. I now need a colostomy. I suffer greatly, she didn’t care.

@drquinngyn Canada has a huge shortage of doctors and they are trying so hard to find physicians. Please consider Manitoba Canada We welcome you with open arms!

Never forget 🙏🇺🇸❤️

@GG_Regence @EM_RESUS I was put on percocets and was on them daily for years. When I finally had a hysterectomy due to having my period 3 weeks out of the month that’s when they found it. Extreme pain. They told me then what I had, & what was going on all those years.

What’s a diagnosis that can be very hard to make?

@EM_RESUS It took 4 years to be dx with Adrenal Insufficiency / Addison’s Disease. I was down to 85 lbs. In the ER far too often. I was taken off of IV pain meds & sent home when the ER doc told me I couldn’t be in pain because cortisol was low as was my BP I felt like I was dying. I was.

My husband had a massive heart attack yesterday evening. The paramedics worked on him for a long time here in our apartment. Again in the ambulance, they worked on him some more. We arrived at the hospital and they did everything they could. The love of my life is gone. I’m lost
