How it feels as an Aussie...

I literally had the worst pain of my life a few weeks ago, I got sunburned on about 30% of my body. I later applied some cream I think I was allergic to. I started screaming in agony and needed to go to the hospital. I was waiting for two fucking hours and all they gave me were two paracetamol pills.

I had to beg a nurse to give me SOMETHING for the pain. She gave me ONE tiny oxycodone pill.

It did nothing so I thrashed about for what felt like a half hour, screaming my head off, before they came back to inject me with something.

At this point I'm thinking "FINALLY, THE CALVARY HAS ARRIVED! MORPHIIIINNNNEEE!"

Nope. It was a sedative to stop me hyperventilating and screaming.

My medical record is squeaky clean, it should've been obvious that even if I was there to get high, I was heavily burned and in need of pain relief.

Fucking nanny state. If I want to do morphine then give me morphine for fuck sake. It's not abuse if I legitimately need it.
