Pain killers addiction?
Two years ago I had a bike accident, I had suffered from a broken leg and fracture ankle. I was in the hospital for 1 month with a broken leg waiting for surgery. Now I have a pain killer addiction and I think the hospital is the blame for it. The hospital was feeding to my body, one shot of demerol every four hours and two percocets every four hours also. So every two hours I would get pain medication. Now Im really addicted to them and I think the hospital is the blame for it. Does anyone think I can sue the hospital for the suffering that Im going through? I really feel like they didnt not give me so many, if I would of known that they will get me addicted, I would of ask them not to give me all those drugs in a short period of time.ThanksI really feel that they went over the dosage, I didnt know nothing about pain killers, if I would of known. I would of just taken the pills every 6 hours or so. I really feel that I was given more then what I needed.
