Ok, like maybe I am out of line here, but were you with him at the ER? And if so, why didnt;' you take the attending nurse aside before the doc got there and tell her what was up with your husband so they could give him some non-narcotic pain reliever? When my husband went into detox/rehab, I wrote a short but to-the-point letter to both his doctors (one his regular family physician and the other someone he had been trying to get 'scrips from citing his supposed IBS (NOT!!) . I told them what was up, and that I hoped it didn't reflect badly on me (one is also my physician, the other a friend). They both responded positively and sincerely.
