We had the opposite. They tried on multiple occasions to evict my wife after a C section while she was in an incredible amount of pain.
They kept giving her an oxy in the morning, then after it set in, asking her to rate her pain level, and recording it. Which is backwards.
Then they blamed her for not asking for more pain meds, which she had.
Then they told her to just ask for more pain meds, which we did.
Then the nurse told her that shes not allowed to have any more pain meds. At which point I went full Karen, got our stay extended by 2 nights.
Apparently the midwives expected her to be walking up and down the corridor, which was not a requirement and not part of the treatment, just to demonstrate her pain levels.
Oh god, I hate nurses you make you prove your pain level.
When I was a university student, my tonsils suddenly swelled up so much that I was unable to speak and I was having difficulty just breathing.
I went to the university urgent care, and the nurse showed me a pain scale and asked me what my pain level was. I pointed at the '7', and she told me I needed to actually say the number to her. I kept trying (it was extremely painful to try, more like a 9!) but I physically could not make the sound — which just pissed her off even more. At long last, she got so frustrated that she stormed out and finally got the doctor.
When the doctor examined me, he told me that I had the biggest tonsils he had ever seen in his career.
He diagnosed me with mono and put me on steroid treatment, and my tonsils were back to normal by that evening.
