Asked on Oct 06th, 2017 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
I went to the hospital yesterday Bc I was throwing up blood and server abdomen pain . When I came in the nurse was very rude and was disrespectful towards me . They gave me medication that made me throw up more , and they refused to give me anything for my pain . They gave me chest pain medication for someone that was way older then me . How I found that out is my nurse was talking to another employee out side the door . I had a ct scan which the doctor said would take about 45 mins to an hour before he would be able to read them. No even 15 mins later I was rushed out the door so that my nurse could go home . Am I allowed to sue them for that ?

As this has the backdrop of complaints about "giving you something for your pain" in the ER, before ANYTHING is done you will need to hire a lawyer at some expense to review medical records and history to eliminate any "drug seeking behavior" issue. The nature of the post and the complained of response by the nursing staff suggest that this may be the driving force behind the "disrespect" issue and need to be confirmed or eliminated before you make a big mess of things feeding into that issue.
