I have Kidney Stones occasionally.
I typically show 4 to 5 of the common drug seeking characteristics when entering a hospital. Seeking drugs? Damn right I am! Time - surprisingly it is usually around 10pm to midnight. I usually don't sit down in the waiting room, but pace slowly. While it is not intentional, I draw attention to myself. I am very quickly moved to the front of the queue as I elicit sympathy from the surrounding medical personnel. Demerol please. I have kidney stones. Sharp cutting pain here. I've had kidney stones before. The pain is familiar. Forget the CAT scan I'm not interested. What's it gong to tell me that I don't already know. (Ultrasound is ok.)

Also lucky you haven't gotten a doctor who doesn't believe in painkillers and then gone to a different doctor -- that's a crime. Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
As far as seizing our assets I thought we had already agreed to give you all our water, oil, minerals... Did we miss something? I'm sure we can fix that in no time. We are for Justice and Mercy, and Truth and Peace, and true Freedom. Edward Burroughs 1659
