The hospital-staff almost killed me

Last week i thought i had a flu.
I felt weak and my body temperature was high.
I was wrong, it wasn't the flu.
An infection was spreading throughout my Gullbladder, pancreas and liver.
Sunday i started having unimaginable pain in my lower abdomen and it got so bad that i started screaming uncontrollably.
My organs were digesting themselves due to my pancreas being infected.
I called an ambulance and the drivers rolled their eyes at me and told me to quiet down.
The doctor at the hospital yelled at me because she "had a rough night and couldn't deal with this"
None of them took me seriously.
2 hours after the pain started the doctor returned.
She was suddenly very worried and immediately admitted me to the Intensive Care Unit.
I received a plethora of the worlds strongest opioid painkillers and they still couldnt quite eliminate the pain.
No one there told me what was going on, only that my situation was critical and that there is a chance that i might not survive it.
When i began to ask questions about my status or how the situation was developing they started giving me very large amounts of sedatives. This got to the point where i was no longer able to control my extremities, speak or even move my eyes under my own free will, while still being conscious enough to notice everything around me.
They constantly prodded me, undressed and dressed me again and carted me to take tests without anyone ever talking to me.
I was put in a CT-Scan with no one speaking a single word to me from the moment they picked me up to the time i was returned to the ICU.
The results were, as usual, not disclosed to me at any point.
Tuesday they upped the dose to a level where my breathing was growing more and more shallow and i was afraid of dying because of an overdose.
I managed to slowly edge myself off of my bed, ripping the needle out of my hand.
The drip with the medication in it emptied itself and after i was lifted back on my bed it was empty and they didn't connect me to it again, so i had a chance to get control over my body back.
When i could walk and speak again i invoked my right to chose my physician and took away their right to treat me and then i left.
This was two days ago.
I still have no idea how extensive the damage to my organs actually is or what really happened to me, but i know that these people who i trusted to help me when i was at my weakest had me live through the worst abuse of my entire life.
In about one hour i will go see my regular doctor who is also a specialist in internal medicine to find this out.
This was the worst week of my life and i am still deeply traumatized by what i had to live through.

If the hospital is bad, and I've seen some bad ones, I would get well first, then get opinions from a couple physicians before pursuing any legal actions. everything else aside, i hope you get it figured out and get to feeling better

Canada's shit (even though I do not live there my fiancee does) one day she got admitted to Burnaby general with very severe /adominal pain (later diagnosed as endometriosis) she was only seen in the ER for 2 hours then released with little more than morphine pills currently she got accepted on disability cause she had to quit her job which puts a wrench in things since she can't sponcer me now after marriage as a family member (i'm stuck in a one year lease but may move to WA after my lease expires)

Thats really tough.
I am really sorry that happened to her. She did not deserve it.
 
it's also stressful on me cause that condition will eventually cause infertility via removal of the reproductive system and as you guessed we wanted kids

Is it not still a possibility to freeze an unfertilized egg?

Wow, yeah... i know moneytroubles, too.
I moved to Bavaria for two months seeking to further educate myself, but that was a bust.
I came back home and i was lucky, i got my Job back, but i got ill after just one night-shift and since i am on 6 month probationary period again now, i really can't afford to be sick for 4 weeks and then go into physical rehabilitation, so i just keep on working.

I was at the doctors office just now.
He said that the results from my bloodtest were in and that they looked better.
He did an Ultrasound and said i have stones in my Gallbladder, but i already knew that.
My Boss called and i picked up.
This made him so furious that he stormed out of the room.
I got dressed and he came back in.
He yelled at me and did not care that it was my boss.

Anyway... i honestly think i am going to stop caring now and that i am just not going to get any more treatment.
He apparently can't help me and i don't want to go to any more hospitals.
So thats that.
