Hello, on Friday I had surgery. I got a tubal ligation done. Everything was going smoothly the staff was nice the anesthesiologist was amazing it was smooth sailing up until I was woken up and given a new nurse.

Upon waking up I was in excruciating pain. It felt like I was being stabbed. I started crying and asking the nurse if I could have something for the pain. I was immediately told no that I had enough and that I needed to get up and walk. The nurse then forced me out of bed and had me walk. I was still crying in extreme pain. She angrily brought me back to the bed because I wouldn’t stop crying still refusing me pain medication. She refused to give me any medication until my anesthesiologist came into the room and told her give me some stating that I probably was in pain that I am a natural red head and we need higher dosages of anesthesia along with pain meds. After him telling her to give me some she did and in the process of that I asked her if I could please have my phone so I could call my partner. I was stressed and in pain. (I have had nurses do this for me in the past with no issue) she told me no I wasn’t allowed to talk to him that my crying was ridiculous and I would scare him. Still crying from the pain she proceeded to tel me that she herself has had a tubal done and it didn’t hurt like this and she has no idea why I am acting the way that I am. Still crying from the pain and being yelled at from her she proceeded to tell me that she was about to send me to the er and let me sit there by myself for the next four hours since I’m apparently In so much pain and she’s done giving me options. I then asked her if she could please contact my partner that all I wanted was my partner which she responded with I don’t know what wanting your partner means youre fine. She refused to contact my partner in anyway until the anesthesiologist came back into the room and told her to contact him for me because I obviously wanted him. As I waited for my partner to show up still crying she told multiple times that I needed to stop crying, yelled at me for apologizing to her for crying and being in pain and then when he finally did arrive I was walked not given a wheel chair or anything walked out to him while she told me to knock off my crying once more that he didn’t need to see me acting like that. When she brought me to his truck she then switched her attitude in front of him began rubbing my back and telling him she’s just a little upset from waking up it’s alright.

Am I overreacting or was I treated terrible??
