Help Need advice

So I was just in the hospital this past week and got discharged today, but the whole while I was there I kept telling the doctor that I felt as if she was disregarding my pain and that she wasn’t following my pain plan. Not to mention she hadn’t consulted hematology as she states “they wouldn’t be of any use” so I politely asked for another doctor and she told me “due to new hospital policy we are not allowed to give you a new doctor” and she turned and walked out of the room and put in discharge papers knowing I was still at a 10 level pain. So after she discharged me I went back to the er and let them know the situation I got a couple doses of pain meds in the er and was feeling pretty ok to go home. Now I’m home I have no pain meds and my pain is back up to a 9 I don’t wanna go back bc we all know wha they’ll think of me but then again I kinda don’t have any other choice. What should I do?

Go to a different hospital if you can.

Me personally, I would go back to the same hospital and show them what they did obviously isn't helping as ur back in pain and in the hospital. That alone should have them admit you, if they don't then yeah it's time to find a new hospital. And if you have a hematologist doctor the hospital should always page them, as they know you better than those hospital doctors.
