Nurses are the biggest pain in the ass in the whole of medicine- They think they know it all and don't. I'd ask to speak to the nursing supervisor, and I don't know what state you are in but here in Louisiana we can formally complain to Medicaid about discriminatory treatment. The hospital or clinic involved can get its ass kicked with a walloping fine, especially if Medicaid is being milked by extra visits or unnessasary ER visits. And you need to call case management if you have it, because it's their job to make sure this doesn't happen to you. Ask this nurse if she's willing to risk legal action over Medicaid discrimination and negligence. Ask her if she'd let a diabetic go without insulin, because you need your meds as much as any other person with any severe chronic illness. Letting you fall off your meds is at least negligent and you need to bitch to management. Sudden med withdrawal is dangerous.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you can't squeak case management is supposed to do it for you.
It's hard to be sick and stand up for yourself, it takes a lot of energy. But you deserve better treatment.

Nose totally out of joint now,

Miss Liz
