My female friend had a MRSA infection that ended with her going septic (she’s okay now) that started with severe pain in her jaw and she was labeled as “drug seeking” until her jaw literally started deteriorating and ended up needing facial reconstruction surgery and iv antibiotics. To top it all off, the “drug seeking” is still on her chart so now every time she sees a new dr she has to convince them she’s not. Absolute BS

Out of curiosity, how did she find out they marked her as drug seeking?
