It happens.

During my most recent kidney stone attack (my third one), I was screaming all the way to the hospital, I yelled at my brother-in-law to go through every red light, and as soon as I got into the emergency room, I started screaming for morphine. I swear, if I couldn't get painkillers, and if I had a gun, I would have shot myself.

Fast forward. Knowing that I will probably have another attack, I asked my doctor for a prescription for oxycodone, to take care of the pain while on the way to the nearest hospital emergency room. He gave me a few pills for home, and a few to put in my locker at work.
