The Bed Transfer

They wheel me up to my room and tell me they are going to move me to the hospital bed. Up to this point, I haven't been given any pain medication whatsoever. No even a stinking asprin or Tylenol. And I've been in the hospital for over 12 hours with a hip fracture. So I ask them to give me something cause I have a feeling that it is going to hurt like hell when they move me onto the hospital room bed. They telll me "It won't hurt", and call in a bunch of nurses and staff, at least four or five people, and try to place some kind of rolling board on my back. They ask me to turn on my side, which is extremely painful because of the hip frature. I let out several screams as I lay on my side and they put the board behind my back. They straighten me out and and then they pull me onto the bed. Pains shoots through my body as I let fly more screams mixed in with some good curse words. They hastily leave the room for me to deal with the pain alone.
