My partner Jason ans I were on a transport for a gentleman that was complaining if abd pain. As I know the history of this man I know that he has a problem with pain killers(of the narcotic brand.)

Well one early morning around 0300 he called 911 for his pain. Once we arrived on scene we found him rolling on the floor in what he described as the worse pain he had ever felt. We also found numerous empty drug bottles that had JUST been filled. As it didn't take much for us to get him into our truck, we headed to the hospital. Once we got going down the road I had already decided that he would have to wait until we got to the hospital. He was not getting anything from me. Like I said before he put on a pretty good show until he found out he would have to wait. At that point he actually put his head back and tried to go to sleep. At that point I let it go. That was the easiest 45 minute transport I have had in awhile.
