Had a druggie come into a CA county hospital where I once worked. She managed to parley a minor cat bite on her finger into a 4-5 week stay, with 100mg Demerol every 4 hours...at public expense, naturally.
She was also supposed to be getting antibiotics, but thanks to Patient Rights, those she refused.
When the Residents changed their service rotation, her new primary finally put an end to her charade.
Glad someone put their foot down finally, anyway.
