I think that the first thing they'd do is prescribe something a little stronger to see if that would control the pain before they did a direct admit. They could probably do a direct admit but I think typically that involves a bit more paperwork from the experience that I have had in being directly admitted during business hours. But that was during pregnancy. This is different obviously.
What did you do to your back? And what other methods are you using to attempt to control the pain aside from pain medication? What pain medication was prescribed and in what dosage?Will or can an ';on-call'; physician do a direct-admit for pain control?
An on-call doctor can do an admission for pain control, yet it probably is a good idea to call your doctor first. If he isn't on-call, go on into the emergency room and they can get you admitted from there.
