NGL as a white guy I just have to ask nicely for the good drugs and they give me opioides, granted it’s for kidney stones and it’s the most pain I’ve ever experienced, but honestly it sounds better than whatever OP was going through.
I do think I present with classic pain symptoms, I litterally can’t form sentences, which might help.

Kidney stones are known as one of the most painful things, and knowing the problem means the pain is no longer important for diagnosis.

True, however the first time they gave me fentanyl before they did a CT scan, they had figured it was stones but only had my pain to go off, so I suspect I got better treatment than if i’d been an equally erratic POC or woman, but hope I’m wrong and they’d give everyone similar treatment.
