While in the hospital for hip replacement surgery I had trouble getting pain meds. They were not given to me in time to prevent proper pain management. I felt I had to lie about my pain #. ( I did lie about it after that).  I felt my rights as a patient were ignored that night. After I asked 3 times over 2 hours the new nurse ( shift change) came in to a very upset patient. She immediately handled the situation.  Only after I got home did I feel like I had some control over keeping pain under control. Not by abusing the medication but taking it on a timely basis.
