Weird emergency experience

July 7, 2010

Hello mist,

Last week during a particularly bad flare up I was taken to the ER at about 1 am

by my 67 year old dad.

We were in there about 10 minutes when it all went down hill. The physician

would not listen to anything I was saying- he would cut me off every time.

At one point he used the phrase " yeah, yeah, yeah " . I then asked him to please

phone my doctor. He gave me a smirk and an OK and left, only to tell me that a

doctor covering for my doc said this was not an emergency and I did not need to

be treated.

That was it and he was gone again. y'all hang on this is where it gets

interesting. We proceeded to get me into the wheelchair and here comes a nurse

saying we have a shot for you and by this time my own pride and anger refused

them.

We were outside in the truck and who shows up? The police!!! Can you believe

this? The officer wants to know if I am the one that is doctor shopping and

which er we might go to next? I was so humiliated. All I could do was cry.

Now I guess here is my question- if I was in the wrong why have I gotten 4 calls

from the DON, one from the er physician liaison, and am expecting another call

from them tomorrow?

Could they be worried about me oh I don't know...speaking to an attorney about

my treatment? And I want to know what y'all think I should do. Thanks for

listening. Hope you all have a pain free night.
