Why can't your PCP see you and THEN call your GI if he thinks it is GI related. Could be something else causing your problems- although unlikely. Still, thats what a PRIMARY care physician is for, NOT the ER. -SC >--------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 , Have you talked to your primary care doc about this? I think you better head to the ER if he won't help and get some relief. Have them call your GI and see if that will help get you in sooner. You are in my thoughts and prayers... {{{HUGZ}}} --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
