FRUSTRATING, to say the least. I would take a list of meds that your reg. doc gives and show the weekend docs. My doc/s group also has " on-call " docs at night!!! I have learned to go the the ER during the week, between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. They are all caught up from the night and I usually get right in, and they can track down my doc fairly easily. I know you can't always predict attacks, but I try to " plan " when to go to the ER! Cecilia Cecilia soce@...

I always carry a list of meds and the ER docs always have access to my old charts. >I have learned to go the the ER during the week, between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. They are all caught up from the night and I usually get right in, and they can track down my doc fairly easily. >>>Most of the time, since I live alone, it is really frightening to try to get through until Monday morning. If I could wait that long, I may as well go to the office to see my own doc unless he sends me to ER (which he has done before).
