Don't bother calling, if you're in major pain, just GO. My experience with Kaiser's ER over the years has generally been excellent (with the caveat that you can end up waiting. . . and waiting. . . and waiting, but that's true of ALL ER rooms, not just Kaiser!). However, once you get in, they'll take every step and send you through all the tests they can to make sure that they know what's wrong. I went in once for unidentified pain in my abdomen, years ago, and they tested me for everything from diabetes to ectopic pregnancy to, yes, gallstones. That was back when I only weighed 220 or so and years before I had kids. . . Cathy C.

When I had my gallbladder out, they couldnt schedule my surgery for two weeks. I was in so much pain I couldnt go to work because the pain meds put me to sleep. I finally got a nurse that just said "Honey, go to the E.R. and cry until they take it out" and sure enough that is exactly what I did. I had to wait about a day for surgery but at least I was on morphine while I waited!!
