I've been "sweating bullets" today wondering how you are. I am so glad that you helped yourself by going to the emergency room. And that doctor being there for you today--what a lucky find! Her calling your family doctor on your behalf was wonderful--often it takes one professional to get the message across to another professional. Is she only an emergency room physician? I mean, can she be your doctor? (When I went to Care Now, the doctor who helped me was only filling in there that day; she actually had her own practice; it was about an hour's drive with heavy traffic/tolls from me, so I didn't become a patient.) Hope you are feeling a lot calmer!
