Oh so true!! And sad,, I just went to ER with agonizing back pain and some chest pain.. did a CT and found pneumonia.. and prescribed antibiotics and discharge papers..I just their rest room before I left and almost passed out!! The pain was agonizing ( he has said it was pneumonia pain in my kidney..I told him I had kidney stones) So I went right back in and everyone was 'Oh you can't do this..I said I need to talk to him..(Pointing at the dr) and fortunately he was nice about it..(altho security was called).I said I'm leaving here as bad as I was coming in..he changed to diagnosis to "kidney colic" and gave me a shot of morphine. Went to the Urologist and he did an ultrasound 1.7 CENTIMETER stone lodged. All this after I had just seen the urologist and he said 4 small stones each kidney come back in Dec. All this while my 95 year old Mother was passing.. exact time..arguing with nurse to get dr info from scan so if I have to go back to ER I can tell them ..HEY THERE'S A BIG OLE KIDNEY STONE STUCK" I'm gonna get a copy of the ultrasound to carry with me to ER if I have to go..gee whiz..I paid more attention to chocolate chips and hairspray when I was a sale rep!! Why don't they care anymore..??? Praying for you !!

ers suck right now

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I don't know if it's just that doctors don't know, don't care or don't want to take the time. My old fashioned country doctor cared. I saw him every 3 months and each time he checked blood pressure and pulse. He said he needed the baseline to know when something was wrong, now this doctor saws he only checks if I have BP symptoms. He also told me some specialists only want to do surgeries because that's where the money is. That is the kind I had. Immediately she wanted to set the date for surgery, then finally gave me antibiotics which did clear up the infection.
