After the 2 different Neuros phone consults and the GP all saying go to the ER; I break down and go. Mistake #1 - I went. Mistake #2 - both neuros think I have gout or blood clots in both calves. Mistake #3 - I went to the ER. Mistake #4 - I sat there for 12 hrs waiting to be seen. But the biggest mistake is that they actually sent me a survey to fill out. I am actually having my adult child write it for me because my fine motor skills aren't the best and I couldn't let my younger ones see what choice words I wasgoing to use. Now I know I didn't have blood clots; but you see I don't have that MD after my name. And I know I didn't have gout; but why can your drs not listen to you? How come when you ask to see if they can fit you in it's like a month away; but somehow you go to the ER and you can get an appt in 2 weeks! They don't see people for 1 week a month and then they don't see you in the ER either. I would love to have a job that I work 3 weeks a month. Sit in my seat for a few days and I will listen to you! Thank you for letting me vent, I feel better now!
