I am just back from an emergency visit in the early hours of the morning with severe upper abdominal pain. The doctor I saw said I had blood and protein in my sample, could hardly walk with the pain. The doctor asked me what did I want him to do about it, then told me to go home take some more painkillers. He also went on about my fibromyalgia and why I couldn't work, totally irrelevant.
Now also the previous visit the year before upper right abdominal pain, the out of hours doctor said I had IBS and I was sent home again, I was crying in pain. Turned out I had Gallstones leaked and tore open my cystic duct and needed surgery. I will never use that out of hours again.
