Two weeks after being discharged I had the same symptoms of abdominal pain with tenderness that hurt to walk,sneeze or urinate.I had still not passed any stool even after taking colace,senokot,miralax & drinking gallons of water.
I contacted my PCP who advised that my problem was out of his realm of practice and that I should call my GIphysician. I called the GI's office & was told the next available appointment would be in 6weeks and that there were no available emergency appointments & that I should go to the ER.I made another call to my PCP for a referral to a GI & was told because it was a Friday no one would see me(1st day of Hanukah)so go to the ER.I looked in the phone book and found a GI but because I am uninsured they would accept me as a patient.So I went to the ER admitted for the severe abdominal pain & tenderness.I received an EGD? promised a colonoscopy within 2-3 days after EGD? well, long story short I never received a colonoscopy and after 2weeks inpatient nothing wlse was done. I was discharged today or should say thrown out of the hospital.An attending came to my room this afternoon whom I have never seen & discharged me without so much of an examination.I refused to be discharged without speaking with the GI physician because nothing had changed I still had the abdominal pain and now have not defacated as of 3weeks.Because I had questioned authority I was forced out,humiliated by security!!!!I am more than upset and still in pain.If I had health insurance would I have been treated with such disrespect?Are there any physicians out there who care about their patients & want to see them healthy?I have been sufferring for many years with this adhesional pain & the only medical treatment I have received are NARCOTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They are not the answer,narcotics just mask the symptoms. I need help desperately.I am not getting any better & I am scared for what my future holds.......
