i had a pediatrician laugh at me once also when i wasn't gettng any sleep. until you've been there.........no one knows how it affects your mind. and i had the recent two month bout with no sleep and finally found help through my PA in Oklahoma. had to call HER to get help.

so, i'd like for you to either go to another doctor or ER. to get into the hospital, there has to be an admitting doctor and it isn't like it used to be.

we had a doctor on staff that did admissions when your doctor didn't do it. it is very common in good hospitals now. the patient presents at ER, the admitting doc is called, evaluates you and admits you or helps you. our staff felt like it was the coolest thing since sliced bread..........

there's nothing more frustrating for ER staff to have to send someone home when they know that they need help. let me know what you do........love, pat
