I'm past the time where it would have been considered an emergency, but I would still call it urgent. Waiting weeks isn't acceptable.
Hi Heechee, and welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you're getting the grand runaround. The thing is, if it's a reaction to meds you have to see a physician, and they should know that. Don't worry about it being "past the time" because you're right-- it isn't acceptable. Go to the ER-- at least there you'll get seen.

Good luck. I know it's tough but you have to get out there and stand up for yourself on this one.

all the best,

Randy
