If you are unable to get anywhere with her, please do not hesitate to contact emergency services. I doubt they will turn you down if you ask for help.
Please take good care of yourself and keep us updated?

I agree that it's possible your needs didn't come across the way you would've hoped. There have been times I've been at my worst and needed the hospital but didn't express this to my pdoc. Sometimes I unintentionally downplay or leave out symptoms. Other times I'm too embarrassed to tell the pdoc the full truth, afraid of what he would think (even though I know that's impractical). Doctors can only help the way we need when they know just how bad it is.
