It’s mind boggling that the person keeps going to medical professionals with severe blood loss, unable to stand and walk and nothing gets done all this time except pumping blood and sending you home. I’d be tempted to file a complaint l. I just don’t get it.
It’s law suit worthy

They said the ER was there to provide "stop-gap" remedies, but that I could pursue other things through referrals on an out-patient basis. Seemed irresponsible to me. They said I should ask my provider to request diagnostic procedures. She's a phyician's assistant. They put too much on the shoulders of a P.A. - primary care provider. Last week they said they would send her an electronic message encouraging her to work on referrals.
Well, I go in 20 minutes to endoscopy.
