Gosh that's so scary! I'm sorry this is happening!

What does you "medical team" consist of? Would your PCP be able to provide or refer you to urgent care or ER?

Having a PCP referral to urgent care or ER is better than just showing up somewhere. First, the ER nowadays really is only for strokes, cardiac issues, bleeding; everyone else should bring lunch, dinner and PJs for an overnight stay in the waiting room. The PCP could get you seen faster.

Second, the ER won't assume you're a drug seeker, hypochondriac or some other non medical case.

I'm not sure you'd be released in less than 3 days, though.
