**Do you have a GP or private doctor of some kind? If not, you need to get one.**

That. A private physician will run the diagnosis to the ground. ERs a great if you are critically ill or have something very simple.

Apparently not in this case!

OTOH, I have a great GP who takes care of all of my medical needs.

I was an emergency room nurse for a lot of years at the “great” Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore when I was young. What an education that was! LOL! Some days, it was like working at the animal farm.

However, emergency rooms aren’t what they used to be. Everyone has to be so careful not to leave themselves open for a lawsuit.

I’m of the opinion that to cover their behinds, they order way too many tests , and don’t get around to treating you until all the test results are in.
