Glad that all really is well. They were probably too dismissive of my mom because she was youngish, close to normal weight and female. Plus she went to her regular provider, not the ER. Also, at that time her provider was a nurse practitioner. Never again!
I see an NP who has done very well by me these past few years.
There are 4 MDs in the practice as well. Getting an 2nd opinion hasn’t been too tough what times I needed it.
