GRR THIS MADE ME MAD!!

Ok after reading Spiritchilds post i thought about writing my experience from yesterday.

Since Thursday i have been sick. I've been having sharp cramps in my lower back and sides, nausea, light headedness, cold chills which would then lead to me feeling over heated, and a 102 temp. So basically from Sat on i have been laying in bed. Well, my work had told me that i cannot come back until i see a doctor (even though i have told them that i have no insurance).

So on Mon afternoon, my fiancee and i went into the doctors office, and had a couple of tests done. They found pus in my urine and whenever they touch my kidney area I would flintch in pain. So of course, they sent me to the E.R (after teeling me that the ER would be waiting for us...ect).

So we get to the ER, we wait in the lobby for about an hour, I finally get taken into the back where they start checking the heartbeat of the child. After that, we're left alone for another hour while calls to my OBGYN are made. (I haven't seen him in a month and a half since of my insurance situation. I also listed him as my primary physician since i don't see doctors that often.)

Anyways, he tells the hospital that since he hasn't seen me in awhile that I am not his patient. So upon hours and hours of being there, I'm told that the nurses and docts. do not understand why my doctor had sent me there. I can also here the nurses laughing at me because I don't know who my doctor is outside of my "curtain wall" room, and the blood and urine test turned up with nothing, even though my kidneys still hurt when they would tap them.

So basically I was told to drink only clear fluids, eat soft foods (bread, crackers, bananas, and boiled rice) and to take Tylenol when i have pain.

And now i'm getting a $1600 (including my doctors bill) to be told to do when i have been doing for the past 5 days.
