I went into the ER for severe pain all over my body, had a CT scan done, blood draw (which indicated blood clots in the lungs, via my doctor), gave an IV drip and told no blood clots, but a "flu like illness". Sent home. Next day had some much pain I passed out from it, had my jaw lock in place, and wouldn't go back because I was scared of having a flu like illness. The day after, I woke up couldn't move, had severe pain every where still, and my mother rushed me into the hospital. This ER PA and nurse were great. They thought I had signs of spinal meningitis. I was admitted for 4 days with numerous tests done.
After being discharged, I've been trying to set up a payment arraignment, because who has over $1,000 to fork out? And the billing department keeps answering the phone and saying to give them my name and number, and they'll call back. Every. Time. I call.
I'm not AT ALL impressed. And I'll make sure next time I have an emergency to go out of my way, and go to Rexburg.
