I just walked out. I have a blood disease and in recent weeks, my labs have progressively gotten worse. My immune system is pretty much shot. My kidneys have started leaking large amounts of protein, my blood pressure is completely uncontrollable and I feel absolutely awful. I work in healthcare myself and i am literally this close to catching one bad cold and it turning into an fatal infection. Understandably, my pcp called me after getting my latest labs and told me to go straight to the er at uams due to the specialists they have there. Like I'm really sick, I could be dead within a year. So I get there, explain the situation. Triage nurse won't even let me sit in the waiting room because my wbc is so low so I'm prone to catch anything. But the Doctor basically says you LOOK fine, but I'll take some urine. I'm literally getting worse everyday and he says I look fine/ take some urine. After two hours, no one had even given me a cup to pee in so I left in tears. My life means nothing apparently. I see my pcp again this morning and will just let her know that uams didn't find my DEADLY blood disease as important and dire as her. Exactly why I don't see help the worse my condition gets because honestly, no one gives a f***. Thanks uams and dr. Wilson, for making me realize that I am ready to die.
