Went to emergency room after 11pm with severe acute pain on right side/back. The staff gave me an IV with a cocktail for pain, nausea & inflammation.
I could not be properly diagnosed because a qualified person was unavailable to perform an ultrasound. I was given a CT scan; the imaging had to be emailed to Pennsylvania to be read. Long story short, the results were inconclusive, I was discharged told to get an ultrasound ASAP & billed over $6000.00.
I had an ultrasound elsewhere it was a gallbladder attack due to gallstones.
I'm not a hospital administrator but one would think an ER would have ultrasound capabilities.
