I went to patient first with severe lower abdomina...

I went to patient first with severe lower abdominal pain, went for an X-ray, they called and said I had a lacerated spleen and to get to the er asap. I waited 3.5 hours in the waiting room before getting a room. I almost wish I would've died so my family could sue. Flash forward 6 years, my boyfriend has severe upper abdominal pain, I mean doubled over throwing up pain. Went to er st 4am waited maybe 20 minutes which was nice, for the er doctor to tell him there's nothing he could do and didn't bother running any tests. My bf had gastric bypass a year prior and even after telling the doc it wasn't his stomach that hurt, it was higher up, he got a nasty attitude and said "sorry, can't help. You need to call your bariatric surgeon". Ended up being gallstones has lodged in his liver. Good job.
