I give two stars only because I didn t die I guess. I went to the ER with textbook gallbladder symptoms, and Dr. Pittman sent me home telling me it was just a viral GI problem. I told him of my family history, asked about a gallbladder function test, and told him of recent symptoms that now made perfect sense. I was throwing up with severe back and abdominal pain, shaking, elevated liver enzymes, and he sent me home on a Sunday morning with nausea meds. Luckily I have a friend of a friend who works for Dr. Jeffrey, and she got me in early Monday morning, scheduled a CCK and found that my gallbladder was functioning at 20%. I could tell more horrible ER stories, but basically WRMC ER is a complete joke.
