Im so frustrated. I was having extreme stomach pain and because I haven't been able to get an appointment with a Primary Care Physican (all in my area either do not call back to schedule or they are several months out) I had to go to urgent care. The doctor at urgent care is the reason I hate going to doctors in the first place. He berated me about not having a primary care physican and that I cant use urgent care for these kind of situations. When I tried explaining the issues I was having scheduling he said I should've just taken the appointment and waited. He then pushed me off to emergency. Emergency was able to say that I have a probable ulcer and gave me enough medicine to coat my stomach for 3 days of use then told me to follow up with a primary care physican. Again I explained how difficult the situation is to get an appointment and they said there was nothing they could do.
I started trying again and after 2 hours of phone calls to various offices that either dont take my insurance (despite being listed on my insurance website) or are 3 months til the next available appointment I finally have one for 2 weeks from now.
So now I have to deal with the pain of an probable ulcer for 2 weeks longer with no prescribed medication to coat my stomach and reliant on over the counter pepcid to treat this. I also got the bill for the visit to emergency which totalled 7000 dollars ( I owe 1112). I don't know what to do about this current state of healthcare in this country but this level of craziness is just insane.
