Last week, my grandma went to the ER for dizziness & vomiting. She’s pretty old, and has had previous issues with her heart and lungs, so they ran numerous tests on her, and did a bunch of blood work. But after 4 days of testing and observation, they didn’t know what was causing her symptoms. So they just released her and just said to come back if the symptoms return.
On Saturday, my mom went to the ER for lower abdominal pains. They gave her meds to temporarily relieve the pain. They did a bunch of scans and blood work, which all came out normal, and after 4 hours of observation, they didn’t know what was causing her pains. So they just released her and just said to come back if the pains return.
Really, WTH, doctors!?!? All those years in med school and all we get for a diagnosis is a shoulder shrug and a dumbfounded look on your face? THE worst thing they can, and did, say is "we have absolutely no idea what's wrong with you".
