I went to the ER 6 times within a month because of symptoms of a heart attack. To their credit they did run extensive tests to find the problem even though they had come out normal the previous times.

On the 3rd visit I was septic and admitted, but after the 4th I was treated as malingering or hypochondriac and left alone in the room until my vitals returned to normal.

On the 6th visit my BP was 220/160. The doctor asked me what I wanted him to do for me….I was stunned and said that if I stroke out at least I can get immediate help. He was addressing the wall and walked out while I was answering. And yes I finally got the charge of just being anxious.

The attitude the personal had toward me because they couldn’t find anything wrong was just stunning. One visit I was treated with hostility…
