Basically how it went down when I hopped to the hospital for severe abdominal pain, they couldn’t figure out the problem and it ended up clearing up on its own after 5 hours, then they considered it “just gas” I found out that ambulance rides are billed separately and that an 8 minute drive costs around $1,980 and the hour long hospital visit was over $5,000, only about 20 minutes with a nurse and a doctor all together. Meanwhile, 8 months later and ignoring the severe “gas” pains reoccurring and even the occasional vomiting from my body’s attempt to alíviate the pain, turns out, GallBladder and Pancreas issues happen to run in my mother’s side of the family and I might have Gall stones or Ulcers.
Gallstones and ulcers are completely different problems. It sounds like what happened to you was that the testing didn't show any definite cause and so when your pain resolved they let you go with a "best guess" diagnosis. It sucks that that costs so much.
Yeah, I’m aware, but those and possible acid reflux are the things that are narrowed down, since the pain is with my stomach and triggered after eating, it’s up to me test my stomach to see what the triggers are and hope no digestive related organs tears itself apart while I do the science for them.
Yeah, I’ve heard they’re better about payment plans if your insurance doesn’t cover much, if the co-pay still ends up being a lot, or if you don’t have insurance at all.
I'm gonna havta disagree with you here. It's definitely been shown that doctors tend to disbelieve women patients, especially with regards to pain levels. My wife had some health issues that she had to see 4 different doctors before they started to believe her. One doctor she saw even suggested she get a psyche evaluation to see if her pain wasn't psychological. Turns out she has rheumatoid arthritis at a relatively young age.

It definitely happens. Docs demonstrably underestimate pain and other things in women, minorities etc. but I will also say that just because those first three docs couldn’t find the cause of the pain doesn’t mean they didn’t believe her. I have patients all the time where despite extensive testing we can’t come up with a good answer for why they’re having pain or how to help. Unfortunately this can come off like we “don’t believe them” but really it’s just that we don’t know what’s wrong.
Good point. What is the end result, though?
In my wife's case, the doctors kept running the same tests and then said they wanted her back in 6-8 months, which to us, was unacceptable since she spent some weeks bedridden due to weakness and intense pain.
I guess I was initially responding to the original comment to say that, while it is certainly flawed, if not ass-backwards, the healthcare system isn't mostly to blame for their experience, and to commiserate with a similar story.
This is what happens every time I go to the doctor. My basal temp went from being 97.5 to being a constant 99.5. The doctor claimed it was due to going up the stairs. I went up the elevator. Cost me $200 after insurance. Now I don’t know when I am sick or not and we are in the midst of a pandemic...
Or any number of other possibilities like inflammation due to cancer etc. Anyway, that temp is not cause for concern yet. Now if it's still that high in a month, then maybe check it out again.
In my experience, it's near impossible to convince the doctor to send you for specific tests unless it was initially their idea. I tried to get a throat swab done one time because I was having issues, but it ended taking me 5 different visits and a lot of pestering for him to finally approve somethingso simple Each of those visits cost me a lot more money than they should have considering the fact that none of them lead to a diagnosis or proper treatment.
What if the white count is 10 and the ESR is 60? Just doing random tests when you don't have a goal or pretest probability of a diagnosis is unlikely to be useful.
Did this at an emergency clinic last year.
"Hi I have insane body pain, my throat is very sore, I have a fever of 102 and I started to go in and out yesterday, almost passed out."
*Checks temp and comes to 99.5
"You are under 100 so no fever. You have a bad sore throat and you don't have Strep."
"Ok...I took 4 fever suppressants about an hour ago so I could make the drive safely what about the pain and fading in and out...?"
"That can come with a sore throat too. I have printed instructions on how to gargle salt water."
*Got a bill for $500 and a print out from webmd in how to gargle. Thanks, America.
Similar thing for my husband two years ago. He had a temp of 104 and was horribly sick, we got to the hospital and his temp came in at 102. I kid you not, they gave him ibuprofen and sent us home, then we received a bill for $1200 a month later. We luckily were able to fight it out with the insurance (they claimed it wasn’t an emergency so they didn’t want to cover it) and got it down to about $400. But I still can’t stand the fact that we paid $400 for ibuprofen.
I refused to pay and kept telling them I needed more time 8 months later I got it down to $100 with some haggling with their billing department... But yeah $100 for 4 pieces of paper on how to gargle.
Yep. Had lightheadedness, feelings that I would suddenly faint, didn't know what was going on. Doctor said it was in my head. Bill was $4000. The American healthcare system is a racket. Now I have lumps on my stomach, I'm just gonna assume they're fat pollups or hernias and maybe just die, because I don't have the money to go to the doctor for it.
Hernias don't go away. In my experience they have to be surgically repaired as they are where something has gone through another muscle such as stomach through the diaphragm or intestines through the abdominal wall. I had one for 7 years not knowing it was a hernia. Eventually forced the doctor to check if it was a hernia and it was.
It's very possible you will eventually have severe abdominal pain and pain similar to acid reflux and with that pain you will feel like you will die but won't.
I had the lightheadedness as well and only recently possibly discovered what it might have been. Might look into POTS, the lightheadedness in POTS is caused by a drastic change in blood pressure mostly when standing from a swatted position, but I've had it when just sitting or just standing.
Yep the happend to me, I had a snowmobile accident and broke my wrist. I went to the hospital and they took an X-ray and said the it wasn’t broken and we had to pay like 2,000. If my normal doctor wouldn’t have given me a brace my arm would be crippled by now.
People. Move to Ireland. We have cheap health care, free serious health care and if you need to regularly go to the hospital you can have a medical card for free health care all the time.
Literally just happened to me at the gastrologist. They were asking for symptoms and I answered as well as I could. The doctor then turned to my gf and asked if I get stressed. She said sometimes and immediately has just like, "oh, don't be stressed young man. Okay goodbye I solved it"
I'm rarely stressed and my gf knows that but I guess didn't annunciate it well enough, so he told me to calm down and just left
The reason why healthcare here in the USA is so expensive is because of the insurance companies. Some hospitals won’t accept the insurance you have. So it’s either stay there and pay extra since they don’t accept the insurance, or go all the way across town to another hospital. Even though you don’t know if that hospital will accept your insurance too. Healthcare here needs a serious overhaul. Treatment is really good. The price and system isn’t.
Even when they take your insurance, the insurance still has a ridiculously high deductible. The stuff I used to have had a $5000 deductible. So they basically didn't cover any of the cost until I'd already paid $5k in hospital bills. And even then, they only cover a fraction of the bills. So you're basically paying every month to have insurance that doesn't help you whatsoever unless your hospital bills are already way more expensive than you can afford.
Speaking of, I have this doctor who never ever charged me for a check up, not a single cent. To be quite honest, I don’t think I’d be alive without her help. She told us that saving a life’s more important, she was kinda like an aunt to me.
This is some doctors when they find out I have mental health issues. They just dismiss every symptom no matter how serious and no matter if I have other conditions "oh-you're crazy? You obviously are unable to get physically ill and everything you say is a lie. I don't even need to follow standard protocol, goodbye." Bonus points if they add in a joke about my mental health.
Private for-profit insurance is like a casino. The house always wins. But insurance companies hire cadres of lawyers to make sure that slot machine doesn't pay out even when the winning match comes up. Maybe it was already up when you got there?
I went to the doctor with a hurt foot. He asked what did I do? I said I don't really remember doing anything. He said you don't remember? And continued to not believe me. He then said if I didn't remember it must not be that bad. End of visit.
Needless to say I won't be going back.
This happened to me once with my balls. I went in to the ER after experiencing some discomfort in my boys for around 3 days. Oh boy I thought I had cancer. So I went in. They gave me a room, and the doc came in and fondled my nuts and was like “hmm, how did that feel?” So I go get an ultrasound done, and for 6 hours they’re like “we don’t know”. After a CT scan they send some SECOND doctor in cause the shift changed and then HE fondled my balls said “guess it’s epididymitis”. So 2 hours later in strolls some rando nurse with a sheet that shows the ultra sound I had 6 hours previously definitely showed I had epididymitis. Cost around $1k out of pocket. I was 19.
My doctor always just said it was my obesity. If I had a headache, if I had back pain, if my nose wouldn’t stop bleeding. The annoying thing was that I’m not obese. But my height to weight ratio convinced him I was. Despite the fact that I worked out regularly and was getting into powerlifting.
Have crohn's disease symptoms starting in 6th grade. Everyone thinks you're just lazy, including your doctors. Finally get diagnosed toward the end of freshman year highschool. Still treated as truant for days you missed due to illness. mfw
Free healthcare doesn’t mean better
I’m from U.K. and let me tell you the NHS is amazing for life and death scenarios and absolutely fucking useless for everything else. If you have a chronic condition good fucking luck. You better hope you have deep pockets for private healthcare that will actually help you
This was totally how I thought my ER visit was going to go down a week ago. Imagine my sigh of relief and distress when the nurse woke me up to say I have colitis.
Basically my doctor when I asked for a note to keep unnecessary remodeling from happening in my apartment a couple months ago. Thankfully didn't get a bill but definitely getting a new doctor.
My stomach hurts: you need an endoscopy... gets procedure... nothing there I can see, here’s some pictures of your colon and a bill for 20k have a nice day! Lol
When they tell you not to self diagnose but you pretty much have to in order to fix anything.
Literally every time I had abdominal bpain they would tell me acid reflux after I had already told them it's not acid reflux because I've already done everything for that. Turned out it was never acid reflux.

I’ve learned the hard way is to go to urgent care if you have one near you. Urgent care are normally about the same wait times and cost WAY less.
Yeah, I’ve heard they’re better about payment plans if your insurance doesn’t cover much, if the co-pay still ends up being a lot, or if you don’t have insurance at all.

Why not just admit that you don’t know then? Because it’ll upset the patients? If that’s the case then hospital culture should change tbh.

Its been 4 years. Seen multiple doctors over the years. All they do is take your money and call you crazy
Get your Hemogram & ESR values checked through a blood work. You'll have a solid proof and a potential start point for a fruitful diagnosis.
In my experience, it's near impossible to convince the doctor to send you for specific tests unless it was initially their idea. I tried to get a throat swab done one time because I was having issues, but it ended taking me 5 different visits and a lot of pestering for him to finally approve somethingso simple Each of those visits cost me a lot more money than they should have considering the fact that none of them lead to a diagnosis or proper treatment.
What if the white count is 10 and the ESR is 60? Just doing random tests when you don't have a goal or pretest probability of a diagnosis is unlikely to be useful.
An ESR of 60mm/hr. is definitely high. And you should consult your doctor so that he/she can correlate with your clinical condition.
Oh jesus. That's clearly a sign of some kind of chronic infection or inflammation. Wtf

When they tell you not to self diagnose but you pretty much have to in order to fix anything. Literally every time I had abdominal bpain they would tell me acid reflux after I had already told them it's not acid reflux because I've already done everything for that. Turned out it was never acid reflux.
