[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425038, member: 1233"] Somewhere the hospital has a patient's bill of rights. It entitles you to appropriate care. i would print it off and take it and anything you can find that says the CT is the appropriate care and go back to the ER. I wonder if you could time it so that a different doctor is on duty. Even very small towns have more than one usually at the ER. Go online and search for the hospital's website. most have them now. Then search for the Patient's Rights on that site. No way is this doctor in the right and if you can go in and see another doctor you may be able to get the test done there. I hope they can help you soon. Some doctors are complete idiots and cruel to boot. Sadly they tend to congregate in emergency medicine because ER patients leave. They don't have to build a practice where patients come back over and over because often they are docs who cannot get people to come back because how badly they are treated. Our hospital just recently had to tell a dermatologist that he couldn't practice in the ER because he wasn't qualified. People here were happy to have a derm doctor in town and he did okay the first couple of years but no female patient would go back because he told all sorts of crazy things to them.

This is happening more and more. Esp as ins cos are less able to force you to see a certain doctor. Anyway, I hoep you [/QUOTE]
