Shout it from the rooftops Alana! I can’t stress enough how important this message is. Don’t just go along with what a physician tells you or what your insurance is willing to cover if you aren’t comfortable with a treatment or diagnosis. I have seen so many disastrous consequences from patients who didn’t realize they had options.
I have told an emergency room physician who was trying to get me to sign discharge papers for my teen who was in agonizing pain that they would need to call the police to get me to leave. 3 hours later she was rushed into emergency gall bladder removal surgery after I refused to leave and insisted on an abdominal CT that was “Not covered by insurance.” You must advocate for yourself and your family in our broken healthcare system.
