More personal today: For over a year, I've dealt w/ pain that evaded diagnosis & treatment. On multiple desperate trips to ER, I was given pain meds that didn't help. When I asked to be admitted, from ER, to the hospital to investigate the source of the pain, ER docs said...

...that my PCP and the specialist they contacted refused to admit me. When I asked my PCP and the specialist during follow up visits, they said the admission was up to the ER docs. Now I'm diagnosed w/ kidney cancer w/ possible metastases. We did not have to wait that long.
