Are you entitled to see a doctor if you're at the ER?

Op here. I called travel clinic's, urgent care and the health department. Everyone said to go to the ER. A doctor did show up a few minutes after I posted this. The doctor said they're admitting me to stay tonight. I hope I don't have anything serious. I have had a fever, chills, sweating and headaches for 6 days now. I hope it's only the flu but it's better to be safe. I am in a new city without a regular doctor. It hasn't been easy to figure care out.

Something doesn't add up.

You called a travel clinic. They told you to go to the ER. So instead, you called an urgent care facility. They told you to go to the ER. So instead of going, you called the health department? I'm sensing a pattern that you don't take instructions well.

You've had a fever for 6 days with chills, headache and sweating and you think it's life threatening because what?

You don't think a nurse can help diagnose what you have because why?

OP, you're obviously a youngster and you have a fever. A regular ol fever. I hate to break it to you but it's not life threatening and you will live to see another day.

Go eat some ice cream, calm down and you'll be better in a few days.

What is wrong with you pp? She has been to Asia recently. A fever is considered malaria until proven otherwise.

This is the PP who questioned OP. I'll bite on your response.

So, apparently she contracted a fever in a foreign country (India) prior to arriving back home in the states. Yet when directed by 3 different medical establishments to go to the ER she still waits 6 days before she decides to go to the ER? Then she complains about not having a doctor at her beck and call because she has a life threatening disease?

She sounds like a narcissistic alarmist. Even if it is malaria, which I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that it's not, it's not always fatal. According to the CDC, it is sometimes fatal.

Don't wait 6 days before going to the ER, ignoring sound health advice from 3 different medical professionals, and cry life threatening disease when you arrive at the ER. Not a good look.

You sound bat sh$$ crazy pp. Was she supposed to go to the ER on day 1 with a fever. Just give it a rest jesus. You sound unhinged.

And OP, be sure to grab some ice cream while you're there. You can remember that sweet treat fondly when you come back to the DCUM money and finance board complaining about having to pay for an expensive ER visit and not being able to afford your avocado toast.

LOL, that makes perfect sense. If I had a life threatening illness as OP stated, I would totally wait the extra days until my insurance kicked in so that I could die first and then have them pay a bill after I've succumbed to this life threatening disease.

You obviously haven't been without insurance pp. Again you're very sick minded. You don't understand that some more scared of bills than potentially dying? It happens all the time in America.

You're right, I should find something better to do but so should you and so should OP.

I disagree with your assessment but that is what these boards are here for -- but let's be civil about it.

Op here. I called travel clinic's, urgent care and the health department. Everyone said to go to the ER. A doctor did show up a few minutes after I posted this. The doctor said they're admitting me to stay tonight. I hope I don't have anything serious. I have had a fever, chills, sweating and headaches for 6 days now. I hope it's only the flu but it's better to be safe. I am in a new city without a regular doctor. It hasn't been easy to figure care out.

Something doesn't add up.

You called a travel clinic. They told you to go to the ER. So instead, you called an urgent care facility. They told you to go to the ER. So instead of going, you called the health department? I'm sensing a pattern that you don't take instructions well.

You've had a fever for 6 days with chills, headache and sweating and you think it's life threatening because what?

You don't think a nurse can help diagnose what you have because why?

OP, you're obviously a youngster and you have a fever. A regular ol fever. I hate to break it to you but it's not life threatening and you will live to see another day.

Go eat some ice cream, calm down and you'll be better in a few days.

What is wrong with you pp? She has been to Asia recently. A fever is considered malaria until proven otherwise.

This is the PP who questioned OP. I'll bite on your response.

So, apparently she contracted a fever in a foreign country (India) prior to arriving back home in the states. Yet when directed by 3 different medical establishments to go to the ER she still waits 6 days before she decides to go to the ER? Then she complains about not having a doctor at her beck and call because she has a life threatening disease?

She sounds like a narcissistic alarmist. Even if it is malaria, which I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that it's not, it's not always fatal. According to the CDC, it is sometimes fatal.

Don't wait 6 days before going to the ER, ignoring sound health advice from 3 different medical professionals, and cry life threatening disease when you arrive at the ER. Not a good look.

You sound bat sh$$ crazy pp. Was she supposed to go to the ER on day 1 with a fever. Just give it a rest jesus. You sound unhinged.

Ok, so why Day 6 and not Day 1?

Perhaps because her health insurance didn't kick in yet moron.

LOL, that makes perfect sense. If I had a life threatening illness as OP stated, I would totally wait the extra days until my insurance kicked in so that I could die first and then have them pay a bill after I've succumbed to this life threatening disease.

You obviously haven't been without insurance pp. Again you're very sick minded. You don't understand that some more scared of bills than potentially dying? It happens all the time in America.

Ok, it looks like it is just you and me that are keeping this thread alive.

It also looks like I've hit a nerve with you and I'm not trying to do that. I've been without insurance. I've also been deathly sick. Not at the same time. All I'm saying is that there is a lot of things that don't make sense about what OP did. That's it. I do hope she gets better.

But I still maintain that she probably just has the flu. The regular old flu with a regular old fever.

I apologize if my posts have been offensive to you. They were not meant to be. All I'm saying is that OP should calm down and have some ice cream. She will be fine.

There is more avocado toast for her to have in this lifetime....

Um what. Where did op say she contacted 3 medical professionals on the day she got a fever? You're making up stuff now.

Um, read OP's response:

Op posted a few days ago for advice. Where in here do you see that she contacted 3 medical professionals 6 days ago. Why don't you find something better to do then shit on a sick person pp? You're truly sick minded seriously.

You're right, I should find something better to do but so should you and so should OP.

I disagree with your assessment but that is what these boards are here for -- but let's be civil about it.

The OP has a fever. She will live.

Are you always this nasty? I urge to explore why.

No, not nasty, just older. There is no need to panic about a fever or a flu. No need to demand a doctor over a nurse either.

My best wishes to you OP. You will get better.

Flu results take 15 minutes. Op should know by now if she has the flu.
