I developed a heart/stomach crisis during the night. First thing Monday morning I called my Internist for an appointment, 2 weeks out, asked to see anyone,,two weeks out asked to get into their urgent care that they keep advertising, Booked for 2 weeks!
Called my Cardiologist at Cardiac Solutions, 3- 20 minute segments of listening to music on hold then got, "voice mail box full"!!
As a last chance I called Cardiac Care Consultants,, phone answered quickly, received an appointment for next morning,,was examined and sent off for lab work. Late next afternoon I received a call from Allison who went over the blood draw results. She said that several liver enzymes had very high readings pointing to the gallbladder as the source of my severe pain. She spent over a half hour reviewing my medication list having me stop taking the meds that would further adversely affect the liver. She then urged me immediately to seek out gallbladder treatment.
A very ugly gallbladder surgically removed! No pain now other than from the actually surgery.
A Class Act team. Very grateful for the quick diagnosis.
