I’m a 22 year old girl with a paralyzed stomach. AMA!

Okay, cool. Sorry if I offended, but as we both know, what SHOULD BE and WHAT IS, are different.

Years ago, my fiance went to the ER. She was prone to kidney infections, but this was the worst she had. I was there, doc came in, told her tests looked as expected, an infection. Recommended some antibiotics and light pain meds.

My gf was convinced she had stones, or worse. She argued with the doc, saying she wanted a CT. The doc, and I, both tried to talk her out of it.

She insisted, so the doc ordered a CT. Nothing.

A couple weeks later, we get a bill, can't remember for how much, but was in the thousands, for the scan. My gf's credit was hurt (she never paid it) for NOTHING.
