Then they might as well change the Hippocratic Oath to the Hypocrites Oath. Being threatened with non-treatment in an ER because you used the F-word? A court of law wouldn't "roll their eyes."

A nursing degree is not a license to be unprofessional. At least it used to not be.

I can assure you the administration of that hospital is doing anything but (cough-cough) "rolling their eyes" over this.

Plenty of hospitals refuse treatment when patients are verbally abusive to staff. Depending on the situation, they might even request security have a patient removed. This happens at for-profit hospitals and indigent hospitals. There is no excuse to treat staff that disrespectfully.

If you were that convinced you were diagnosed during visit 2, why did you return to the ER for a third visit? ERs are for emergencies, not run-of-the-mill visits. Your diagnosis could be related to a stroke, which might involve an EKG as part of the diagnostic process. Just because you weren’t having a stroke during visit 2 doesn’t mean you aren’t having a stroke during visit 3, because you did return to the ER for a reason.

EXACTLY!! But no, go on the internet and be rude to those trying to give you advice that YOU are asking for. Just like you were rude at the hospital. Good luck with your issues, many decent people on CD offer good advice, but not to posters who will continue to be rude when one is only trying to help you! You won't get any sympathy here if that's how you treat people!

Have a great day!

"Non-profits" aren't always. Kaiser is non-profit, but Kaiser Permanente--that runs Kaiser--is for-profit.

An EKG is not a big ticket item. According to this link, one costs $73 to $158. https://www.mdsave.com/procedures/el...etation/d182ff
The doctor likely does not work for the hospital.
