A year or two ago I had a sharp pain in my lower leg. I went to the ER (Emerson Hospital) on a weekend told them my symptoms. They did an ultrasound on my leg that day and found I had a small blood clot. I was prescribed blood thinners and had a follow up with my primary doctor and soon after a follow up ultrasound. The clot resolved itself and was no more.

FRICKIN' how did they not order up a simple noninvasive ultrasound for this man?

Healthcare industry kills like 25k a year on the low side of estimates… a guy losing a leg is nothing to them and they don’t care

Medical review board is all doctors, so expect them to circle the wagons to protect a fellow doctors license.
