I have chronic pancreatitis. The ER is my ONLY option for treatment when my pancreatitis is bad enough because usually by the time I'm sick enough to need an ER for my pancreatitis I'm at the point where I need IV pain meds, IV fluids and IV nausea meds and chances are I'm probably going to need to be admitted. They can't do iv meds in my doctor's office so my PCP just sends me to the ER. And as soon as urgent care hears that I have a history of pancreatitis they send me to the ER as well when I go to urgent care with abdominal pain complaints so I feel like I can't win
