When I had an ulcer, I called an ambulance at 3am because the pain was so bad I could hardly breath
The ambo driver didn't want to take me to the hospital and said it was probably just heartburn, but after I insisted they took me... He even made a joke that I must have been fine because I brought a battery pack and people who are having "true emergencies" don't think of those things
At emergency, they kept insisting it was heartburn despite me telling them I know what heartburn feels like
They gave me medicine for heartburn that made the pain so much worse... It was only at that point when I was literally screaming in agony that they decided they better actually investigate
Half hour later I was on a helicopter to Sydney for surgery
They wasted well over an hour telling me I just had heartburn before they even decided to start investigating it.
I can only imagine the pain this poor man went through at home after the drs Palmed him off
