How are you going to go a whole week with your tube not working? I would think this would be considered an emergency. Even if they have to order it, they really should be able to get you in there earlier than Friday. Please make sure you take care of yourself. Ask your doc for a referral to get daily hydration. You dont want to get yourself sick from lack of nutrition and hydration.
