[quote=donfoo][quote]"Regular" ER's just looked befuddled and I made them call the otolaryngologist while I was in the ER if it wasn't at the oncology ER. [/quote]What kind of "uptown" place you live in anyway? You have boutique ER, regular ones and oncology and ...?

Geez, learn something new everyday. Naturally the 99% world has no clue how the 1% get treated. smile[/quote]

Not to hijack the thread but oncology ER? Really? Do they give you a pedicure during chemo too Uptown? lol

I suppose not everyone gets treated in a hospital. Certainly when I needed an ER the best choice was not to go to the closest one but the one where I was being treated. The ER people werent oncologists but it was helpful that my file was on site. FVS certainly breathing difficulties is a scary and urgent thing to deal with and you don't have the luxury of choice. I hope they found the cause and it hasn't happened again.
