text: I was suffering multiple G.I. symptoms, like stomach ache and bloated belly (intestine area). The doc immediately ordered a very expensive endoscopy procedure ($3000 total WITH insurance). He said I could try different meds to find out what is wrong if I didnt want to do the procedue. But I have no clue it would have cost so much and didnt want to wait months after months of trial and error with meds so I did it. \n\nWhen I went back to see the results, he was only going to prescribe meds for my stomach, not telling me what I should do with my unusual bloatedness that is way below the stomach area. I reminded him my intestinal bloatedness was about to cause me to explode, and it's not just in the stomach, it's in my small intestines, he turned all sarcastic on me and asked why didn't I tell him what to do now because I sounded like I am the doctor. He could have told me something like all G.I. problems are connected why dont we start by treating your stomach, instead of having a power trip with a patient who was asking questions only because her body was feeling super uncomfortable and she just wanted to find out what is wrong and fix it!!!! What a pity, I thought I found a charming and caring doctor in the beginning. \n\nThe procedure itself was really smoothly done. I felt the anesthesia going into the IV and 2 counts later I passed out. When I woke up, everything was done! It was like a miracle. It just cost a lot of money and I'm not sure if it was necessary in my case.
