    I went to see a gastrointestinal specialist two weeks ago and also had a five minute visit where he didn’t really listen to me about my issues and told me to call back in two weeks. I did, gave all my symptoms in detail to the nurse. A different nurse took two days to reply and the doctor still didn’t listen to my problem. Or I guess didn’t read it. And he’s the only gastrointestinal doctor in town. All the others within a 90 minute drive are either not taking new patients or won’t see me for 3 months, at which point, it will be too late. I haven’t eaten in 22 days. I’m basically fucked until I end up in a hospital.

    Please no medical advice. Thank you.
