He was to see his family doctor today and get a referral. Again, if he gets worse we'll take him to emerg and let them hospitalize him. Enough is enough! Btw, re: the socialized medicine issue, my uncle lives in Georgia and was diagnosed with a heart ailment and prescribed meds for it. One day he was having pains and was near a hospital so he drove to the emerg, when they did tests they determined he didn't have a heart problem at all, he had cancer! Somehow his lump under his arm was previously diagnosed as a heart ailment. It ain't just socialized medicine!
