How did they think you can fake coughing up blood? Fake coughing, sure, but blood?
I know hypochondria exists, but I think doctors should start out by taking patients seriously and gather some actual proof that a patient's real problem is hypochondria before dismissing their complaints.
Blood was earlier in morning. Urgent care wouldn’t see me. Was super pale. ER figured I was faking or that I was confusing muscle pain for something serious.
This was actually the second time I went to the ER. First time they didn’t xray and sent me home.
