What they did wasn't right, but that's why we need to step up the game a bit. Sometimes we have to fight to get what we need. Just because they didn't help you then, doesn't mean you will waste your time now too. Even so, it's always better to try and fail, than to never try at all. Don't let your feelings stop you from pursuing what you're entitled to!As a patient, you have rights. You're not just at the mercy of unhelpful doctors, if your life is in danger, you can demand to have relevant tests done and they must comply or they risk losing their licenses. I would have no qualms reminding them of that!Is there anyone you can ask to go with you to back you up? It can be daunting to go in by yourself when you're not feeling well. Having someone to support you and advocate for you to get the tests you need can help immensely. I know I would stick with you if I had that option!</blockquote>
