Back up north (2006), I had the same health problem, spent a few hours in the ER, they gave me something for the pain, took a picture of the kidney stone, confirming I had a stone, gave me the name of a suitable doctor, and sent me home with some pills for the pain until I could get to the doctor.

So while I completely understand the OP complaint, this may be the norm, a kidney stone is not necessarily an emergency. NOTE: having experienced this I completely disagree with any discussion that states a kidney stone attack is not emergency, the pain was horrible.
