Got home and pain worse so go to 466a er just couple miles from my house. Only person there and after telling nurse my issue she immediately put an iv of pain killer and anti nausea drug. Dr came in immediately without even examining me we’re doing some scans of the area. Immediately had the scan after fifteen minutes came in and said you javelin a kidney stone, the size being maybe might pass on its own or have it removed. Forgot to mention when nurse gave me that I’ve, 10 minutes later the paid subsided.

Based on my experience at the ER on El Camino Real, I have three thoughts. First, I am very surprised someone saw you promptly, it took them almost 13 hours to completely misdiagnose me and send me home in critical condition. Second, as I’m sure you can figure out from my first thought, I am not surprised at all that they sent you home in pain without a proper diagnosis. Third, responding to the title to the thread “Villages ER vs 466A ER”, I would reword it to say “Villages ER vs Any other ER Between The Keys and Northern Maine”!
