Just talked to the er doc which was just a physician assistant said that he didn’t think I needed one real bad because I had one a month ago. He also said chiari wise wouldn’t show very much and to follow up with the neurosurgeon now I’m worried I should of just gotten the scan..

So you just wasted time and resources again on NOTHING. Physician assistant are doctors by the way. Obviously if you needed one badly, they would have sent you. Since you have chiari, it makes sense to follow up with a neuro specialist.

If you think you need to follow up on a diagnosed condition then it is reasonable to ask the relevant doctor about it. If they listen to you and decide you don't need a more urgent appointment then that means a lot more than someone without a specialism in an ER who doesn't understand anywhere near as much about the condition or your case.

You have to ask yourself whether it is an emergency. There is never a point rushing to an ER thinking you have cancer (not considering brain tumours) because your doctor can get you seen just as quick and an ER isn't going to follow anything up because all they are interesting in is patching you & sending you home or referring you onto a ward where someone more relevant takes over a longer case.

Rushing to an ER is about seeking reassurance. Trying to end your panic. It might help in the short term but long term all you are doing is reinforcing your mental health issues. And I understand you have a genuine condition, and yes it may need a more relevant doctor to consider them, but you also have an anxiety disorder which you aren't trying to treat so are rushing from one bad thing to another when people with the same condition as you would be taking a very different approach.

Yes, indeed, entirely agreed Terry. As I said earlier, contact your consultant responsible for the diagnosed condition, explain the symptoms and ask if you can see them earlier. Rushing to ER is an absolute waste of time.

You answer this one. You've had stacks of answers over the years to this question, and probably even on this thread. What do you think ?

This isn't a brain tumour forum.
