    got them to resume treatment after they dicked around for a month and he refused to leave because he was going to die if he left.

    I had to play this card once, too. I was in the cardiac unit for 28 days, and they were going to send me home because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and the insurance decided I wasn’t worth the expense anymore.

    I refused to leave until they gave me a diagnosis, because i would have just died otherwise.

    Pretty sure the healthcare system still wants that.

        Dysautonomia causing SVT and sinus arrest. I have a loop monitor now and am on heart meds.

        e: they wanted to send me home with ‘anxiety’.
