NP was very pushy for me to get a CT scan of abdomen because of my vomiting/fever, saying she wanted to rule out pancreatitis. I deined and she got frustrated that I decided against her medical advice. I am a 44 year old healthy women who went there dehydrated with stomach flu symptoms. I understand there is protocol, but CT-scan is an expensive test and an infection could have been - and it was! - ruled out with blood work, which is much more affordable. Fortunutely, I do have good health insurance and could afford the unnecessary CT scan, but being so pushy to a patient in pain, who is unable to make educated decisions is far from the Hippocratic Oath take medical providers take. I am very disapponted.
