You probably can't do it, so don't even try.

Rhian was kept in for monitoring overnight - and even tried to discharge herself after a few hours in hospital.

However, later that night Ffion received a phone call at 2am from her mum to say Rhian was unresponsive and to urgently come to hospital.
The stress comment was September 2020. She died in March 2021 while in the hospital being monitored. And the comments were only made after other common conditions were ruled out from testing. It's not like they did nothing.
It's not me, it's someone else.

A local hospital sent me home twice thinking I had kidney stones. On the third visit it was emergency surgery because the blood clot causing the issues and had basically killed my left kidney was a danger to release and outright kill me.

They are very lucky I'm not litigious.

Doctors and human beings and human beings make mistakes. Add onto that the ridiculous cost of tests and whatnot and it all equals a system where doctors are encouraged to rush to conclusions.
