Discharge //

You have been evaluated in the emergency department today for abdominal pain. Your evaluation suggests that your pain is due to gallstones. It is not emergent at this time but it is recommended that you make an appointment at a surgery clinic to be evaluated to have your gallbladder removed. Please follow up with your primary care physician within two days for a referral to a surgeon. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one. If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this of local clinics or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance. Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening pain, fever, recurrent vomiting, blood in vomit, blood in stool, dark tarry stool, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms.
