这边的医生

这边的医生态度大都不错，但水平就有些让人不安了。

大概两三个月前，我总是半夜四五点被痛醒，前胸下面肝部的位置和后背都疼得受不了。 一开始以为是以前背部扭伤的后遗症，还特地换了新床垫，可是没有任何帮助。一周之后我受不了了，约了医生见面；验血、验尿和做B超后医生说一切正常，开了瓶抑制胃酸的药把我打发了。那药对我没有任何作用，于是一周后我换了个医生。这次是验血、X光和放射肝胆照影（HIDA Scan，就是通过静脉注射放射性元素Tc，发射伽玛射线成像），又一次医生说没有任何问题，开了另一种胃酸药就消失了。我吃了新药感觉没什么作用也不吃了，开始自己在网上查找，同时也问了我妈。我妈猜测是胆道炎，我就在re-check的时候和医生提，被告知没有证据表明是这种病，拒绝开相关的药。
