The next morning I awoke to excrutiating pain in the groin area to the point I was screaming with any movement. The doctors’ office refused to return multiple calls and messages, even the receptionist took a message back to the nurse. Next morning the hospital called and that nurse said call the doctor now. After 3 tries my husband got through and he said take her to the emergency room. There I was given pain killers and a CAT scan revealing some arterial bleeding and sent home. A week later I cannot lay on the side the cathetor was inserted into way on my right side near the hip bone, and am in pain with any movement, but it is bareable. No one will talk to me. I cannot make it to work. December 2007
