I have acute IBS and the treatment with this gastroenterologist were not going anywhere. So i went to another gastroenterologist, who put me on a new medication. I had appointment with this gastroenterologist today and he got mad at me why i went to the other gastro-enterologist. He then said, "i will not treat you now. Don’t even bother anymore to come here"

Basically thats all he did and he will bill my health insurance company several 100′s of dollar for this "scolding only". Is this fair? As a patient why can’t I see another gastro-enterologist for relief or get second opinion? Is that not my right?

This gastroenterologist was so pissed at me, he was like fuming. Why should he get his money today? Please tell me. I went to him for hemorrhoids and he REFUSED to treat me because "you dared to go to another gastroenterologist". Is this fair?
To whom can i complain of such conduct? He plainly refused to treat me. Is this even legal?

What does hemmorhoid treatment have to do with "because you saw another GE i won’t treat you" ?

While this is an issue I hate to talk about, I am willing to try anything to get help with this. Starting back in November I’ve been having almost constant pain and discomfort in the rectal area. I have no insurance but I was able to get a colonoscopy which revealed polyps and an internal hemorrhoid. I know surgery is an option but I know things won’t be the same if I get that done. Any real tips would be helpful. I have a great sense of humor but this is serious so please spare the sarcasm.

I have health insurance but I don’t have a primary care physician (haven’t needed one yet and I’m not sure how to start looking lol), so who do I see about treatment of hemorrhoids? Do I just go to a hospital? Or should I look up doctors in my health insurance database- if so, then what type of doctor should I talk to?

Ok, in the past few months, I’ve started having a few problems. First, I’ve been unrelentlessly constipated (laxatives only give me short term diarrhea, but no long term effects). Eating oatmeal helps a little, but not enough. I get cramps and shooting pains in my chest, belly, sides, and lower back. I have searing gas pains. I get dizzy headaches, and am often nauseous. I feel fatigued, and unusually sleepy in the morning. And now, just recently, on the few occasions in which I CAN, in fact, poop, there’s blood. Today there was quite a bit.

I’m not expecting an official diagnosis here – I’m seeing a Dr. as soon as I get my Med. insurance from work this week – but are there any of you that might be knowledgable enough to know what this sounds like? Should I be a little worried, or very?
Hemorrhoid?
Cancer?
Help!
