I recently went to a new family doctor. On my third visit I was having bad tremors of my entire body and high blood pressure. I became really dizzy and faint during the visit. I told her at one point my psychiatrist had put me on (Seroquel) a week before. She freaked, ranted about how stupid the other doctor was, insisted that I was in the midst of a bad reaction to the Seroquel, and called 911 to get me to a hospital. While waiting for EMS, I began to feel better, and told her I was okay. But when the EMS folks came, she practically forced me down on the stretcher, and said it was serious. I continued to improve during the ride to the hospital, and more once I got there. Once I saw the ER doc, I told him I thought the Seroquel was NOT the cause, as I'd been taking it for a week. He agreed with my conclusion I'd had a bad panic attack (everyone involved knew my history of them). I walked out with no treatment, but huge bills for the ER & ambulance. I was pissed. Do I have any recourse?
