Do you have any blood clots?
They didn't check this time but probably not. I'm more concerned with the idea that I might have an infection in one of my organs. White cells and platelets are pretty low and liver enzymes just keep shooting up. I have chills and fatigue more than I normally do.

I had salmonella come back positive 9 days ago but I can't see an infectious disease doctor till sometime next week.

While I do clearly have gallstones, theres a few things odd about that. I didn't have any present 3 months ago when I last had an abdominal CT and ultrasound and they tend to take a lot longer than that to form under normal conditions (and my gallstone is fairly large). The abnormal conditions would be billary infection. Additionally, gallstones don't account for elevated liver enzymes or low white cell count which is why I went to the ER in first place (at the request of my doctors). I left the hospital feeling pretty good about things but upon actually looking at the results and looking up gallstones they really didn't actually answer shit.

I kind of got the impression that the ER doesn't care unless I'm going to die within a few hours so even if this is a time sensitive infection and might kill me in a few weeks if not treated now, it's not currently dire enough for them to care, but I wonder how much of that is because they looked at the wrong results making it seem like I was stable.

My liver enzymes are going up quite fast too. At this rate they will be over 1000 by monday when I can see someone. It's so frustrating to me that doctors don't work weekends near here. Like, I need urgnet medical advice today, not 3 days from now and the ER doesn't do it, urgent care isn't specialized enough, and those are the only options until 3 days from now. Maybe I'll like, ask a on a medical reddit or something. Why is that my best option? I wish so badly that I just new a competent doctor personally that I could call whenever I had dire issues.
