She's had a cramp around her stomach area for a few days now. This morning (it's 7:30am here) she woke up and threw up. She says the pain's worse too

My grandmother died because she ignored similar symptoms. I wouldn't take the chance.

Not sure how that even works on house calls. I'm sure she'd need bloodwork and maybe x-rays, a Covid test for sure, only so much you can tell from a physical exam.

That is their job so screw them for being angry.

I would call them anyway just to check her out.

Where is the pain located?

I mean low could be appendix

Higher could be intestinal blockage, or even a gas cramp.

You could call an advice nurse or medical help line and get them to give advice on how to determine if it is something serious.

Damn bro I really hope it isn't anything super super serious. And for sure try frickin EVERYTHING to convince her to get it checked out. I get that she might be afraid of the truth, of what the diagnosis may be and that's why she might not want to go but the earlier she can find out what's up the better chances she'll have if it does end up something serious.

Best of luck to you and her man.

The pain is relatively low. It's similar to cramps she's had in past years, usually in winter and caused/exacerbated by lifting something heavy

I think the helpline just closed, since they only operate when the doctors aren't open and it just went past 8am. Maybe phone the doctor and ask what the receptionist thinks?

@teepan95

If she has no money, tell her to leave her ID at home and when asked for her SSN tell them she doesn't know it. If asked about her address, living with friends and doesn't know the address yet. For phone, doesn't have one.

They have no legal way to do anything over any of this and will have to treat her regardless.

If it is her appendix she could die, so make her go.

I live in Germany. Money for healthcare isn't a problem.

She's resting right now, in a bit I'll ask her who her new GP is and phone them. Our old GP recently closed and I don't know who she now goes to

dont call paramedic cos it takes them off the road. take your mom to emergency at local hospital. they should do all the tests they need at once. then take their report to your gp and they can send you to the specialist you need.

going through a gp will just prolong the process.

My Grandpa died last night from lung cancer.

He suspected he had cancer, but kept it secret for a year, and only went to the hospital when he couldn't hide it anymore. That was, at most, 3 weeks ago.

We're gonna be haunted by the idea that maybe it didn't have to go down this way if he only spoke up and went to the doctor.

That sucks man. My mother has been sick for about two years now because of mistreatment following emergency care when her intestine burst. I hope she gets better, or that you can actually convince her to go to the doctor.

I'll tell you this.

After seeing firsthand what terminal cancer reduces you to, I'd get my affairs in order and then commit suicide rather than ride it out to the end.

People in that situation ought to be legally allowed to be euthanized if they choose to.

My dad came over and dropped off some Thai balm he swears by. She used it and is feeling a lot better now.

I'm starting to feel worse: I had something flu-like over the past few days (no typical CoVID symptoms though) and I'm not yet fully recovered. Starting to feel crazy tired

We do, but they're all on my dad's side. Since the divorce my mum, while being perfectly civil and friendly to that side of the family, has been loath to ask them for any sort of help (except my dad himself, and even then somewhat grudgingly).

I'm glad things are a bit better.. if you feel up to it, maybe you could talk to your dad's side of the family about what your mom is going through?
