If i was called to this situation i would feel comfortable leaving him at home if that is what he wants. He is showing no signs of respiratory or cardiac distress at this time. His vitals are all stable and continue to remain stable during the intial assessment of the pt. With the hx that the pt presents with i would advise him on going to the er and at least getting an x-ray done maybe rule out a compression fx or a buldged disc. If he still refuses to go to the er technically i cant force him to go since he is Aand Ox3. If he was to ask what the ER would do for him I would explain that the ER can order some blood tests to rule anything out and also order an x-ray or an MRI to rule out any kind of injury he might have.

Is it possible for a dr to misdiagnose someone with gestational diabetes? I believe i have been misdiagnosed, especailly since all my sugars have been normal since i was told. My first diabetes dr openly admitted that she didnt know too much about gestatioal diabetes but still tried to tell me to cut back on the sugar.
