A CT was prescribed by my doctor at this visit, but CT scans are not available for nearly 3 weeks at Advocate, which is absurd.  The doctor indicated when asked I him about it on my chart that if I needed it sooner that I should go the the ER--which seems absurd that I waste the resources (mine and the hospital's resources of the ED.  He indicated that he wouldn't request it stat. I have been plagued by abdominal discomfort for over 2 weeks. i have had labs done and visited the Ravenswood and Wilson  office twice, taken lab results there twice (the 2nd time was because the original vials given to me were not the proper ones so the lab couldn't do the tests).  I'm trying to keep in good humor with a decent attitude, but am frustrated.
