Does no insurance mean no Dr. will care enough to figure out whats wrong with me

What do I do? After 6 mo of having symptoms I could no longer ignore, I went to the local hospital emergency room,which coincidentally I had insurance with all through my childhood. My pains was so bad the er seemed to make sense. Not really. I sat there for 13hours and was sent home after the dr spoke to me for 10 minutes and offered me prilosec w no testing for a ulcer.3 years later what ever it is isnt an ulcer.Ive been doing tons of online research since I seem to be doctoring myself better than the drs. After that first ER visit with no relief another year goes by. The pain is bad, and I have fainting and seizures happening now. I go to another ER same thing sent away w no real concern or help. Long story short I ve been to 6 drs and am getting more and more sick with weird symptoms and I just dont know what to do anymore. I think I have a blood born parasitic infection. Its painful and not pretty please have a suggestion.

Hi, no answer from me, sorry... but I noticed you are on the Sacramento area. Which hospital did you go to? I would suggest to maybe try UC Davis Med Certer or Sutter. If you went to Mercy San Juan... um.... let's just say the hospital itself is good if you get admitted, but their ER leaves a LOT to be desired. Good luck. I hope they figure out what is bothering you. Make sure you tell the Dr. what you think it may be, and ask to be tested. Also, when you go to the registration window, ask for forms to fill out to get lowered costs for your visit.
