Hello CarrieJ,
I’m not sure where you are from but it sounds like your aren’t in the US. In the US we handle those things a little differently as our medical system is set up a little different. Have you seen this doctor before? I would either go back and ask for more details (ie. a better explanation as to what is going on and why he wants to send you to the hospital or perhaps see another doctor. Be persistent until you have either found an answer that makes sense or you’ve found a doctor that is taking care of you problems.
I hope that helps.
Dr. Diana’s other half.
