The example of the woman who went three times before seeing a doctor and having a diagnosis made is a little silly - regardless of who sees the patient, it often takes repeat 1-2 repeat blood tests every 48 hours to figure out if the patient’s HCG level is rising enough or falling which is needed to help figure out whats going on [1]. The patient is often told to return to the ED for those return visits because its almost impossible to get seen by an Ob-Gyn in that timescale, and the main concern is to not miss a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
