A nurse told me that if emergency running tests has not found anything fatal in 6 months then odds are chest/gut pain is not fatal any truth to that?

The Worst Healthcare: If you do not have a primary care family physician you are cheating yourself of good health care going to the emergency room for chronic problems is expensive and is likely to miss most of the common problems causing your symptoms. It is foolish and it is dangerous to assume that 'emergency running tests' is in any way accurate or overall all you need for diagnosis and treatment. Go to your doctor.
