How could a er dr refuse to trear someone that is in obvious pain from a migraine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: For example, it has been estimated that approximately 70% of migraine headaches overlie the sinuses and are triggered by changes in barometric pressure. These patients actually suffer from migraine, but usually are diagnosed with sinus or other headache and use over-the counter vasoconstrictor agents for relief. Miss-diagnostic of the migraine headache is very common.
