Solid food feels stuck in throat. will er do an endoscopy? can't see dr for 2 weeks. safe to wait? and can i get by on jello and pudding for 2 weeks

No: No, the ER will not do an endoscopy unless it is an emergency. It is safe to wait as long as you do not have sudden onset of pain or worsening pain, difficulty breathing or chest pain. You will lose a lot of weight eating just jello and pudding. I would recommend eating more protein and carbs which can be puree'd, or try greek yogurt, softer foods, etc to maintain your calorie intake.
