Sure.: I assume that you are referring to a HIDA scan that revealed an ejection fraction of 6%. This would be consistent with consideration for cholecystectomy. Abdominal pain can be relieved by narcotics. For any greatly increased pain associated with fever, nausea, vomiting or jaundice, an ER visit would be warranted.
