Can i get chest x ray without prescription since i can't get hold of my gastroenterologist after colonoscopy with biopsy. i am having lungs pain?

Go to an ED: Michael, if you can't get your GI to answer you will need to see a physician to get an order for a chest xray. It is conceivable that you could have a punctured bowel or lung and this is very dangerous. It is also possible you just have a collection of gas stuck in there, but no way to tell without an x-ray. Good luck and don't delay!

Usually not.: If you are having chest pain, go to ER. Sometimes, abdominal conditions, such as possible perforation in your case, can cause chest pain. ER can do evaluation, including xrays if necessary.

No.: Always need prescription if insurance pays. Some places may do it if you pay for it yourself, but this is unethical. Need to have a doctor to send the results and follow up.
