I have nothing but sympathy all around, for you. I have gallstones and had to suffer through idiot doctors never running the right tests, and the pain, and all that jazz. Hang in there. I know you don't want to eat anything and you're nauseated, but *please* make sure you're still drinking... dehydration on top of the pain is really the pits.
I'm glad you have an ultrasound scheduled... I know it seems like an eternity, but once they do that, they should be able to tell practically immmediately if that's what's wrong.
I also second Angela, as someone who used to work in a hospital... there's no excuse for that doctor's behavior, and he SHOULD be reported to the hospital. It may be that nothing disciplinary will come of it, but the hospital should be aware that one of their staff is treating patients poorly. I can't BELIEVE that they gave you Pepcid, which is completely USELESS for gallbladder issues and even for nausea, and that he refused to do any further testing. What a prick. Report him.
