Questions from Roanoke patients.
When is abdominal pain a real emergency?
If pain is severe, getting worse, or paired with fever, vomiting blood, inability to keep fluids down, or pain spreading to the chest or back, it's time to be seen. When in doubt, come in.
What's the difference between food poisoning and something more serious?
Food poisoning usually improves within 24–48 hours. Pain that's localized, worsening, or accompanied by fever or bleeding needs evaluation to rule out appendicitis, gallbladder disease or other causes.
Can a freestanding ER evaluate appendicitis symptoms?
Yes. We have on-site CT and ultrasound to evaluate for appendicitis and other surgical causes of abdominal pain, and we coordinate transfer for surgery when needed.
Will I need surgery?
Most GI emergencies don't require surgery and can be treated with fluids, medication and monitoring. If imaging or labs suggest a surgical cause, we'll coordinate transfer to the appropriate facility.
Do you treat dehydration from a stomach bug?
Yes. IV fluids and anti-nausea medication typically bring fast relief, often within the same visit.
