Can hospitals run the tests I need?

Question

Had some light spotting when wiped last night. Of course I freaked out. And intermittent cramping past couple days. It's Sunday so my doctors is closed. But can I go to the ER and get an ultrasound and blood tests? Do they do that? Iv had a past blighted ovum last year so obviously I'm more than worried. Although this morning I did not see more spotting. But I'd love peace of mind.

Answer

If you are not having significant pain or fever or other severe symptoms, you are better off waiting for your OB to be available. ED docs can order the testing and you might get your answers but as difficult as it is to wait, this is technically not emergent and you may not get the full attention and workup you need. An OB is much more focused on these needs compared to an ED doc.
