When would you go to the hospital for bleeding? I have a subchronic hematoma and have been bleeding bright red for hours with pain. I know bleeding comes with this issue but the bleeding won’t stop and is alarming. I just want to make sure everything is okay! Anyways, My doctor told me on the hotline last night not to go to the er unless I could fill a shoe up with blood or a pad. They didn’t offer me to come to the office to be checked out or anything. I’m just annoyed. I get these things clear up I just can’t believe I have to be bleeding out into a shoe before I should go “in”. -.- always I have a very sharp pain in the left side of my stomach and I’m just tired of the run around with my doctor. Should I call back today?
