Review for Dr. Kupperman

Came to the ER screaming in pain, could barely answer the intake questions. Dr was cracking jokes the whole time, which I would normally appreciate but not when I'm almost dying. Asked him word for word “Am I internally bleedning?” “nope”. Wouldn't do an ultrasound, just a bunch of painful X-rays....
