Default Medical profession dicrimination

Has anyone else on here that suffers Chronic Pain,been dicriminated against by the "so called" medical prfessionals.A few years ago I had gone into a Hospital claiming I was having intense abdominal pain.When I told them I was on Chronic Pain management,thinking they would take me more seriously ,considering I should not be feeling any pain at all.I sat in a lobby 4 days strait for up to 13hrs.waiting to be seen.I was never seen.After the 4th day I finally came to the realization that the woman at the desk just thought I was looking for drugs, and I would eventually give up and go away.So I went to my primary physician finally,and was rushed strait to surgery from her office.I was having an acute Gallbladder attack.By the time I finally got in the hospital,I was almost in complete organ failure.I was in intensive care for 9 days and had to recieve 5 blood transfusions just to get the poison out of my body.This is not the only time this has happened.Does anyone know of any organizations I can join to make the Medical community more aware of the fact they are potentially killing patients,by discriminating against them ??
