I have a feeling you know little of obituaries. (Score 1)

"It seems like you keep jumping around to all the different ER's in the area... What does your actual Doctor think of everything that is going on? You do have a family doctor, right? Keep this up and the next /. post is going to be your Obituary." Wow, I can't believe this has a score of 3. I'm going to try to not let this offend me personally. Although, I could see it offending a great many people, because you are speaking from a deficit of factual information. I've been to see a lot of doctors. What do you do when one literally walks out of the room while you are talking to him? Would you make another appointment and pay the $70+ to have him do it again? You don't know this man's situation. He's well spoken, and seems to be well-read on his condition. Someone before commented that doctor-shopping sets off red flags, what really sets of red flags is an intelligent patient. Doctors, in general, do not appreciate that at all. And just like many here, assume you must be a hypochondriac because you took the time to read about why you feel so bad constantly. It's a position of ignorance, but doctors should know better and be able to tell the difference. I've been blown off by doctor's numerous times. It gets to a point where they just say "That's all I can do," and (literally) walk out on you. I don't stick with doctors who do that. It's pointless, a waste of time and money. I think you should think carefully before you propose to understand his situation and tell him he is playing games with his health. If anything, the doctors who won't run as many tests as he wants and can reasonably afford are playing with his health.
