Slipped and fell on protruding rock,

Probably from the shock my intestines got banged up and started closing, getting worse over time by running and jumping. Felt nothing weird inside until a little over two weeks ago as they suddenly shut up completely.
Waited about half a day (Saturday late afternoon/evening) before going to the ER after first symptoms showed up. X-ray'd, got some pills (stupid as they make no sense in this case, vomiting). Doctor said that it looked like an obstruction but he didn't take any action except the pills and sent me home.

Later that night symptoms kept becoming worse and Sunday afternoon I went back to the ER, X ray'd ... other doctor same conclusion, obstruction ... by now they had to have me on the CT scan for confirmation it wouldn't be something serious. But no, they put me on IV drip (3 bags) almost all night until early morning and sent me back home with ... pills. Dumb-asses!
Monday afternoon, back to the ER, this time other doctor again, he made a little closer guess and put up an enema ... put an IV and sent me back home later on with ... pills.

That night all changed as the balance in my abdomen changed through the enema. Now I had to burp every 20 seconds and vomit ever 15-30 minutes. Did this for a whole day, Tuesday, until Wednesday. Because everything that went in (water) had to come out the same way.Then we decided to go to the gastrointestinal dept. of the hospital. At least they decided to do a CT scan. Resulting in what they could have known from day one. Complete ileus (obstruction) of my small intestine. And as a bonus they said that there was a possible cancer in my large intestine. Anyways, not fun.
Then they said I to go to the ER again because there was no bed available for immediate treatment. At that point my wife decided to take advantage of her guanxi channel at the hospital I'm in now. In less than 3 hours I was transferred and in the ER of the Cheng Hsin General in Beitou, they almost immediately put a tube through my nose into my stomach to release all the 'juices' and air. Uncomfortable I can assure you but helpful. Next day, surgery. 7 days no food and drinks ... 2 days pain ...

I've never thought that ER doctors could be so useless. Making wrong decisions and half diagnoses. It's potentially life threatening and they sent me home with ... pills.

OP again. So, that's what medical care is like in Taiwan. You have a potentially fatal intestinal blockage, and they throw some completely useless pills at you and send you home. Then you go in again and they throw some more completely useless pills at you and send you home. Then you go in a third time and again they give you some more completely useless pills and send you home.

Then your wife (if you're lucky enough to have one) uses her connections ("guanxi") and gets you evaluated by a friend of a friend of a friend of ... etc., who discovers that you're gonna die if they don't perform surgery immediately.

Hell, they threw pills at me for my broken ribs, scapula, and clavicle after a motorcycle accident. And they didn't even spot the broken ribs or broken scapula on their X-rays, just the broken clavicle.

So, once again, just to reiterate the point, if you're stuck in Taiwan and need medical care, get your ass evacuated to Thailand, where at least you can pay for quality care at an "international" medical-tourism hospital like Bumrungrad.
