23. Go see a Doctor and demand an upper GI Series

Mrs Throckmorton had symptoms much like you describe. After 4 months of visits to the quack at the local walk-in clinic she was finally hospitalized. Verdict, esophageal cancer, stage 4, she was 39 at the time.

The gastrointerologist that took on her case was horrified that the quack had never done a single GI series. Said quack just prescribed one drug after another. When one didn't work, he would try something different. This went on for 4 months, one day she was so weak she had to go to the emergency room, and was admited within 2 hours. Thats when we found out about the tumors.
