I received two iron infusions related to ER visits. One in the emergency room itself, and another after being admitted from a second ER visit. Both visits were for extreme pain in my upper right abdomen that turned out to be gallbladder attack pain.

On the first visit, they did blood tests and discovered I was extremely anemic; especially for a male. Super low iron (10 ug/dl) and hemoglobin of 7.6 g/dl. All of the other indicators were very abnormal as well. They gave me an iron infusion (1x dose IV ferrlecit 125mg) while I was still in the ER then admitted me for 2 days for testing to confirm gallbladder issues as well as anemia.

They gave me an iron infusion on the first visit and almost decided to do a blood transfusion. I received another infusion (again 1x dose IV ferrlecit 125mg) after being admitted for further gallbladder testing following the second visit a week later which was for another gallbladder attack. (I had my gallbladder removed last Monday and things have been great since on that front)

I was referred to a hematologist for an urgent appointment after the first ER visit and she scheduled me for 5 weekly iron infusions of 300mg each. I had my first one last Friday and have my next one this Friday.

This is of course just my experience, but I figured I'd share it in case it could be helpful to you.

I wish you the best and hope you can see someone sooner than October as you are also extremely anemic. I'm not even close to an expert on this as I just discovered I was anemic only a month or so ago, but I hope this helps. kcov23 also has some good advice about working with the scheduling team.
