So, you went to the ER for abdominal pain, which COULD have been appendicitis, cholycystitis, an ulcer, an aortic aneurysm or any one of a number of serious or potentially fatal conditions. You saw an Emergency physician and nurses ( who have to be available 24 hours a day seven days a week ).
You had lab work and a CT, a diagnostic tool that allows a pretty good shot an accurate diagnosis, rapidly and without say exploratory surgery or a 2 or three day hospital stay for observation (more lab work, more doctor exams etc).
And lucky for you nothing serious!

And your problem is?

Tell you what, NEXT time, take a tums or a Prilosec, wait a couple days and see if you survive, okay? That will save you a bundle.

I can tell you are irritated, but look through the posts. I don’t see anyone complaining that the problem is that health care professionals get paid too much. It’s not that, and I don’t think anyone’s saying it.
