Next, he said he was going to call in some oral steroids for me to make the rash go away. I told him I can't take them because oral steroids give me heart fibrillations. He then said he was going to give me a topical steroid. I told him it would have to cover 75% of my body. That's when he told me to go to the ER, so I could get IV steroids instead.

Do I have this straight? He wanted you to take steroids, you explained why you can't, so he recommended steroids, and when you pointed out a problem with that he told you to take steroids?

Sounds to me like what you really need is a different doctor.

Thankfully, he's only the doctor on call, and not my regular hematologist.

On call doctors, at least in my experience, don't seem to have the same patient/doctor relationship as your normal one would.  It's almost like they know they aren't gonna see you again.
