It never ends. 1 day I go out for a lovely walk with the wife and our new pet Riot. The next a day shopping with the kids. All of a sudden without notice I colapse in a parking lot. My wife and children all witness this event. I'm sure it scared them. As they help me back to my feet I am dizzy and embarrased. I call my Doctor and of course his office is closed on Fridays. So I go to the ER just to make sure I am ok. They take my vitals. Bp is good. Pulse elevated but I am stable. The EKG looks good. A cat scan is performed Followed by a blood test. After a hr waiting for results I felt it was safe to say Im ok. If not Im guessing I would be chatting with a Doctor by now. I am told it may take as much as six hours to get my results. So I reply you have my phone number? The nurse says yes. I said call me if I'm going to die. Im going home to rest. I was shocked by the reply. She said I will call u if anything bad is discovered and my results will be sent to my Doctor. So home I went and I rested. I never did get a call from the nurse. So I guess I'm going to live. And that people is how great are new medical system works. If u stay at the hospital for 6 hours your at risk of getting sick from all the flu patients. Maybe we would all be better off if we just don't bother going to the hospital when we are having health issues? Just stay home and rest and pray.
