Emergency Room Adventures of the Non-TV Kind

Tuesday night I was admitted to the hospital.

All day long I had been having severe chest pains, numbness/pricking in my left arm, and trouble breathing. My immediate thought was "Oh fuck, I'm having a heart attack" but I didn't do anything. I'm a mild hypochondriac, and my Dad's best friend had just suffered a heart attack a couple days before, so ( Read more... )

Wow, that sounds more exciting than all of my runs to the hospital. They usually just consist of my mom being drugged up and falling asleep every 5 seconds like yesterday. :P

Lol, why are all the hot ones always flirting with patients? They're such teases. xD

KIMBAAA! I MISS YOU, KIMBA! We need to hang out. Summer vacation starts in a week for me. And then I will be free to SKYPE MY ASS OFF. Until I get a summer job, that is. D8

Drugs = the best thing about the hospital. Trufax. XD

Jeez, that's pretty scary. My grandpa had a heart attack a few years ago, so I kind of understand what that's like...

But yes, as others have said, thanks for not dying :D

Yeah, mine too. It's even scarier when it's happening to someone you love than when you think it's happening to you. Is he alright?

But yes, as others have said, thanks for not dying :D
You're very welcome, it was my pleasure! XD

He passed a few years ago, of a failing liver, oddly enough. He spent his last moments with my grandma, so... I think he went peacefully.

I forgot to ask the first time I read this post (nearly a year ago LOL LATE NATHAN IS LATE), but why did they think you were pregnant and why would pregnancy result in symptoms similar to a heart attack?

(I know, I know, there are few things that complications from pregnancy can't result in. It still seems a little odd.)

Also, I've had female nurses hit on me. Which is a little creepy because they're usually in their late twenties and early thirties (read: about ten to fifteen years older than me). But also kind of awesome even beyond the fact that I do like older women.

LOLOL! It was hilarious to read this entry again after so long. Wow. GOOD TIMES?

I have no idea with they thought I might be pregnant or why it would have mattered. They asked if I was sexually active and I said no, but I guess they didn't believe me (I has a sluttish face?) because they made me piss in a cup without telling me why until afterward. Meaning I had to walk down the hall to the bathroom with my ass hanging out of a gown FOR NO FUCKING REASON. AWESOME.

I wish I'd had female nurses hit on me, you lucky boy. 83 older women ftw

I was told recently that I 'seem like' I would be a sexually active atheist, rather than an unconventionally-pious, shy virgin. WHAT THE FUCK.

without telling me why until afterward.

WHAT
WHAT
I AM AT A LIBERAL-ARTS COLLEGE FILLED WITH PRETENTIOUS SLUTTY PEOPLE AND THAT IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD.

oh, i know. older women ftmfw now and forever. i'd like any future sexcapades to be legal if at all possible, though.
