don't laugh.
My dad convinced me to goto the main hospital here for cardiac problems as if there was a problem, that's where the best doctors for heart are. We have a local hospital here though but decided to go big.
I got there - and had an EKG and blood pressure test within probally 5 mins or less of checking in. the doctor looked at it within 2 more minuits and told the nurse to tell me I wasn't in any immediate danger but he def needed to talk to me. The nurse said it would be an hour or two.
Here's where it gets fucky. 3 hours later i noticed about 6 ambulances pull in with patients. I ask the desk clerk and she said they were mostly cardiac and she had no idea now how long it would be for me to see the doctor. could be upwards of 10 hours... I left.
I'm going to my doctor tomorrow and getting another EKG and blood test from him.
yesterday when i got home i was really tired and slept from about 8pm till 10am this morning... i feel a little better today but i'm really week. I've always been and felt very physically strong - and i feel week as a kitten. i'm not straining myself today and just basically waiting to go see my doctor tomorrow to see what this is. I'm hoping it's the flu or something but with the shortness of breath, arm pains and some chest pain I can't ignore a possible cardiac problem....
my doctor gave me shit for going to Winnipeg and told me I should have asked him - my bad. He thought I'd was just going to see the nurses here - which would have got my chart and he could have called me that night with the results. He said never go to that hospital unless by ambulance. If by ambulance i'm under his care and things work better. I learned my lesson. He offered to stay after work today and see me (he's a personal friend) but I told him i'd be ok till tomorrow. He stressed just to not exert myself till i know and since i'm actually closer to the hospital here where I live then where I had to park and go to the emergency room in the city I don't feel unsafe....
they said in winnipeg if it was an emergency they would have kept me, but the doctor did want to see me.... I just wasn't going to keep my parents for another 10 hours there - and I didn't feel I had the right to pull any doctor out of an emergency for my problems.
