ParticipantI know you will make one anyway)yeah, I know Greg, why would a hospital believe me. Well, the reality is that it’s, well, real! I went to a nearby local hospital just outside Austin. they let me collapse and would not take me into the E.R. until my wife filled out ALL the forms. I heard part of that and got furious and mustered up enough energy to stand up and I asked my wife to take me into Austin. On the way the chest pain went into jaw pain,, I couldn’t breathe and was getting delirious (no comment please Greg )I didn’t think I could make it. I didn’t think it was a heart attack because asthma can cause similar symptoms. And I figured it was pleurisy (which it was) because that can cause the lungs to rub against the chest wall and cause heart attack like pain. Anyway, she stopped at the next local hospital because she had trouble getting me to say anything. Anyway, I could not get enough strength to even sit up on the back seat of the truck. The triage nurse kicked me and said “Well, we’re not going in there to get you”. I told him if I died here they would find a way to get me out. Lizzie helped me into a wheel chair and this guy took me in with my feet dragging on the ground. Right to the check in station. I collapsed in the chair and was taken into the ER. They did an oxygen sat while another nurse set up an ECG and got oxygen and this nurse said “well your oxygen sat is 99 so you obviously do not have trouble breathing, you must be diabetic (which I am not).He was really rude and sarcastic and flipped my medical ID bracelet over but never bothered to look at it. That was the end!. I sat up ribbed the ECG leads off, ripped the BP cuff off and other things and the other nurse tried to stop me. She almost went through the wall. Adrenaline was no flowing. They said “you can’t leave”. And of course I told them to try to stop me. I grabbed for my shirt, scared the s… out of everyone and ripped people’s hands off my body and got out of there. Poor Lizzie. I had her take me home. Yeah, Ii went home, to bed, took a lot of pain meds and fell asleep. Anyone who knows medicine at all knows that a person having even severe asthma can have normal oxygen sat which is why you don;t give oxygen to them unless it is so serious that there is no choice. Oh yeah, this one nurse at hospital #2 told me “this is why you are supposed to call 911”. I told him there is no statute that requires that. I am have not yet finished with these two animal farms. OK, yes, I am stubborn and I can be pushed over the edge easily enough in cases like this, but I studied enough medicine to know that no one should be treated that way. The local beer joint would be my next choice. It was interesting to say the least.
