OMG! In ER now 4 1/2 hours for what's suspected to be a hernia

[52]

Golf ball size lump/bulge poking out.  Hurts like hell!

Got pee sample taken and blood drawn. STILL in the lobby though. 

Funny thing is, only like 10 people here waiting over the last 5 hours.....wtf??

I'll update soon....I hope!!

-52-

Funny thing is, I wear a copper bracelet on my right arm.

They could not draw any blood from 2 places in my right arm or right hand, no blood would come out!

They then tried on my left arm ( no copper bracelet) , blood came out in 3 viles fine with no problem at all!!!!!

Weird. The nurses thought so too.

Dude if you can sneak up to the intensive care and take pictures of empty rooms and idled ventilators or dancing nurses that would be great

Or even a cute candy striper

Hope everything is OK.

8 hours later.....

Not serious, no complications, HURTS LIKE HELL!!

I Call tomorrow to make appointment with a surgeon to do some cutting.

Have script for percoset for pain....but still HURTS!!!

On a positive note, they gave me a Covid test.
I was NEGATIVE.  NO COVID!!

I'll update in the morning after I call surgeon.

Incase I don't make it, and I'm givin my last final wishes before I die, it will be I want to meet MO, hug her and kiss her.

Then I'll pass peacefully.

If you want to make the most of the pain overnight you could watch videos like this one on repeat, clockwork orange style. https://youtu.be/QMEIu4y2MRE

So they made you test for the CV then?

Did you read any paperwork to see if it was mandatory or something?

Did they tell you it was optional or anything??

[Mister Obvious]

Hernias are bad bro...

Did you lift something super heavy??

Don't do that, man.

[Mister Obvious]

You have to read everything carefully and be aware of what you're signing.

When you come in and you're all freaked out and in pain, that's when they get ya...

They hand you all that paperwork and you're so fucked up you just sign it all.

[Mister Obvious]

If they MAKE you test for the CV and there's nothing that says it's optional...

That means we're screwed. They'll make the vaccine mandatory if you want to receive care.

But with all the complications of the vaccine, it's dangerous to give it to sick people coming in there.

Hopefully that's not where this is going, but there truly is no reason that testing for the CV should be mandatory, especially if you're not being admitted for a hospital stay.

They're running a giant scam.

[52]

My appointment is on Monday for hernia. (???)

On the note of Covid test...

No, they did not give me any paperwork to read or sign. They just gave me one because they said I need to take one before any surgery. 
Not an option to say yes or no.

[52]

Oh, it happened shoveling heavy snow :(

[somethingelseishere]

Well that settles it! Fuck shoveling snow! Next time - blow torch!! ; )

[52]

Update:

Surgery on Wednesday  :(

[Mister Obvious]

Well at least you are getting it fixed fast, 52...

Some people go around with hernias for years.

this poor dude  died in pain , some evil witch nurse at the jail told him to shut up

died of hernia   , nurse thought he was just faking it to go to the ER so he could get more opiates
