bumping this shit to share my experience from last night!
i had to go to the ER last night and i got an IV in my right wrist, then it wasnt working because my veins were too small because i hadnt eaten or drank anything in two days but they shot me up with three shots of saline, which started to kill after the second shot, then they tried to take blood but nothing would come out so that killed so they decided to take blood out of my upper arm and surprise, nothing would come out! so they finally got blood from my LEFT arm and put an IV in my left hand, and pumped me with two more shots of saline, that shit is ridiculous. so after taking four BOTTLES, i kid not you, like fucking jones soda size bottles, out of my left arm, they took four more bottles from my right hand. those four bottles added onto the four viles of blood they took earlier. what the FUCK. so i finally thought i was done, but they came in and wanted a strep test, so they stabbed me in the throat while im trying not to gag.
but no, not done yet. they had to get a FLU TEST. whos ever heard of a flu swab? i havent. basically they shove this HUGE swab up your nose and it makes your eye water and you feel like you have a bloody nose/have you sneeze for hours after.
then they had to do menegistis tests because they thought i had it, thankfully i dont have the bacterial kind, but i might have the viral kind. great. not sure if i have mono/menengitis/or strep yet. i find out today. coool.
and all the while this was happening, there was a senial 93 year old woman, trashed, next door who had a broken knee who was screaming. they had to call the cops to restrain her and sedate her. an hour later she woke up screaming again saying she was going outside to smoke a cigg and how she was going to 'kick the cop in the penis.' that part was hilarious.
some antics from the lady next door include..
her: IM GOING OUTSIDE TO SMOKE A CIGG!
nurse: oh yah? how are you going to get out there? walk?
her: DONT TOUCH MY FEET, DONT TOUCH MY SOCKS
nurse: why?
her: MY SAVINGS ARE IN THERE, IVE GOT RIGHTS YA KNOW
her: IVE ONLY HAD TWO DRINKS!
nurse: try about 53 drinks..
her: hahahahaha
(when the cops came to tie her down and sedate her)
her: YOU CANT TIE ME DOWN, THEY ONLY TIE DOWN RETARDED PEOPLE, AND IM NOT RETARDED
her: YOU LITTLE SHIT IF YOU TIE ME DOWN ILL KICK YOU IN THE PENIS (to the cops)
and my nurse was telling me a story about last week they got these two women, about a half hour after eachother, and one was convinced she was god and the other was convinced she was the devil. not thinking, they put them in rooms next to eachother. once 'god' found out that the 'devil' was in the room next to her, she wasnted to go and speak to her. and vice versa. bahahaha. aw i wish i was there for that.
