Talk to others around you how AIDS has made you a better person.

find and closet and check inside

if TV has taught me anything, it's that there's at least a 50% chance someone's having sex in there

5/18/2011 10:26:16 PM

blow a snot rocket on your cheek and time it to see how long it takes to dry

ask the desk wench for a phone book and then use it for a pillow and take a nap

5/18/2011 10:28:25 PM

keep hacking and scratching and see how people react

Better yet, shred said phone book and stuff it in your clothes for insulatio, then use more shreds as a blanket

5/18/2011 10:50:37 PM

Which hospital are you at btw? And what's wrong with your fiancée?

5/18/2011 10:53:24 PM

Imagine shapes out of the flecks in the linoleum

Make a rubber rooster out of a glove

Build a ‘log cabin’ with the tongue depressors

the veins at the base of her spine are crazy looking, She has a fever and all her joints hurt bad enough to have her pulse racing off the charts.
We have 2 iPhones and a laptop.

Duke hospital on campus

dude. time to start dropping the m word at the desk and speed things up a little.

[Edited on May 18, 2011 at 11:24 PM. Reason : meningitus? spinal?]

^wiki says that is associated with severe head ache and neck rigidity. Doesn't souund like sumfoo1's fiance's case

5/18/2011 11:27:57 PM

flu?

now this is like an episode of mystery diagnosis and i want to know the diagnosis! but i'm sure that will come at like 3AM.

good luck. i hope she is ok and it isn't too serious. AND that they can make her feel better.

5/18/2011 11:31:21 PM

^you sure you don't have these symptoms as well?

5/18/2011 11:32:39 PM

shockingly enough i have never found myself in the ER for my own symptoms

i am a self controlled hypochondriac!

5/18/2011 11:39:30 PM

Lol yeah 3-4 am is my guess too.

We think she is allergic to the "mesh" they inserted for her hiatal hernia surgery causing an auto immune reaction.

5/18/2011 11:43:26 PM

oh noes that isn't good.

not good at all

get you a coffee! or a nap pillow. or both?!

5/18/2011 11:46:08 PM

it's not meningitis if she can tolerate light.

5/18/2011 11:52:50 PM

it's crazy to me that she's having an allergic reaction and is still having to wait


you need to say she has lower right abdominal pain, stat

5/18/2011 11:55:21 PM

obligatory "dem guts" comment

5/19/2011 12:06:37 AM

Leave?

5/19/2011 12:11:02 AM

Aaaaaand in typical er fashion here are some digs for the pain, here are some drugs for the swelling find someone who cares.

5/19/2011 3:28:00 AM

you thought you were going to get something else?

5/19/2011 4:43:04 AM

what did they say it was? that is cray cray!! did they not think it was the allergic reaction? do you still think it is?

i've had 3 impressive experiences with the duke er

So? Say you think you have that and it instantly bumps you up the triage list

5/19/2011 7:30:19 AM

It would also put you first in line for a spinal tap.

5/19/2011 7:35:54 AM

Set off the fire alarm.

5/19/2011 7:36:33 AM

"desk wench" LMFAO

5/19/2011 8:27:21 AM

I've had to go to the ER with my gf twice in the past year. It's boring as fuck. Luckily I took my Nintendo DS with me (hadn't played it in years) but there is only so much Donkey Kong you can play before you just wanna go home.

5/19/2011 9:34:07 AM

I hear they have these things called books. You can read them places.

Some of them are supposedly entertaining.

5/19/2011 9:38:26 AM

That sounds scary! I hope sending her home was the right decision. good luck sumfoo1 fiancé.

5/19/2011 9:53:03 AM

I hate hospitals for this very reason. In addition to the terrible service you (or your insurance) will now be receiving a bill for $1200. It's really a surprise anybody pays.
