grrr migraines and concussions.

7/3/2009 1:56:40 PM

Damn son.

7/3/2009 1:57:22 PM

people come in b/c they pulled a muscle...wtf

if you are dying or in extreme pain go to the er...if not go to a fucking regular doctor

7/3/2009 1:58:31 PM

be prepared to wait for 3 hours while parents bring in their kids to get checked out for no less than the common cold.

7/3/2009 1:58:54 PM

SWINE FLU SON.

7/3/2009 1:59:21 PM

i was there for 5 hours the other day for my concussion....ugh

i went to check out and they were like, yay someone is paying for once! i didn't know not paying your co-pay was an option.....

7/3/2009 2:00:36 PM

they can't turn you away for not paying is my understanding

7/3/2009 2:01:26 PM

i don't think the ER posts on tww.

7/3/2009 2:01:57 PM

well i have no insurance now so i can't pay...filed for medicaid yesterday woot

unemployment sucks

7/3/2009 2:02:40 PM

^^^ Yeah, it's especially useful for people with no money who are trying to get some drugs from the ER doctor.

7/3/2009 2:02:42 PM

isn't our healthcare system great

7/3/2009 2:04:54 PM

i am dreading it...the people in there for stupid shit i just want to smack.

i'm in extreme pain and can't take any medicine w/o puking....gtf out of my way with your allergies

get a 2nd degree burn -- then you'll be in and out within 2 hours, and in the actual ER part within 10 minutes

7/3/2009 2:05:58 PM

^^ That's what's great about the ER son. If you can't eat pills they can just give you a little IV dilaudid instead son.

7/3/2009 2:06:17 PM

the time i went before for this they gave my IV drugs b/c i couldn't take pills <3 good stuff, but i'll have to take a cab home this time and i've never been in a cab

7/3/2009 2:08:08 PM

better today than tomorrow

tomorrow it's gonna be full chock-a-block with rednecks with burn and explosion-related injuries

7/3/2009 2:09:03 PM

just smoke some weed. it's good for nausea.

7/3/2009 2:09:42 PM

^^this is true, good thinking

[Edited on July 3, 2009 at 2:10 PM. Reason : ^^]

7/3/2009 2:09:53 PM

how about you stop posting on TWW and go to the ER already

7/3/2009 2:10:34 PM

i'm trying to stall in case someone needs to pick me up. i really don't want to go again, i was just there for my concussion and waited for 5 hours....ugh okay i'm going now. be back at midnight probably.

7/3/2009 2:12:31 PM

weak

7/3/2009 2:13:35 PM

this girl is a frequent customer at the ER

and she complains about people going in for stupid shit

7/3/2009 3:43:11 PM

Get them to give you some Ondansetron.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondansetron

If you cannot take that sublingually and slowly swallow the dissolved pill (whether it's the easy dissolving kind or the standard kind) and feel better I would wager that there's a fair chance that you're going to die. I keep at least a few of these around at all times now because they make it so I can avoid having to go to the ER (where I am charged $50/pill for two pills plus fees for being in a bed in the ER for 6 hours while I try to stop vomiting, etc). Super cost effective.

I, too, hate the people who are in the ER for nonsense reasons as well. I was put in a side room (last time I had to go @ thanksgiving when a wonderful family brought their wonderful baby that had the poxaids stomach flu) with some guy who was just so sure that he had to have something wrong with him. Oh I must have the flu... Or a cold... Maybe a sinus infection... Maybe it's sciatica can we test for that... Check for diabetes, I peed twice today... If I wasn't too weak to do much besides make bad jokes I would've tried to ask him what the hell his deal was. I think he was just trying to skip work and wanted them to write something (anything) down on the discharge forms so he could take a few days off.

I also lol at the people who bring their kids to the ER. Seriously, go to an urgent care center. If you don't have insurance, $75 is a lot cheaper than $0 + huge goddamn unpayable debts that kick your credit in the face (although I admit I'm unfamiliar with how hospitals handle families that have income but cannot afford to pay for ER fees).

7/3/2009 4:13:18 PM

what, are you kidding? this is the south and you are truly a rube if you don't have your own personal vehicle to ride around in stinking up the planet. plus shes a girl who gets plenty of attention from guys so im sure she's never needed a ride home from a bar.

7/3/2009 4:27:51 PM

^your posts lately seem to indicate that you are on a huge alpha-bitch tirade right now

7/3/2009 4:29:54 PM

thats sweet, thepeter, but i'm just tired and depressed right now

7/3/2009 4:33:36 PM

i'm tired and depressed

but you don't see me being a bitch

just sayin'

7/3/2009 4:37:49 PM

well then it seems like you need to something about that. at least the weekend is here!

7/3/2009 4:38:08 PM

yay for having to work all weekend while everyone else is out partying! hope rachelmarie doesnt have to

[Edited on July 3, 2009 at 4:39 PM. Reason : holiday pay at least]

7/3/2009 4:38:46 PM

is it really ALL weekend? is it???

7/3/2009 4:40:46 PM

7/3/2009 4:53:19 PM

i guess i have a chance at doing something interesting tonight but after running around for 8 hours on concrete i usually just want to go home and sleep. i work 12-9 tomorrow so no fireworks or cookouts for me

7/3/2009 4:58:39 PM

i hope you went and got lipo wit da money

7/3/2009 5:38:26 PM

my friend told me she'd only been in a cab once in her life and she's 26. I was all wtfin'.
Even if you have your own car, you'd think you'd ride in cabs for going out and stuff.

7/3/2009 6:15:50 PM

Before a couple of weeks ago I had only been in a cab like twice, which was when I went to New Orleans.

I guess the rest of us 'non-cab' people just designate a DD and pass it on each time.

7/3/2009 6:19:45 PM

9 hours-new record. i just woke up feeling the same as yesterday. when morphine doesn't help you, you know you are screwed

7/4/2009 8:02:24 AM

7/4/2009 9:38:36 AM

what the fuck is wrong with you? if you're so fucked up, schedule an appointment with a neurologist or something instead of continuing to go to the er so you can bitch about it on TWW.

7/4/2009 11:10:05 AM

i stopped going to the emergency room after the 4th concussion... they really can't do anything for you other than make you wait around, and after about an hour or two give you an MRI to conclude you have no substantial brain damage...

7/4/2009 11:17:06 AM

ronny...she can't go to a neurologist w/o any insurance. no one will take her. its a business afterall

7/4/2009 11:25:38 AM

7/4/2009 11:45:29 AM

^no insurance

7/4/2009 11:53:58 AM

^then why are you paying your co-pay?

i had insurance until the 1st of this month...the last time i went was the last day i could use the insurance from my old job. insurance-less now until school starts and i can get insurance through NCSU.

7/4/2009 12:02:39 PM

When you have insurance, go see a neurologist. In the mean time, try aspirin or tylenol. That might help with the migraine. When you have insurance, ask your doctor for some Imitrex, that stuff works wonder on migraine.

See if this is an option.

7/4/2009 12:44:05 PM

hey hgtran...do the pharmacies still have that wake county discount card they did back in 2007. I used to work in a pharmacy and it gave a discount equivalent to the AAA discount.

7/4/2009 2:17:12 PM

Hope you're not in Carteret County. If you are, you will die in that hospital.
