Glad all is well with you now, however, as others have said, take care of yourself and don't put off getting help. Get a specialist to check you out and stay on top of your situation. God Bless. Ken Sweet

I think the OP's point was ...given the new health care bill which takes 500 Billion dollars away from Medicare patients and gives it to Medicaid patients we can expect less treatment when we go to the ER...It is a proven fact that Medicaid patients and the uninsured use the ER for runny noses etc. and think 911 is a Taxi service...Sad situation indeed. Anyone see the movie " Soylent Green " ? Get ready...all these sci fi movies are coming true.

Good news, just got back from my doctor and all the hospital results were faxed to him... Just a nerve infection but looks like I'm going back on blood pressure meds again.

Jeez, If I had symptoms like that why not call 911?
Emergency rooms in my area are like wait clinics. You come in with the fire department or an ambulance, you GET emergency care.

Good deal!
I have to second the thought about the pick the ER you go to...
As some here know, I have been working on paving my driveway with kidney stones...
and I know where to go for that.. twice in the last 6 months I have had attacks....
At the ER of choice, I am taken back and treated in less than 20 minutes.
At the ER of closest proximity, it once took them an hour and a half to just take me back. that time was so serious they admitted me for 4 days...
(BTW- this was at midnight on a Sunday and there was only 1 other patient!!)
So follow the advice about picking an ER....
It does matter....
Later,
J

You're lucky you didn't fall over on your wife and die the next day. I've had several retired friends that did that. One fell on his wife in church. Died two days later. Another fell on his wife in the grocery store. Died a few days later. Another kept telling his wife something was wrong... for several months. Fell over on her in the house and died within a few days.
You are lucky it was not a stroke, but foolish to have left the E.R. without a diagnosis.
