[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 205374"] Wynter and I arrive for our appointment and M, the receptionist/secretary/nurse, was running around a bit crazy and went next door to the Urgent Care place (they share a building) and reappeared a few minutes later with a bottle of something. A few minutes later a middle aged man appears, an older man appears and M asks if the older man is driving...which he was. Then she said, "Straight to the ER. No stops!!!" She repeated this at least 5 times loudly across the office as the men walk out the door. Turns out the man was having a heart attack. His blood pressure was 220/something and abnormal EKG. He refused to go by squad. And he was wanting to go home before going to the ER to change his clothes. :crazy2: (Yeah, I know...so much for HIPPA, but I'm a fixture there and I didn't know his name and with my cognitive issues couldn't even pick him out of a line up). They were all a little stressed in the office. I told M that I would probably keel over in the shower because I have to take a shower before going to the hospital. You never know how long you might end up in there and bathing doesn't happen often in the hospital. She just shook her head at me and laughed. But, honestly...if my BiPolar (BP) was that high, EKG abnormal and my GP wanting to call the squad....I wouldn't argue and insist on going home to change clothes. *shakes head* [/QUOTE]
