Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I have had 4 heart attacks.. two that hurt like a you know what! and two that didn't have pain .. just shortness of breath, nausea, and sweating like crazy. The only reason I went into the ER was because I couldn't get the shortness of breath under control even after a bolus of extra prednisone. They put me on a monitor and the nurse ran out .. and came back with the doctor .. he was watching the monitor and asked me .. how would rate your pain? I said .. what pain .. I just cant breathe! I had NO pain .. and he said .. well you are in the middle of a heart attack! So .. now I never know if it is just a bad asthma attack or a lupus flare or my blood sugar is too high or its another heart attack. I swear my body needs to come with a set of instructions!! It is like playing eenie-meenie-miney-mo .. if you guess wrong then out you go! I am not worried about leaving the ER against doctors orders. I have this set up with that hospital .. you see they killed me several years ago .. and through legal maneuvers they agreed to pay my hospital bills and I told them I would sue them and own half the hospital. So they can bill me all they want .. and I just send the bill back to their legal department and they take care of it. I think they thought they were getting a pretty good deal when they made that deal .. I truly believe I wasn't going to live very long .. lol .. I showed their butts!! They killed me .. now they get to pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
