IT Finnaly Happened.
Friday I was in the emergency room at our local hospital and this conversation took place.
"Well Mr. Wilson let me feel your stomache." (not so muffled scream as he pushed on my stomach) "Well maybe I shouldn't do that again." Me; "Ya Doc maybe you shouldn't do that again." Doc: "Well Mr wilson you have a severe pain in your stomach."
I wonder if he really thought I didn't know it was me that was screaming in agony.
Anyway after seven hours in the ER, blood tests, and a CatScan the diagnoses was that they couldn't rule out the gall bladder ( the guy running the ultra sound was not working). The heart was still working (had a pulse). Might be an ulcer because there might be an abnormality in the stomach. The Cat Scan reader guy was also gone, go see a specialist. Prognoses: Here is some pain pills . You should live until Monday when you are able to get to some other doctor.
Oh for the good old days when the family doctor diagnosed you with a disease, you died from that disease(becauseHe was usally also the county coroner).
