So wanna hear about my 16 hours in the ER of our county hospital

Posted by eag (aka eag) Oct 9 '09, 15:30

So for the last 4 days ive had verry bad chest and adominal pain. Of course I have acid reflux disease so its not uncommon foir me to have pains. Except I was having the worst pains ever had and the zantac wasnt working. So my mom took me to county hospital. Which is where you go when your poor and jobless and no insurance. So after waiting for like 11 hours im finally seen. They do chest xrays ,ekg,ultrasound ,blood test and stool sample. The results ... jusr really bad heatburn and acid reflux. They give me some yucky spearmint crap that almost instantly stops my stomach pains well for at least 2 hours and numbs my throat. They change me from zantac to prilosec and tell me to take malox max. Spent another 4 hours at the pharmacist trying to get my prescription. But gave up on that. My Mom went CVC and got the malox and prilosec. I took a nap eat a bit and thats how its gone the last 24 hours for me.
