I asked her why she didn't bring this up with her PCP over the past 3 - 4
months she said she has been experiencing this? And reminded her we are not
medical professionals, she needs to see her PCP to rule out any cardiac
problems, and treat whatever the source is. The pain has worsened since she
stopped the 150 mcg/hr patch, and dropped to 75 mcg/hr, which makes me think
Costochondritis, which is certainly does not necessitate going to the ER.
This is just more of Lynn acting selfishly and not thinking of anybody's
needs outside of hers. Her reply to Jane in her "I'm really scared" thread,
clearly shows this. Totally bypassing the seriousness of Jane's questions,
to comment she was the joking about the 'butt' part. Well, it's no joke if
she is responsible for someone elses injuries or death, or in your scenario,
preventing someone from getting the true emergency treatment they need. With
her, I feel like I have been talking to a wall, I want to bang my head
against one in frustration. I don't expect she will pay any more attention
to what you wrote, than she has anything anybody else has. It's all about
Lynn, you know.

Dear Lynn,
I don't mean to get on your case, especially if someone in an unread
portion of the thread has already asked this, but it's worth
repeating : what the hell are you doing going to the ER for a pain
you have had for months? And seeing them for an 8 or 9 pain? I
don't get it one tiny bit. Suppose all the doctors were tied up
removing a bunion from somebody's foot when you came in from being
electrocuted. Nobody is giving you CPR cause they're busy babysitting
some drunk who broke his ankle from falling off his bar stool.
Nobody's around to zap you with the defibrillator because they're
tied up removing a cast from the arm of a kid that went mosh pit
diving (I think they still call it that) and nobody wanted to catch
him. The ER docs finally get through all the normal bullshit that
should have been handled in a doctor's office visit and it's your
turn, just in time to close your eyes and pull up the sheet. They
slap a toe tag on you and wheel you down to the morgue, where after
lunch the slice you open from crotch to shoulder, pulling out organs
as they go. The medical examiner fills out his report, listing the
cause of death as electrocution, but we know the real cause of
death...stupidity. Stupidity, tying up EMERGENCY response personnel,
with stupid shit that belongs in a doctors office or a bathroom with
a good friend. I'm not addressing your words quite directly, I am
hoping you will get the point, but I'll be more direct yet if it will
help - a problem that lasts a couple days belongs in your doctors
office. If you have the time to wait and see, it's not an emergency,
make an appointment with your doctor. There is usually very little
doubt involved when it is an emergency and you certainly can't walk 3
block if you need an ER. Stop wasting the resources of the Emergency
Department with trivial
bullshit. If it's not life or death, call your doctor. I have a lot of
friends who are linemen, I know a lot about being electrocuted and
doing resuscitation in the field, and I would be mightily pissed if
one of my guys died because you were having a zit on your ass
examined. It's called an EMERGENCY ROOM for a reason. It's not an all
night
drug store or clinic, though I'd bet your yellow pages has a listing
of one of each, within reach of that van of yours. It's just not
enough of an emergency to drive that long or that far, besides, by
the time you went all that way you could see your doctor.
Very disappointed in you, Lynn. I thought you were better people than
this.--og
