Day 11: June 24th ER Antics

So I have spent the whole day spent in the Doctors/ER at Sacramento General Hospital. And I mean all day. My doc had called me at 12 and rushed me to Urgent Care at 1. The docs looked me over and sent me to the ER because they couldn't do anything more for me. So off to the ER I went. Mom drove and we got there at 4:30pm. I waited in the waiting room till 1:30am. Then I had an exam and more tests and the lab screwed up one of them. Finally by 10:30am we got the final test result and I was discharged.  I was so happy to get out of there!


Even in the midst of pain and exhaustion, there were a few highlights. My favorite was when the cute seven year old waiting in the ER for his baby sister to get treated, went to the restroom. The restrooms are located in the waiting room. Now in them, there is a cord that if you pull, a nurse will come help you. It's meant as an emergency type thing. Well, being a seven year old boy, tired and wound up at the same time. He went to the bathroom. Well, next thing I know, the security guard is telling the boy's father that the light outside the bathroom is flashing. The kid had pulled the cord out of curiosity and had no idea the entire waiting room could see the light flashing. Precious! Anyway, the dad went in and canceled the light and the boy came out with one of those "Am I in trouble for this?" look. So cute!
