I have a gif of her swimming around naked saved somewhere . <| sep |> I realize that . I was just at wit ' s end , in serious pain , and hadn ' t eaten or had anything to drink in days , and they didn ' t know until later what was wrong and I never got Dilaudid or anything else for pain , either . My cousin is now practicing in Chicago OBGYN , but she did her ER rotation and had some stories , as have a couple of my friends who are RN ' s . I ' ve heard about maggots in wounds , people walking in and dropping dead , alcoholics going into seizures , somebody screaming because their kid cut his lip and they ' ve had to wait OVER AN HOUR , etc . I refused to go when I had chest pains until my roommate threatened me with a 911 call . Every single person I know or have ever known in healthcare was a far more caring and patient person than I could be . At least I get to send the 18 yearolds on their way after a 50 minute class . In medicine , it doesn ' t work like that at all .
