You tell them you're feeling miserable—mention the dizziness, the nausea, the vomiting—and they’ll fast-track you to the neurologist on call and get you straight into a CT scan. It might feel a bit manipulative, but it's nothing compared to how they just brushed you off earlier.😳
Haha, man... I am actually cracking up reading this post. It totally made my day. 👍 .
Man, I’ve been through something almost exactly like that... only for me, it wasn't even an act or anything, I was actually dealing with this absolutely brutal migraine attack. It hit me so hard that I ended up winding up in the ER on Sunday, straight into the hands of the on-call internist. They actually had to keep me overnight because my blood pressure went through the roof, which was honestly pretty terrifying. Then, without skipping a beat, I had to go see a neurologist first thing the next morning, followed by another follow-up with the internal medicine doctor. It’s just been one thing after another, honestly. 🙂 So, get this—I just had one of those days where I walked into the clinic thinking everything was totally fine, only to be handed a stack of test results that basically told me I’d been walking around "healthy" for the last two months while actually being a total mess. It’s honestly kind of wild when you think about it, like, how do you go through eighty days just vibing and feeling okay, only to find out your body was low-key staging a protest behind the scenes? It really makes you second-guess all those mornings where I thought I was crushing it, because turns out, I was just blissfully unaware of the chaos happening under the hood. It’s such a trip how much can change without you even noticing, you know? 🙂!
