Well health care sucks now! We have to deal with it. To top it off the price for insurance is through the roof! But if you think something serious is wrong you need to suffer through the process. You are not teaching anyone a lesson by walking out. They don't care! Man get yourself looked at cause you are right it could be serious! Also, don't try going through a metal detector with a knife in your pocket.

At our hospital, which is small and critical access. But if you tell them your having any pain chest or symptoms to heart attack or stroke we have so much time to get in room and test like ekg, blood work and ect.. to get you stable or shipped to a better setting. I think it's like 5 minutes is what they push for to determine if your experiencing what you think you are. I went in to our er because had a pulled rib, funny feeling in my chest, nd wasnt sure what was hoing on. I said chest pain I didn't think it was a heart attack but they had me in and hooked up before I could spit that out.

Lots of young ppl have heart attacks boco.....news tonight was 45 yr old important govt worker had one. In Philippines very common for men to have strokes at 30. Better safe than sorry in his case as I think he must have a desk job or shipping as he is on pc alot or phone. I can relate to your thinking. Me,,Im not that easy.

Heavy equipment operator I'm a aluminum plant in the Ingot department. So lots of down time waiting on process to finish. Depending on the day and job that day.

Maybe you're too white

Go back in and tell them you are having severe pains radiating down your left arm. I would bet you will be hooked up to all kinds of stuff quicker than if you hit the floor. Don't ignore the signs your body is giving you!

Nice job but same difference. Not alot of physical exertion .. i. E. Labor etc.No offence meant or intended

My sister volunteers as a EMT for the small town she lives in. She said if you ever need to go the the ER and you think its serious. Drive your vehicle right into the garage door that is used by the ambulance. The overhead door will automatically open and you wont get into trouble and you will get immediate attention.

nothing to mess with!

hope you get the help you need!

Called in cancelled my night shift tonight. Drove almost home at small walk in place that's also a small e room with all e room equipment.

Told them what's going on and still have a seat we will be with you In a while. Not taking very serious so I guess I shouldn't either. All the adds if your chest hurts use your head lol. Should have went home. If it's something serious I would find out soon enough and if it's nothing I'm not waiting in a waiting room for nothing.

I ended up in the emergency room three weeks ago, same symptoms. My calicium level was low. Theygave me a bag of calcium been good since.

Hospitals are strange now. I could walk into the big hospital i go to in Pittsburgh with a full backpack and they don't so much as glance my way. I could be carrying 6 guns and a bomb and they wouldn't know. But at the one local hospital they make you go back out for a tiny knife or multi tool.

Your pride is going to kill you. Apparently your family means nothing to you.

Probably I think its nothing but a nerve issue but going to get ultrasound my arm and EKG and something with blood work.. better safe than sorry. So far this small office isn't to bad. Really fast vs standard hospital ER and staff seems good and care's.. I'm betting I will get out of here in the next 40 minutes unless they see an issue that needs more testing.

But then to figure out the nerve issue if that's what it is.

On a positive note my 71 year old retired electrician friend called and wants to take the kids rabbit hunting with his dog tomorrow. They have never got to hunt with dogs before so that's exciting. I plan on tagging along if I'm feeling up to it. Probably take a walking stick instead of a gun.

Stop working so hard buddy. You need rest! And balance!!! You’re one of my favorites on this site. But I know your family favors you even more!!! Take care!!!!

Dr came in everything is good says likely inflammation in nerves in my back like I suspected. It's a lot of piece of mind for sure but dag gum it sure is painfully irritating. .

I am glad you got it checked out, that is nothing to mess around with.

Glad you got it checked out. Now you can carry a gun on the bunny hunt and whack a couple without worrying about it. I will be thinking about you and green with envy tomorrow. I grew up in a beagle-raising, bunny hunting family.

I went in for some stomach trouble one time - been turkey hunting. When they let me go I had two heart stents - one 99% blocked. I was gonna hunt three days in a row. Dr said if I hadnt come in when I did - I would have never made it in again. Good luck!

I was going into a hospital for my wife. And my pistol set off the metal detector 2 guys came towards me and I just turned around and walked back to the car and put it in the car.
