Quite similar. I went home around midnight to get some sleep and had Mrs. P2 drop me off again in the morning. Finally I talked to the ER head and we agreed to get a CAT to exclude the appendix possibility. Around 5pm, things finally got going. This was at a tertiary, teaching hospital.

If you are past 65, do everything you can to stay away from hospitals. Even now. But it is about to become much worse. Obama talked about it during the 2008 campaign. The daughter of a woman in her nineties asked Obama if the state of the health of the very elderly would be taken into account in deciding whether to provide the full standard of care. Almost pleading, she said her mother was fully alert. Obama, clearly enjoying the prospect of the president playing God, did little to comfort the woman, saying that tough decisions will have to be made. This tape exists. McCain should have used it. It was chilling and ghoulish. The democrats cut 500 dollars from Medicare. They endorse stabbing fully formed babies through the head even as they leave the womb. Do you think they will hesitate to kill off the elderly to make room for the illegals who will vote for them?.

Of all the things that require a long hospital stay a ruptured appendix should not be anywhere on the list in this day and age. But after it happened to us I was astounded by how many people had the same thing happened.

Always with the same, “your systems were atypical” reason given. If there are so many people running around with atypical systems maybe they should change what they are looking for when it comes to appendicitis
