isn't there another hospital to go to? i mean, if one sucks, can you go somewhere else? or is like you have to see that place because you're 'assigned to it' like in a district or something?
i guess similar to like an HMO thing where its free if you see the DRs on the list....but not elsewhere. etc.... |
There is another hospital, but the waits are just as long.
And no, we can go to any hospital in our own province. Outside of it, I don't know.

I really wouldn't have left. I mean, I understand that sleep probably sounded pretty good, but damn...If they can't tell you anything at all?
I wouldn't want to go to sleep...
Edit: They really used the words "Odd coincidence?" That would freak me out too! |
The nurse honestly said "odd coincidence" and then said "it's just really strange that your nose started to bleed too".
Yea, I wasn't feeling too reassured.
The thing is, if I go to a walk in clinic, they will take care of me way quicker, but I have to wait until 9AM. If I stay at the hospital, I wait until 8AM in the waiting room the entire night.
Either way I am seen at the same time, but one allows me to sleep a little, the other doesn't.

lol@randomly saying "cancer" in there. yeah, that's great.:rolleyes: |
I pestered the nurse to give me an idea of what might be going on, and she threw that in there. |

WTF? Why did you have to wait?
Here in Aus if you're bleeding or have a suspected broken bone, you are automatically moved to the front of the line. waiting when you've got internal bleeding. |
honestly, that's what would happen here too.
that, and there wouldn't be just one dr. |

That sucks :(
How are you feeling at the moment, other than freaked out and tired? |
I feel like . I can't tell whether I feel like because of the bleeding, or because I have been up for 20 hours. My head hurts, and there is pressure in my abdomen.
I'm also really emotional. Thinking I was going to die really ed with my head. I keep crying whenever I think about it.

See, I thought this too. However, there is a chance that it's only a burst hemmeroid or something minor like that. They don't want to push back a baby that is dying because I might have a burst hemmeroid. I understand it, even if I am not happy about it.

oh it's gotta be something small. don't worry. if it was anything serious, you wouldn't be posting on the forumz at this time :) |
I really hope so.
I don't know what is going on. I got home not too long ago, and I am so freaked out, I just needed to talk to someone. I feel like I need people to talk to me.
At 1:30AM on a weeknight, TA is the only source of alive people. |

Yea fair enough but you still should be able to get a quick checkup.
Hope you're ok :) |

| stupid question, but have you taken anything OTC for it? if you're against that stuff, now really might not be the best time to "stand up for what you believe in" |

I know that nobody else here has the heart to tell you, so I'll do it:
You're dying. |

Uhhh what could I take OTC that would stop internal bleeding? *confused*
Or do you mean the headache stuff? |

Agree. I give you roughly 43 more years.

That doesn't sound like a haemeroid, at least to me. I really think you should go back to the hospital :/
And I don't think you should go to sleep either, not without some one watching over you. Call your bf, or anyone, if you insist on staying at home and sleeping. |

Headache "stuff" will make it worse. Don't for the love of God take any aspirin.
Head back to the doctor and get something to stop the bleeding. What is is anyway? Where do you feel pain? Are you pregnant? |
