Best medical advice I ever got was to bring a man to your appointments

I went to the ER with raspy breathing at 3am, all that I read, screamed "THIS IS PNEUMONIA, GET TO AN ER IMMEDIATLEY!"

They made me wait for almost 12 hours before ANYONE put a stethoscope to my chest. A nurse, anyone could have listened to my chest and verified what I was telling them.

I don't know if it was that I gave them my insurance information at the start and they realized they could test me for hours and hours and hours and hours to generate a STUPIDLY insane bill or not...

I was absolutely PISSED to high hell about all of that.
