I had been suffering severe abdominal pains (more than my usual gut ache i suffer) and decided to pop some painkilers and try to sleep (this was on the saturday), By monday morning i was still in pain and decided to go to see my GP (same day appointmetn what a lucky day) I got poked and prodded by the doc who then takes on a look of concern on his face, asks me to wait outside, i go out then get called back in and given a letter for the surgical assessment unit at my local Hospital, then told to make my way there by this point is am bit worried...Severe gut pain, referral to surgery and told to go to hospital... do i panic and call an ambulance? nah do i hell, I go home, have a shower (stupidly had some breakfast) then got the bus to the hospital, and go to A+E desk, within 5 mins i am in the assessment unit strapped to lots of machines with 2 (very attractive) female doctors poking and prodding me, Because i was stupid enough to eat no operation, have to wait....and wait....and wait.... 6 hours later (no painkillers nothing) then teh doctor comes back and goes through the Post Op and consent form as they want to whip my appendix out, some guy in a green PJ set up takes a look at me for 2 mins bounces all over my stomach, says its nothing serious then sends me home, I was in and out of that unit for 4 days before the pain finally went I spoke to the doctor and was told, if i had called the ambulance the night it had happened they would have taken my appendix out there adn tehn instead of me suffering with it for 6 days afterwards
