I wish for us. Rural hospital so she got pain meds but was hooked up to an iv in the waiting room cause they didn’t have a bed until the next morning. Long story short, they had residents trying to do training or something in the same room she was resting in shortly after finally getting in there. I went off when she woke up cause they were being loud.

I get the necessity of what they were doing but know your surroundings. There is a time and place, and they got both wrong.

My wife was having bad cramps/tummy ache. Finally convinced her to go to the ER and it was appendicitis. Luckily, it didn’t burst but was close and doctor showed me pictures from the removal and said she was gangrenous in areas.

I started to get a bad tummy ache but I survived.

It was National Guard not Coast Guard, Coast Guard doesn’t have that kind of budget. Never had, never will.

New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.
