This was his second time back in the ER in 24 hours. Yep appendix as well but couldn't get them to believe it until they reluctantly did a CAT scan. After all the pain was not in the right place!

Darn thing burst as they were taking it out. Abscess, cellulitis, CDC, ain't we got fun?

Surgeons know the most interesting cuss words.

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.
