Do more cocaine, drink Jack Daniels, and call a hooker.

Aspirin and fish oil in the morning.
Also, two shots and a bump to stave off the shakes.
You’re welcome.

I can’t breathe and my chest is painful. There are shooting pains down my left arm. My face is turning blue. What are your suggestions?

Tell the girl to untie you, and get off your chest.

Dear Free Republic:

While playing around with my plutonium pit, it went critical and irradiated me. I taste iron in my mouth and dancing blue lights are in my eyeballs. What are your suggestions?

Put your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye.

My face is literally on fire and smoke is coming from my ears. I smell burnt hair. Any ideas on what I should do?

Jay Leno could tell you.

Dear Free Republic:

I accidentally launched myself into low Earth orbit. I’m finding it hard to catch my breath. What should I do?

Go to the emergency, right now.
I have a former fellow employee who developed a swelling leg problem.
It turned out to be a blood clot.

At least go see a doctor

We recommend, for you, to just lie down.
There is nothing we can do for you. :p

“I taste iron”

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.
If the top of your head blows off in the meantime, then you dont need to worry.

Ok, ok, so I’ve been funnin’ ya. It’s because I am always amazed when someone on FR posts about a major medical condition instead of seeking help.

I hope you are seeking that help.

What did you do yesterday (Thanksgiving Day)?

If like most people, you overindulged and took in way more salt than normal. I would definitely seek medical attention as swelled legs is definitely a warning sign.

In meantime, drink a lot of water.

Sorry you are going through this. There are a lot of snarky comments I guess the men of FR tend to have an insulting sort of “humor” sometimes.

Swollen legs were an indication for my husband that he had developed congestive heart failure.

Get a friend of family to take you to the ER. It doesn’t just “go away.” I believe you will lessen damage to your heart and other organs if they get your blood pressure down and get some Lasik in you. At least that’s what happened here. However it is a serious symptom and you shouldn’t kick the can down the road. Just go deal with it, and no, not at the GP on Monday. Today.

"3. Call a doctor!"

There was a time I used to listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger. It boggled my mind the number of people who couldn't solve their own problems without having to call someone they didn't even know to get advice. This post reminds me of those people. Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to tire of listening to people who were too helpless to help themselves. And sadly, these people vote.
