After describing the pain level as a 10 out of 10 the nurse told me to wait until my name was called. I waited close to four hours before I was asked to walk up to another part of the hospital where after scans were taken and another two hours went by, I was finally diagnosed with having a Kidney stone and then, and only then was given something (morphine) for my pain.I was then told to go home. That almost 8 hours of torture was quickly followed by a hefty bill.

My husband almost had a ruptured appendix because the Dr's didn't think he was having enough pain (and no fever) to really have appendicitis.

Knowing that appendicitis is difficult to diagnose, we don't have any hard feelings or anything, but I did tell my husband that he needed to whine a little more, just in case.

"Knowing that appendicitis is difficult to diagnose, we don't have any hard feelings or anything, but I did tell my husband that he needed to whine a little more, just in case."

If he ever has to go to Johns Hopkins* Emergency,definitly have him whine big time,it may save his life.

*Johns Hopkins is rated one of the top Hospitals in the country if not the world.
