NJ Chicaa @sallypup The dehydration and low electrolytes was due to spending all of Monday and early Tuesday alternately vomiting and looking like I was preparing for a colonoscopy. I had muscle craps, a headache, and abdominal pain. Not sure about the low platelets....

7 hours later I'm still here in the ER. I've been largely ignored by the nurses. I've had to listen to an obnoxious old man 2 beds over flipping out since I got here. This guy and his wife got here like an hour ago and man they...

This guy is freaking INSANE. First he claimed that big oil companies (aka his donors) were willing to invest billions of dollars in Venezuela to harvest the oil for the US. Then it came out either last night or early this morning...

NJ Chicaa no because I knew why. I asked a "patient experience" employee about the lunch and she just grabbed one of the extras that was in the cart. The doctor didn't order that one.
