i really cant believe it ..its just a minor thing ..plus the fever i have during the week i got a loose bowel movement for two days..that decided my husband to rush me to the hospital last holy thursday night for about 7:pm..since i always felt thirsty due to the loss of fluids ..thinking that i was dehydrated that makes him decide that i need some lab test..so after one hour of waiting the tests..were finally relieved that all tests were negative specially the stool..my gosh no parasites and all...even the doctor cannot ruled out diarrhea...(and have to perform another test to make sure)but before this ..would you believe that after the results i took i waited 3 hours for the doctor to read it...what i mean is that the resident doctor at that time is missing in action it was only the clerk and the others in the emergency room...when i try to let the other doctors read the results they said that it must be the internal medicine doctor who must do the reading..so i had to wait for three agonizing hours waiting in the emergency room..we left i guess nearly 1:00 am early morning..and decided not to come back for another tests..(i found out later that the resident physician took a nap on her quarter..while she was missing in action)what about you? any same experiences??

Loss of fluids and dehydration is something that i really take very seriously. If I was in your case, I won't even wait for 2 days. I usually have them checked by a doctor and admitted to the hospital. I just scares me that something like that could even kill a person if not treated right away. It is better safe than sorry. I won't even mind waiting as long as we're already in the hospital and is given some liquids already.
