She didn’t specify, I think she considered there were too many possibilities for her to pursue. Plus, when you state your pain level is a 9 that probably pushes some buttons. At the ER, both the PA and triage nurse said the fact I stated this was the worst headache I ever had was a red flag for them. Yet as the hours slipped by I had regrets that calling it a headache at all may have pushed me to the back burner.

I had to get out of there, the place was depressing yet the staff kept plowing ahead doing their job. Much props to those folks and their professionalism. I’m going to write a letter of praise.

EDIT: My bad, the UC doctor did have a specific concern of an aneurysm. I forgot that.
