What's everyone up to right now?

They kind of kicked her out.

[Losty]

Leli bug has a fever and she says her neck hurts too bad to move it, so we are waiting in the ER with about 60 other people who don't appear to have an emergency. Ugh I hate the ER I wish there was an evening urgent care for kids here.

[SteelCurtain]

Thoughts coming yours and Leli's way, Losty. Hope she's okay.

[Losty]

She seems fine to me. But stiff neck with a fever is a sign of meningitis so according the hospital triage nurse you should be seen immediately just to be sure. Not that there's a such thing as being seen immediately at the ER. We are still in the waiting room.

Mention "chest pain", "shortness of breath" and "history of pulmonary embolism" in the same breath and you'll never even see the waiting room.

Reading about Whitehead's Process And Reality and various other tidbits about ontology.

I toured a Scientology church once. It was all smiles and surface nonsense. They're good at avoiding the hard questions.

Somehow I think they might be offended to come back to a 7 year old with a cold and a crick in her neck.

I would be afraid to be disingenuous to ER docs who might have a human reaction to being scammed into being seen sooner than triaged.

See, that's the thing. I don't have to.

Agree with this, as an ER doc....
