On second thought..
I was going to blog about the 3 hours i spent in the hospital this morning, getting x-rays and having breathing tests done because today i'm only able to breathe super-shallow without causing extreme pain in my lung and ribs for no explicable reason.. but then i read kaitlin's blog about her lovely hospital experience, and decided i didn't have it so bad.
the xrays found nothing. the aesthma tests found nothing. he prescribed some anti-inflamitories, assuming the muscle group attached to the ribs are just spontaneously acting up, and sent me home.
*shrugs*

Wow. Hospital trips are hospital trips. Get better, you!
with the help of some drugs and a really great massage [mmm], i'm happy to report i feel great today :)
Do NOT accept what Sackville Memorial Hospital diagnosis you as. They have a long history of choosing the easy treatment.
Go to Moncton or Amherst.
If you need an example of a reason why you should take this seriously just remember that Sackville Memorial Hospital diagnosed Jason Abraham as having a stomach ulcer. Which later turned out to be full blown cancer. How can someone miss full blown cancer? By taking the easy way and just prescribing something simple like anti-inflamitories.
Jason's not the only one. Ask Matt Pearn how many case studies identical to Jason Abraham's he's had that led him to campaign for the oncampus clinic for so long.
yea well i went to the sackville 'health clinic' first.. only to be ignored by the secretary for a full ten minutes [standing a foot and a half from her, until i interrupted her from her computer screen] and learned that there's only an actual doctor there for 1 HOUR per week, and that the nurse [who can't diagnose anything anyway] was busy doing flu shots until next week. yea that's real helpful.
also, the family doctors in sackville are all booked until mid-december. oh the joy of being an ill mta-student.
sounds like that devil influenza or possibly pneumonia... i agree... get a second opinion... second opinions are key.

no i'm pretty sure they're right. it's not that i 'couldn't' breathe.. just that it hurt when i did.. so i don't think it's a lung thing. i thought maybe it was a hurt rib at first, which is partly true, but it's muscular. and the drugs made it go away mostly.
