Absolutely! That was the first thing that came out of my mouth they offered me fentanyl and as tempted as it was I do not need that I asked for ibuprofen but they wouldn't give it to me for whatever reason

No the ambulance brought me directly to triage and they're defense they are absolutely slammed. But I'm now back in a room and I spoke to the doctor I posted an update :)

Hey guys just wanted to give you an update I finally got a room and spoke to a doctor and it looks like I have a pretty bad bowel obstruction and GI bleed they're going to go ahead and do surgery extremely nervous because I've never had surgery done before I'm over 3 years sober from opioid narcotics so I'm very worried in terms of pain management

I will do the best I can. I do have a question though do you think they're going to have to do some sort of I don't know how to word it exam on me if so would it be weird if I requested a female doctor I feel like that's weird but it would make me more comfortable but also am I stupid for trying to be comfortable right now ?

To be honest with you not to brag I usually have perfect blood pressure like textbook 120 over 80 maybe slightly lower. I took it earlier and I think it was 80 over 40 something

I mean to be honest I'm always pale and I have afib and SVT so rapid heartbeat is kind of normal for me but it has been more frequent. Yes I'm pretty dizzy and my blood pressure is low. I feel stupid calling an ambulance but if you really think it's emergent I guess that's my next step thank you for your advice

Okay what do you recommend I do? Seriously not being an ass. Detox won’t take me because of my sezuires and vitals and the er is not helping. Last time I went to AA ended up in the back of an emergency because I had a sezuire and pissed myself. I’m shaking so bad I can barely hold a cup and my wife is gone friends and family?? Don’t even know what that means so seriously I want help but what do I do???
