Did you describe your symptoms to a nurse on the telephone at your doctor's office? Did they suggest you go to the ER?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, you are without question the dumbest person I've ever known.

Actually, this is how it went:

called doctor's office. Pressed the IVR option for "speak to a nurse" after sitting on hold got a message that no nurse was available and I should go to ER or leave a message and get a call back. I hung up. Called internist friend of mine and left a voicemail message asking him to call back and give me thoughts...i called dr;'s office back to see if they had any appointments....they said no (unless I could be there in 10 minutes which I couldn't) at that point in time I had exhaisted all of my time before I had to jump on a client call. I asked y'all to pass time while I was on the call. I'm now off the call, but the doctor friend called me back and informed me what signs I needed to look for if this wasn't something I couldn't ride out for an hour or two before making a determination on the ER (which will screw up a deadline today)....so I'm going ot work for an hour, re-evaluate, and then go to the ER or work based on the instructions given from friend.
