The Good, The Bad, and the Unhealthy

Local blogger spends weekend in Urgent Care

making a fool out of herself in more ways than one.

In just a matter of one weekend a no-name blogger was rushed to urgent

care because of a persistent pain in her chest. The pain, which was said to have 

lasted over an hour, radiated all down her left arm and into her finger tips. When

in the care of doctors she was hooked up to a heart monitor where her irregular 

heart beat annoyed her for over an hour. The medical faculty also ran many tests

on her including an EKG, blood work after five tubes of her blood were taken, and 

a chest X-ray. At the end of the night she was prescribed Xanax and left thinking

maybe the pains in her chest would go away.

Little did she know that two days later she would be [carefully] walking down 

some steps at a local park where she managed to roll her ankle and twist her knee.

If not for her boyfriend who had conveniently been where he was to catch her she

probably would have dislocated her knee as well. Once again, she made her way to 

urgent care to have more X-rays and more doctors touch and poke her. Amidst the 

wrapping of her "severely sprained but possibly fractured ankle" the girl went into

an extremely serious panic attack. The attack lasted for over forty five minutes and

she was injected with some clear substance that was supposed to have calmed her

down.  Of course, it did nothing but make her really high by the time she got home.

Before leaving Urgent Care though a doctor asked questions about her panic attacks

and put the girl on antidepressants, making sure to tell her parents to get her in to see

a specialist. 

We know have word that the girl is skipping therapy and going straight to see a

psychiatrist because her parents finally understand what she meant when she told 

them she was losing it.
