It can be dangerous so you should see a doctor!"
So he went to the dr who sent him straight to the ER, and he was in the hospital for about a week after...
Dx was pleurisy

THat is crazy/awesome that you maybe saved your friend's life? I know nothing about pleurisy.

Has anyone else had a therapist do this? Because this is the second time it's happened to me in therapy (and never otherwise in my life). Is this something they learn in therapy school?

OMG, no. I REALLY want to be a fly on the wall in a therapy session with you, because you elicit such strange reactions from T's. Wait...that was worded wrong. There are so many things T say or do with you that I have never heard of, and boggle my mind!

Nope, I most certainly do not. What I think you need to figure out with him is his crisis response. You need an absolute "I will never respond to your texts or phone calls...or...If you text or call me and say X (maybe some sort of password that signifies you are in need of help, and he needs to call or text you back)....or that you can text and he'll read them, but wont' respond unless X happens."
I don't know, but I know this is causing immense confusion and pain for you, and the shame from your last session, and his non-response sent you into a pretty bad relapse, from what it sounds like. You can't keep doing this, because I think every spiral you go down will get worse and worse. You deserve better.
