When you are are physically ill? Because I woke up this morning with a sharp pain in my side and vomiting. I visited the doctor, he gave me some painkillers, it got worse and I was just got so frustrated I burst into tears and started throwing things. And because it was a public holiday, I had to go to another doctor, he told me I might have appendicitis, gave me more medication and sent me home. I don't know, before I was diagnosed I feel my pain tolerance was much higher, now even if I get the flu its so incredibly hard to recover, it's like climbing a mountain.

Why would they send you home if they suspect appendicitis? Isnt that dangerous? I've always heard that your appendix could burst and kill you so you need it checked out right away. I would go to the ER of the pain gets worse! I can't believe a doc would say that and then send you home!

Maybe the anger you feel can help you get the medical care you need. Something doesn't sound right, sent home with only medicine for possible appendicitis. I'd be angry, too.
