I knew there was a reason why i hated the whole idea of going to A+E. I had not been there in many years,and i was kinda hoping that with all the bad publicity the Health service has had,that things would have changed for the better,but no, it seems that some thing dont change,its like they just dont want things to change,they want us to change,they want us to embrace private health insurance instead of being dependent on the state for when we need help,a little like the American system where the state takes you for everything,and treats you like a begger when you are in need! In reality,i expected to be in for the long wait,thats why i brought a magizine and my phone charger in case i needed either of them. So i waited, and i was seen by the triage nurse,and she took blood samples, and hooked me up to a machine to see if my heart was ok,and asked me in my own good time to piss in a little plastic jar. In my own good time indeed, took me two hours to do so and another ten hours to see another nurse to give it to her. So everything was good, nothing out of the ordinary as to why i collapsed at home and why the next day i had the same symptoms but without loosing consciousness, nothing to say why it felt like i was having a stroke and why even now i feel bouts of dizziness,nausea,and that at any moment i could fall to the floor yet again! 14 hours,100 euro later i walked home feeling like i had been mugged or simply conned out of my money and any explanation for why i should have felt that way,in the end,it has been left to me to diagnose that i have anxiety disorder,or at least i hope thats all it is,because when one is left to google symptoms,then one is open to mis diagnosis and risking ones health in the process. If its not Anxiety disorder,then it parkinsons,and if not either then i fear it will take another fainting episode to get me in to A+E again to maybe(MAYBE)find out the real reasons behind it all,and that scares me as much as the unexpected moment when i initially collapsed in the first place!
