She's yelling at me to get to the hospital immediately. They read my scans wrong and I had appendicitis. Had surgery within 6 hours of getting there.

When I was in the Army a friend of mine died of stomach cancer because the doctors at sick call kept giving him prilosec or some other shit and sending him back to work. They finally accused him of malingering and did the tests to try and make a case to kick him out. By that time it was too late. ****er lived through two tours in Iraq and three in Afghanistan and gets beat by the Army.
