Speaking as one who spends half his life in hospitals as a patient, I
know that doctors would rather send you home telling you that you are
okay than admit you when you are on the way out (of life that is).

I have gone to Accident and Emergency often enough to know that you
would not be regarded as having made anything other than the right
decision.

Go - now - this minute. You might sense that some people on this list
are being a bit abrupt about it. Perhaps they know more than you do. If
you haven't already done so, then do it already. And if, by the time
that you get this email, you have gone - well, you'll know we were all
correct.

Long term patient in various hospitals.

Life and death at the most and career ending as a likelihood, if you
don't
take care of this promptly.. You are a fool to continue asking these
silly
questions. Shut down your computer and call an ambulance or have
someone
drive you to the hospital immediately

to
you this way)
