Jesus, It’s Just Gallstones!
Florida, Hospital, USA | Healthy | December 18, 2017
(I’m in the ER with severe stomach pain and bloating. I’ve just been put in a room, and the ER doctor is asking questions. I’m in my early 20s.)
Doctor: “Is there any chance you could be pregnant?”
Me: “Nope, no chance. I’m not even dating anyone right now.”
Doctor: “Are you absolutely SURE?”
(She’s pushing on my stomach, which makes the pain worse. At this point, I no longer have a filter on my mouth.)
Me: “Lady, if I’m pregnant, you’d better start looking outside for shepherds, angels, three wise men, and a star.”
Doctor: “…noted. I’ll get you into imaging.”
(I had gallstones and pancreatitis.)
