Okay, People here will torture the shit out of me but here it goes.
So here I am in my living room with puss and blood running from my incision through my shirt and through my favorite recliner. I mean it was a lot.
I figured that if I got up my intestines might just fall out because there just so much of the crap. So I call 911 with one hand while holding the incision with the other.
I told the operator that I'd had a gastric bypass. I got off the phone with them and called the doctors office while waiting.
Pretty soon the cops arrive with sirens and lights going.
The cops eyes go wide and he asks if I'm ok. I look at him and say "I've been better, How about you?"
He leaves the room speaks on his walkie talkie and then a fire truck arrives with lights and sirens going. They come running in with a defibrillator ready to roll. My eyes GO REALLY WIDE. I ask what is that for? They said it was in case my heart seized.
The EMT's are now here with an ambulance and they come running in with a defibrillator of their own. What the hell? I'm about ready to shit bricks now.
So I show the open incision too the EMT. He takes one look and then looks at me and asks where's the incision from the heart bypass. I look at him and say "What heart bypass? I had a GASTRIC BYPASS".
The doctors nurse is finally on the phone telling me what too do. Seems that this happens to 20 percent of the patients but they never warn you because they don't want to scare you.
By now my wonderful sense of humor is coming back to me since I'm assured that my bowels will not fall out when I stand up and I don't have to go back to the hospital. I tell the EMT that I don't need to go the hospital. He's filling out the paperwork and asks me the following questions:
EMT: What month is this?
ME: Quietly "Buddy, If you don't know what month it is, should you be an EMT?"
EMT: It's for the paperwork
ME: September
EMT: What Day of the week is it?
ME: Tuesday.
EMT: Who's the President?
ME: An asshole with two hot daughters. Why are you asking me these questions?
EMT: Too make sure your alert enough to sign a release.
ME: What would you do if I wasn't?
EMT: Make You go to the hospital.
ME: Over your dead body.
EMT: Don't you mean "over my Dead Body"?
ME: No, I mean Yours and I don't have insurance. (I've learned my lesson from the hospital. Never tell them you have insurance until your heading out the door.)
He's gone within three minutes.
SO the lessons here are:
Tell them you have no insurance and they will go away.
Doctors should tell you about shit that happens to 20 percent of their patients.
Never say the word bypass when talking to 911 unless you need some voltage.
Steam cleaning a recliner costs more then the floor.
OH and I NEVER EVER want to see GEN PADOVA's Four way movie ever again.
