Today, I was very sick with a stomach virus, so I went to the only doctor's office open on Sundays. Even though I was feeling like a pile of shit, I waited for a woman who was walking in behind me to hold the door open for her. She was the last patient they could take for the day. FML

I'm a woman and I hold doors open for other people.... it has nothing to do with gender, people do it because its nice. Also, doctors can't do anything for viruses so they would have told you to get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, etc. So really she saved you from paying for a doctor's visit needlessly ;)

the BRAT diet will bind your stools--bananas, rice, apples, and toast. Lots of fluids and get to the ER ASAP if you're dehydrated.

Why go to the doctor's office at all when you have a stomach virus? You apparently already know what's wrong and it's not like they'll give you a magic pill and everything will be better... You'd be wasting other people's time. But, I do think it's ridiculous for them to just tell you the other lady was the last patient they would help. They're doctors, for crying out loud! If they wanted to close for the day they should've locked the door...

maybe they wanted to put their mind at rest or felt it was serious enough to go to the docs, on saying that i do agree with you that going to the docs when you already know what you have is a bit of a waste of time.

#10, depending how bad it is, if she's throwing up lots, they can giv her a prescription anti nausea thing to allow her to eat again. but chances are they'd probs test to c if it's a virus/bug... so she'd have a blood test... (depending how good the doc is).. otherwise tell her to rest relax take panadol etc etc... and/or write out a script for antibiotocs incase it's not viral. so if I was feeling that shitty, I'd want my doc appointment.

And the reason you didn't make sure that you puked in front of the door was because...?

Not sure if I 100% believe this happened as I can't imagine a doctors office turning away a person who is obviously sick right in front of them. But just on the off chance that it is I clicked FML because DAMN that really sucks! I hope it is fake!

you shouldn't have been nice, you should've just slammed the door in her face and ran to the desk (:
