OP here. So I went in cause of the asthma attack and due to the treatments they gave me my heart rate was up to 130 to 150 and would not go down. The Doctor ordered an EKG and a blood and urine test to see if it showed anything. All that cameback w as that I had a UTI. I hadnt even started showing signs of a UTI so go figure right. Feeling much better and my heart rate was down this morning. Thanks for all the laughs made my day.

I don't even want to know what the dirty doctor did to open your windpipe.

That's an awesome hospital. They actually tracked down the cause instead of just treating the symptoms. And yes, we probably shouldn't feel like a hospital is awesome for doing a good job but I honestly do feel that way.

last time I was in the ER with an athsma attack I had to wait 2 hours to go in and be treated. I could have died in the waiting room due to lack od oxygen in my body. I feel your pain, the public health system sucks.

if your O2 SATs were low you'd have gone back quicker. They really don't let people who are about to die sit in the waiting room.
