@avant-garde take your time to process everything, we are always here for you.
That's great news about your lungs. Hopefully the speech pathologist will help you. Frustrating the she invalidated the allergy concern, if you wanted to test that reaction you could sit in the hospital carpark and consume whatever it is that causes the reaction, then you are at least right at the hospital to get help should it cause issues (I've heard of parents doing this with young kids trying foods for the first time).

@Gremlin24 given how hospital emergency departments treat me I wouldn't hold out hope in them actually saving my life, the staff would actually have to care first. Her opinion of my allergy is just frustrating.

@avant-garde one would hope that they would do everything in their power to save you should you be in that situation. I'm sorry that she made you feel that way.

I walked out with a concussion because they said "it's not a seizure, you're faking it".
Sorry I'm getting angry and frustrated at the sheer idea of hope in this states emergency medical system.
I appreciate your positivity [edited by moderator]
I would rather not discuss the failed medical system here.

@avant-garde I'm sorry to hear of your experiences. We don't have to talk about it anymore.
Have you got any plans for the rest of the day?

okay, interesting @avant-garde I had a thyroid nodule removed a couple years ago. I was wrapped around nerves for vocal chords. When surgeon rang for check up they only wanted to know about that. must have been bothering them. I passed out a few times and fell heavily last year as could not breathe. I got given exercises to do for throat from dr. I think what helped most was studying, as I talked for a few hours once a fortnight, as opposed to not speaking as live on my own and dont really go out

@avant-garde hope the researching goes well. I got nothing on now that my inspection is done.

@TAB so talking helps? that's ironic, I'm really good at suffering in silence
