Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML
Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML
Today, I woke up my friend and had him take me to the ER. I had trouble breathing and my chest hurt, so the doctor put me on an EKG and took X-rays. I had strained my chest lifting weights at the gym earlier that day and pulled a muscle, and now thanks to my massive anxiety I have a $700 hospital bill. FML
Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room with chest pain. I didn't have a heart attack, but I now have a broken nose after passing out and face-planting in the waiting room. FML
Today, I felt a very sharp pain, like my appendix was going to burst. After going to the doctor, I was rushed to the hospital to get tests done. The doctors later told me there's nothing wrong, I was just constipated. I went to the hospital for them to basically tell me I'm full of shit. FML
Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML
Today, at work, I had an accident and cracked a rib. I got taken to hospital where I got checked over. The doctor said it was a good job I hadn't got a chest infection nor a cold. Funny you should say that doc, I have both. She replied, "Well, that's bad…" FML
Today, I was just released from hospital after a heart attack. As a 37 year-old woman with healthy habits and no family history of heart issues, the doctors have no idea why it happened. So instead of telling me how to change my lifestyle, they told me to proceed as usual, and hope that it doesn't happen again. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML

Well, at least you were at a doctors office when it happened, and not driving on the road home.

The doctor was probably an excellent doctor. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes multiple appointments, tests, and doctors working together to find the diagnosis. Doctors aren't miracle workers, nor are they perfect.

I understand that, I don't understand why they'd tell op they are "perfectly healthy" with nothing to worry about. Not a doctor, so I can't really say whether he's actually bad or not but it seems strange to tell a patient nothing is wrong if you just haven't found a diagnosis yet.

Better/Worse news… (depending on your perspective) it's not THE Doctor. (For anyone who gets the reference, do reply in kind)

Would probably chock it up to timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbily stuff. Fish fingers and custard seem to be an around treatment. Hope you get better soon, OP!

Everything is ON Family Guy, but almost nothing is FROM Family Guy. It's a parody show, #32; like The Simpsons.

When I was 13 I shattered a bone in my elbow. The first doctor I saw told me it was fine and sent me home. Because of that I now have a permanently ****** elbow. Doctors suck.

And that is why they call it "practicing medicine." In all seriousness, I hope you are ok and get better soon.

You're lucky you collapsed while at the hospital OP, be thankful for the little things.

At least you can get a proper diagnosis now.

Lucky you weren't on your way home, and that medical help wasn't far away, hope you're better soon

Yes, you have to love it when they talk about all the responsibility that doctors face. A bus driver has significantly more. It's not like they can get the passengers to sign a slip saying that if they crash the bus and the passengers get killed then that's just a part of the risks of catching the bus. Hope you're ok and shop around for a doctor. They're much like mechanics ...

unfortunately I hit the thumbs up key. I fail to see your reasoning as to why bus drivers have more responsibilty. bus drivers are to get customers from point a to B. getting on the bus means you choose that risk of a crash which could happen whether you drove yourself, walked, biked, etc. Doctors are with you from beginning to end and all the steps in between. they have to decide if the little spot inside your lung is cancer or just a nodule or just an abnormality. they have to decide if your headaches are from an illness, trauma, or something else. they deal with many patients everyday with multiple aches and pains, opinions, self diagnosises, traumas, little scrapes, to just regular check ups. a bus driver doesn't have to listen to clients life stories nor listen to their breathing, pulses, symptoms, run lab work, order other tests and etc on just one patient along with 4 in the waiting room waiting for their own time to see the doctor.

What the hell are you talking about? A bus driver doesn't have jack shit responsibilities compared to a doctor.
