Today, my mom argued with me that I should have went to an emergency room a further 18 minutes away from me, during a near fatal allergic reaction, so I would've received "better care." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite repeatedly telling the nurse I'm severely allergic to NSAIDs, she insisted she give me Advil for my high fever. When I told her I would go into anaphylactic shock, she said, "Well you are in the right place to go into anaphylactic shock!" and then told the doctor I was refusing treatment. FML
Today, my mom cussed me out because I'm "the only one who didn't really care," I "didn't try hard enough" to find a hospital to accommodate my older sister's (and her beloved little baby's) condition. I tried over 20 hospitals, and those that had an MRI facility couldn't take her because of the mere fact that she wouldn't fit in them. FML
Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I had to drive my girlfriend to the hospital because she had a severe allergic reaction to the flowers I brought her. FML
Today, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML
Today, after years of having seasonal allergies and months of having my throat close up, my mom agreed to see a doctor, only to insult me in front of the doctor, saying I just find new ways to make their lives harder and I'm probably making it all up. FML
Today, our dog became ill. My mom wasted no time attending her every needs and became very distressed. When I had appendicitis a few months ago, my mom told me to “sleep it off” and a friend had to take me to the hospital. She only called once to bitch at me for “doing this on purpose to make her feel bad.” FML
Today, I went to the emergency room with my boyfriend, only to sit there for 3 hours waiting for him to be seen, then having an argument with him about how impatient I am because they never called his name. FML
Today, my brother gave me a massive rope burn. He got a 30-second talk with our mother. I got an allergic reaction to the lotion used to ease the pain. My mother said I was overreacting. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML

"Sorry mom, next time I nearly die I'll make sure I'm closer to the 'better' hospital".

If you were taken by ambulance they don’t have any choice as to where they bring you if it’s a life threatening emergency. I should know because I once got stung by an insect in my leg while downtown and my usual hospital is in the suburb of where I live over twenty minutes away. My face was swollen so badly they rushed me off to the county hospital two minutes away. I had no choice. They told me my face was swollen enough, I could be dead by the time I reached the hospital 20 minutes away. I was there most of the night and had to take a cab ride home and due to how serious it was I am glad they didn’t listen to me. It was bad enough my throat was starting to close and they had to do three rounds of Epi on me.

she has no common sense obviously, but where did you go that she didn't approve of? Just curious.

"Should have went"...? No one is checking these?
