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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up feeling ill. My mom sent me to school anyway, and grounded me for "lying" about being sick. As soon as I got to school, I began vomiting blood. 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, I told my mom that I'd vomited blood. She simply said, “Good” and went back to watching TV. FML
Today, I had food poisoning and woke up early in the morning to vomit. My mom emailed all of my teachers saying that I would be late to school because of "morning sickness". Thanks mom. FML
Today, I was at my mom's when I suddenly doubled over in pain. It was so bad that I begging to be taken to the hospital, just when her dog started coughing. She immediately ran to her dog, asked if she was OK, saying that she hates to see anyone she loves in pain. I sat there hunched over in disbelief. FML
Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML
Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. 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, 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 wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. FML

It might not be too serious, but I'd call 911 just in case.

When was the last time you coughed up blood and it wasn't serious?
TheDrifter 24
It's likely either TB or the op got her ass kicked and a rib cracked recently. Either way, the doctor's not going to do much and it's unlikely to become an emergency situation. If it's TB the op might waanna go to the clinic to get a prescription though. They won't issue antibiotics without one here, not sure about there.

80- By TB, do you mean tuberculosis?

Spitting up a bit of blood because of a burst small blood vessel from coughing fits isn't uncommon, and generally isn't serious - when one has a more chronic cough, has constitutional symptoms (i.e. Fever, night sweats, loss of appetite, loss of weight), or the blood is significant (i.e. More than a cup) then one would worry...

Oh, and for the record, TB often causes quite significant haemoptysis (coughing up blood), and that would be an emergency and may require admission to hospital, anti-tussives (cough-suppressants), and even blood transfusion; and coughing up blood after having been assaulted would imply bleeding into the airways and significant injury to lungs and blood vessels - a broken rib causes lung collapse and blood / air in the pleural space, not commonly coughing up blood... Both of the scenarios you gave are quite serious, but also quite unlikely in OPs case - my bet is on a Upper Resporatory Tract Infection or a Bronchitis

What? The old "I am coughing out blood" excuse didn't work to keep you from going to school? It always works for me!

This is what happens when the generation that grew up with _Ferris Bueller_ becomes parents. *sigh*

Dude that is seriously a terrible thing for your mom to do. Coughing up blood and having severe chest pain is bad!

I feel for you OP. My mom sent me to school when I burnt my feet. Boiling hot water + my bare feet = Alot of pain. Had blisters all over and still had to go. Not my best day of school.

I hate how some parents choose a pet over their child. I mean yeah, a pet can be part of the family, but think about your actual child first.
