so today at work.. WHAT A DAY!!! i just cant believe it.. i work noramlly 9-12 (we close but never get out till about 2)... its a doc. office.. anyway.. tons and tons of sick people today and there was a line out the door just to sign in.. anyway the wait was like 2 hours min. and people were so sick they should have gone to the ER. anyway.. this lady was complaining of flu like symptoms and next thing we know shes out cold on the bathroom floor.. so we get her to come too and she faints 2 times on the way to the exam room and we finally get her up in the table and her pulse was super low... her blood pressure was 86/52 ( normal 110/70 or 120/80)... so we did an EKG (to check her heart) she was having a HEART ATTACK!!!!! oh my word!! never in my life did i think i would deal with something like this.. unreal.. call 911 and they thought it was someone playing a joke it took them 10 min to get there... oh i was so mad.. THANK GOD the doc. was there.. he was so proud of me and my friend (who also works there) cuz we handled it so well!! What an eventfull day!! just thought id share my excitement! hope everyone else had a good day!

oh wow good job Megan! I would have fainted right along with her. I would think Sundays are busy because normal doctors offices aren't open, what type of dr's office do you work at that is open on a sunday?

Thats not so reassuring that 911 thought you were kidding! Good thing she was in a doctors office.
