Will have to wait for my baldy to get home. And then how bad will I feel if they scan me (I assume this is v expensive? And then they are like, you have man flu.....

Velociraptor Aug 2013 2:17pm, 21 Aug 2013 26,743 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor If they scan you and it turns out that you're just brewing up a dose of tonsillitis, that's OK. If they assume it's a dose of tonsillitis and don't scan you and it turns out that you're brewing up a blood clot in your head, that's negligence - and a potential personal catastrophe. And don't go understating your symptoms or making light of it because you don't want to look like a daisy. Tell 'em what you're telling us.
Footpad Aug 2013 2:28pm, 21 Aug 2013 5,506 posts	Quote Pin Footpad Why are you worrying about the cost? The potential seriousness eliminates the need to even think about it! After all the scanners will be running anyways and you will just fit in the system when you can. Stop worrying about wasting time, money etc and go get seen too. Do not mention you went to Wexham Pk.... they have no way of really checking! Just stick to the facts and get them to sort you out. Off you go now

Fellrunning Aug 2013 2:36pm, 21 Aug 2013 939 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning Yes it probably is expensive. But its being funded by everyone here who pays any sort of taxes. Ergo the scans being paid for by the very people who are telling you to go get it done. Get thee to the hospital......
