FMK - Emergency Doctor Visit

I will say this for the American health care system, they do not care who you are or how long you have been waiting, they will see you when they are good and ready. Now, I understand that a pregnant lady having pre-term contractions might not seem like a big deal to professionals but I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! I want to be treated like the pain in my wife's belly is something that people care about. I don't want to wait in a hospital room for six hours before anyone decides we can go. I don't want to hear that my wife hasn't eaten enough when they won't let her eat! Christ Almighty! Whatever happened to bedside manner? Whatever happened to checking in on a patient more than once every hour and a half? Seriously, I thought they forgot about us.
OK. Mommy had some contractions today that really hurt and we went to the hospital. In fact she called me at work and said come home now and take me to the hospital. I am not a man who deals with medical surprises well. I sped home, flipped off the snow-head driving ten miles under the speed limit in front of me and pulled into the driveway guns blazing. Your mother looked at me like I was crazy and said to me, "Do you want to change your clothes or go to the bathroom?" NO! I already pooped my pants out of fear on the way over. I don't need to go.
Turns out this type of thing is normal. Especially for mother's of twins. So we got that going for us. However, they gave your mom a shot that the doctor said would make her heart race a little. I thought she was going to die. No kidding around either. I thought she was going to have a heart attack right there and that I would have to find that doctor and hurt him. I have never been more scared in my life. I could see her heart beating in her chest it was thumping that strong. She couldn't breathe and was coughing. It was singularly terrible. I never want to see her like that again. So girls, if you could, stop getting in the head first ready to go position so soon. Wait another three months and then you can. Until then just do somersaults or something.
