I’m loving the “washing the organs” line. That almost made ME throw up! Oh well, at least you can now prove you’re as tough as you act..!! So glad you’re better now…we were all worried…

Get well soon, Sam! What a story – well told, especially the shout out to the Price is Right. The silver lining on any sick day!

I’ve had some pretty bad experiences at hospitals in the past; but the worst was my friend who had knee surgery at the Misericordia (this was many years ago) – the doctor botched the surgery and ultimately fled the country when it came to light that he botched ALL of his surgeries. Nice, eh?

The good news is that you’re alive and you’ll get better. And when you do (or even before) the beer’s on me!

Glad you lived to tell about it Sam! And hope you have a speedy recovery!
I took my mom to Misercordia once since we also thought it was an ER, and no one told us otherwise. My mom waited there 4 hours and said that pretty much no one was being seen the entire time she was there, so she just gave up and left.
Makes you wonder how many other people think that place is a qualified Emergency Room hospital with qualified health professionals. Obviously after your story, the Misercordia has none of that!

On a positive note, I’ve been to the Misercordia xray department 2 times and it was super fast! But that is a total different department… Too bad appendix aren’t made of bone!

Jeepers Boomba! I didnt realize how serious it was. And i do concur that misericordia is a horrible place, and thanks to you i now know that it is not a hospital. weird! Anyhow, glad your doing well, and i hear the cure for being ill is a good drunk evening.

No specific cause, my appendix just got perforated, then burst.

I forgot to mention, the doctor said that most likely it had been perforated and leaking that whole previous week that I was sick and that when I felt good on Thursday, it was probably because it finally burst and relieved some of the pressure.

Wow, Sam! Sorry to hear about THAT ordeal! I’ll remember not to go to the mis. next time I’m ill. What caused this to happen, anyway?

Hey I drew a picture of your organs getting washed. Not sure why exactly I chose to depict that, but when I visited you, you told me how they had to rinse off your organs, and I guess that image stuck with me. I’m posting it on my blog(http://juliasartmark.blogspot.com)

So glad that you have recovered!
