yeah the dr. was a total moron...we waited forever...luckily he's ok (or so they say >< ) but what if he'd actually been dying? he coulda been dead and the dr. was nowhere to be found. he got an EKG and x-rays and they sent him to a room. we waited there for over an hour and the dr. comes, says "your ekg was fine i'm gonna get some x-rays" we're like, "uh...we already went and got em" and he's like "ok i'm gonna go look at them" over an hour later he comes back and says they looked fine. told us its probably just a chest wall problem (didn't elaborate and was in a hurry to rush us out) and said "i'm gonna give you this prescription, we're gonna unhook you from the machines and you can go" then almost another 30mins to an hr. later someone unhooked him, then about 15 mins waiting to do paperwork before we could leave....

the prescription is indomethican (sp?), an anti-inflammitory

thank you everyone for your thoughts though...especially you birdgirl...i can't help but think your words are what finally prompted him to get offa his arse and go in
