REALLY freaked me, was waiting in the ER, being told I was a lo priority, by, CLERK, w/obviously not professional training... and having my neuropathy and acute pains move up from below the ankle bone to the knee at the 12th hour of 15- I waited before seen/triaged...I believe, after the 13th hour, I walked up to the ER waiting room and LOUDLY asked why? and that things were getting worse? this was about 2AM, I had a 'hand written note pad' turned around so I could view thru the 'yep' bullet-proof glass-oid to assure me Iwould be next on their priority list...I do believe IF I'd said Heart ATTACK! I'd have gotten in, as the 'place' aspires to be a cardiac treatment center. Maybe, because of the 'triage-neglect'? I mite have avoided all This! UMM, after I spoke up, 7 folks left the ER, some there from before me, most after I'd gotten there. This clerk, BTW, was ever so surprised I was admitted. Well, that took another 4-6hours? I dp NOT look forward or ask for the 'Oh, Gee, Let's spend the DAY at the ER route, unless truly necessary..as it seems they won't do anything other than 'stabilize' you and kick you out,,, even tho.

Thing is, from all I've read, gathered, learned, intuited or whatever...soo many variables can come into play...it's a durned gamble if ANYONE ever finds out ANYTHING about US. Seems the only ones who TRY are US. What's all that POGO Said? Someone else please, quote that all!

Billye, seems it's a solid maybe as to right or left or super equal. In my case, it's the left more than right and am right handed...Stroke? Duh, no indications or whatevers. go figger? Still compensating after all these years? Do you have good dice to roll? That is my take.
