Getting Sick at Work

How many nurses have gotten sick at work and have had to go to the ER? I had a crazy experience last night and ended up in my hospitals ER for TIA-like symptoms. All my tests came back negative thank goodness, plus I am not even in my thirties yet and have no risk factors for a TIA, so the MD isn't really sure what was going on with me. Just wondering if anyone else has been in the middle of their shift and ended up in the ER......

    I was charge in the ER, and became SOB, dizzy and BP out of whack. Thought I thrown another PE after a long car trip the day before (yes I had taken my baby aspirins!). Got stuck in one of my own rooms on a busy night. Used the call bell to tell my relief charge all the things going on that I had been trying to take care of, :lol2:, they all told me to hush and let them take care of it. Turned out to be a bronchospasm with incipient (nasty) bronchitis.

    Never in the ER thankfully! I did have one night where I had to leave in the middle of the night because i was having intractable n/ and throwing up every 5 minutes. There have been several times when I have nearly passed out but thankfully

    I have been able to run to the closet to sit down.
