So I went to give flu shots today 6 weeks into the new semester. It was only suppose to take 2 hours. I had a busy morning before I went to the hospital. I didnt eat much, didnt drink much, plus I have low BP to begin with. After standing almost motionless in a closet-sized room for 30 minutes, i fainted. I began feeling dizzy while administering a shot, but I wanted to power through it. I did, and then fell to the ground.
Ended up going to the ER for an EKG to rule out dysrhymmias, but after waiting 5 hours, I left AMA. Didnt even stick around for EKG results cause it woulda taken who knows how many more hours.
So ya, crappy day. Though I got a firsthand experience of how much it sucks to be an ER patient.
