only dizzy One lays eggs, you might choose to lie down or lay the book on the table, but not lay down in the ER. If you were dissy then you should have told the triage nurse and he would have translated that into "dizzy" or "near syncope" and correlated your vital signs, across the room assessment and history, got to love the computerized medical record, and seen that you have been dissy for the past three months and that the baby with the blue lips might need to go in front of you. Sorry maybe too long in triage or too long married to a teacher. Which brings up one last question...... how the heck did you get through English 101?
