[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 4140829, member: 46613"] Some years ago, had a really bad sinus headache. Then came the fever. The headache became like an "ice cream headache" that one gets from eating something frozen too quick. Go to the doctor ... he says it's my sinuses and gives me some antibiotics. Couple days go by, not getting better so on a Sunday we go to the ER. He tells me that I am really sick and they are admitting me to the hospital. I told him I have some work to do on Monday ... he tells me I can go do the work and die or go to the hospital. Hospital it is. They are checking me out ... one doctor checks my fanny, I throw up. Only thing that came to my mind was telling him, "Looks like I a not gay." Seven tries to give me a spinal tap before it took. Once they did that, I was a new man. Not my sinuses ... I had meningitis. EDIT ... To add ... About a month later, the first doctor's office sent us a bill for the misdiagnosis. My wife calls them about it, they ask if she would like to pay now and she "gently" explained why she would not be paying. They had to agree. [/QUOTE]
