ME: So I'm trying to look up gallbladder attack symptoms, and man these patient sites are TERRIBLE. They're explaining it to you like you're a fairly stupid first grader.

DAD: Or a family practice doctor.


Doctors have opinions, it would seem.

... Yeah, this thing's gotta come out. That was not a fun night.

The little residents really enjoyed poking me in the stomach and watching me go "ERK."

I got that with the referred pain when I got a checkup. My doctor was all, "Now I'm going to poke you in the back" and I was like "But I don't have pain in my baAAAACK okay I see what you mean there."

That actually sounds about like what I'd expect. Even minor surgery can upset your system! I just think it's already upset anyway.

Yeah that whole general anesthesia thing is sorta hard on the system, and then there's the whole removing a small organ part. But it's not so bad. Worse than having my tonsils out, but only because I foolishly wanted to do things like sit up in the week following.
