I will say that was not on my mind in any way. I also was 21 years old and I was like, my tummy always hurts. I'm a girl and I eat a lot of dairy. Like I wasn't even worried really. I just was like, I don't feel good. Please help.
You just want an x-ray, right? That's what you're looking for. Yeah. Like take a picture of my insides, please.
Yeah. So I go in. I am there for about eight hours. They give me an x-ray. I get a CAT scan. But I found out through this process that it's incredibly hard to get like an IV in my arms or even draw blood at all.
You're not vascular. No.
not at all so they couldn't give me i think it's iodine when you go to a cat scan through an iv which is quicker but i had to drink it over hours and then i had to go get my cat scan so it took forever after like eight hours has passed the doctor comes in but he's like i don't know how to tell you this your appendix has ruptured and your entire body is infected oh my god
You're like almost septic.
Holy shit. I was beyond septic. I didn't know that at the time. I also didn't know what septic was at the time. He didn't say that. He just was like, we have to get you immediately to a hospital and you're going to have to go get an emergency surgery. He's calling all these hospitals in the area and nobody has a bed for me because it's COVID. Oh my God.
Because I needed an interventional radiologist, but I also needed a specific kind of surgeon because there was also like an abscess from the rupture and my organs were failing, leaking.
You're a trooper.
Dahlia, I would also say, could you go grab that nurse that almost didn't let me in? I'd like to talk to him.
I feel like his name is Nick. I don't remember, but I did tell him he was an asshole.
Oh, good.
The nurses were helping me out. And I was like, you know, the short guy, the short nurse in the front. I'm short, too. So no hate. But I was like, he was so mean to me. What if I would have gone home?
You would have died. You died on the car ride.
I would have died. And then he comes in later. I told them not to tell him, but they did. And he came in. He's like, so you think I'm an asshole? And I was like, yes, I do. They had given me so much anti-anxiety meds at this point. I'm gone. Oh my God, he's trying to flirt.
Yeah, he really thought I was into that. They call the nearest hospital. They don't have beds for me. I have to go to the next state over because they're the only hospital that has the surgeon and the radiologist that I need. I get in the ambulance and they're like asking me all these questions. I'm in and out of consciousness.
I don't know if it's from literally dying or from the drugs that are in my system. The last thing I remember is just them asking me the questions and then I wake up and I have had surgery. I think that I just had an appendectomy and I'm going to go home. I did not know, but I was fully septic, if not beyond. My white blood cell count was so far beyond the qualifications for sepsis.
The doctors were like, did you not feel pain? You're like a miracle. How are you walking? How are you here? And so I just was like, yeah, I felt pain, but I thought I was constipated. Yeah. So I spent about 10 days in the hospital with a lot of morphine, a lot of antibiotics, a lot of fluids, a lot of drugs. Drawing my blood was absolutely necessary and they just couldn't do it sometimes.
And they would just come back and keep trying and keep trying. Oh my God. That was worse than anything else. Trigger warning for needles everywhere on my arms and my hands. It was so bad.
Why didn't they put a line in?
