Interesting...
A SL friend of mine is in med school, and following my recent emergency room visit, I sent him an e-mail suggesting he not get like some of the nurses I had the..pleasure? of dealing with, but instead be more like the doctor.

He and I are chatting right now and the conversation is amazing, honestly.  He's asked where the pain was, giving me reasoning as to why the whole trip took so long, and shaking his head that certain tests (blood tests) were NOT done.

It's somewhat enlightening, in a way, but very amusing as well.

When I checked myself into the psych ward I sat in a chair in the ER for 4 hours. Not a room, a chair.

Yup, mine wasnt' much better. I had beds, but.. 45 mins to an hour of chair, move to one bed, lie there (uncorfortably as it was either stare at the celing or hold my head up to talk to my mom), move to another bed, SIT on it (becuase they hadn't instructed me on which bed to use, I just assumed it was the one with the exam stuff by it, seeing as how I was having an exam done), lie down briefly for exam, then go back out for anohter just over an hour of chair.

It was... blah. I'd rather have had the chair.

Into hour three I found myself thinking "Wow, I should have just attempted, then at least I'd get a room." And then I realized how dark that was. >.>

x.x! Ok, you win. Worst for me was hour 1.5-2, when I sat there thinking "Maybe I should have jsut seen if my med student friends were online.."

Be careful. He might have gotten his medical degree from SL. I'd get a third opinion is what I'm saying.

Oh, I don't rely on what he's said too much. Even if it werent' through SL, he's still just a student, so there's room for improvement.

But his take on things and what should and shouldn't have happened was quite enlightening.
