I am sitting at CVS waiting for my prescription for the excruciating muscle spasms in my back that had me in the ER for 3 hours this morning.  I think ER docs are the worst.  They treat you like you're stupid.  They never trust that patients could possibly know what's going on in their bodies.  I clearly knew exactly what was happening with me today.  I had a severe spasm of my left side erector spinea  muscle.  It was so bad that I had no choice but to go to the ER, but the doctor acted like I was crazy and ordered all these tests and x-rays.  I said I didn't need all that but the doctor said if I died it would be my own fault.  Well, I didn't want my own death  on my conscience, so I had the tests.  Guess what my diagnosis was?  Muscle spasms!  Can you believe it?  Who would have guessed that a patient was actually in tune with the body they live in and could identify the problem without a doctor?  If only I could have written my own prescription!   It's a rare rainy day in LA, so I'm happy I get to wear my funky rain boots.  That's my silver lining today I guess.
