you'd be amazed at the quick service you get if you start shaking, fall
to the ground and muttering gibberish


I can get ahold of my cardiologist real fast, it is just that with my
insurance, everything has to come up through the tree, starting with my
GP. If it is a heart issue, I will hear back the same day. As for
pulling a seizure, they'd just call the ambulance, and take you to ER,

not if you stand up and walk out


and you would lose 16 hours in the ER while they treat Martian aliens,
and probably get a big bill with this new insurance.
