My doctor told me I was having mini strokes and had to go to the ER. Sat for 8 hours in the ER . There was a girl there a little younger than me telling them about the same exact symptoms I had. I finally had enough after they told me to wait for the eighth time, and stormed out.

Went home. Woke up blind. I had the stroke in my sleep that night. (1/10, don't recommend).

Then I had to go to three specialists before I could go back to the ER and be let into triage.

So, yeah. This comic is dead on accurate.

"a girl there a little younger than me". May I ask roughly your age at the time? I must confess I associate strokes with the elderly or people well into their middle age already. Is it also common among children?

Lots of adults call women girls for some weird reason.

Lots of adults call men boys too, and it’s not weird. In fact there’s a whole TV about it
