So I do contracted security for a courthouse. Theres me, and one other full-time guard here. If one of us calls off, our company can send a fill in, but one of the normal guys always has to be there.

So my normal co worker is having issues with his Gallbladder, and is scheduled to have it taken out on Monday, and be out the rest of the week.

Anyways, Ive been having tightness in my chest for about a week or so. It can be on/off all day basically, comes and goes. But I dont think its related to stress or anxiety.

My family has a history of high blood pressure, and mine was a little high the last couple times I was tested at work.

So hopefully I dont have a heart attack

Might just go straight to the hospital, and skip my physician.

Otherwise I gotta wait until at least 10/5.

its against the law for them to prevent you from seeing treatment or leveraging your job because of health issues.

People would have you believe that the accusation of racism is more offensive than ACTUAL racism.

I mean definitely my health. But my health doesnt pay my mortgage, car note, etc.

Obviously you need to be healthy to work, but yeah.

Just really frustrating

I called my job to see if we could work something out. They already have 7 shifts to fill next week, and therefore dont have the guards to cover it.

Guess I have to emergency care/ER and pay an absurd amount.

Found out my deductible is 7.3k lmfao

Gave me a breathing treatment, and did an EKG. No answers unfortunately, wish I know what was going on

Couldn't you just go to an urgent care facility that's open outside your shift.

They just called my mom, telling her I need to schedule surgery for after my physical therapy?

They didnt mention anything on Saturday, and said I seemed totally fine.

This is why I dont fuck with doctors.

Have they told you what is going on? Unless you're a minor they shouldn't be involving your mom like that

No, I'm not sure why they called her. It was a completely different hospital network, too.

The place that I went to didnt know anything about it. The place that called me put me on hold indefinitely every time, so who knows
