First let me say that I love your name. I know that probably doesn't mean anything to you right now.....but's it is very cool.
Now for your ER visit. I seriously doubt that the medical personnel in ER thought you were stupid or crazy. How do I Know? Because I used to work in a very busy ER. If you could see the people who use ER as their family clinic, you'd understand why you weren't taking up unnecessary space. You had a medical/emotional emergency. There are thousands of people who come to ER for a runny nose! A woman brought her 9 year old in at midnight once because she noticed that the child's eyes were a little red when they got up that morning! Yes, she waited til midnight so that we could try to take care of her daughter while fighting off the drunks and stopping the bleeding (car wreck) in the trauma room! SO, you are not stupid, crazy, etc.
Work with the hospital. Remember they can't refuse service to anyone. So, you can probably pay it out.......
Don't beat yourself over the head over this! We all panic at times and I know what an anxiety attack does to my sense of reason.....Hang in there! Pat
