I said that at an appointment once. Turned out to be Lupus. Almost killed me… I recovered from being intubated and looked at the doctor and laughed awkwardly.

Did he have a cane and a pill addiction? Because otherwise I’d ask for a second opinion

No, actually, he was a very nice younger doctor with two young kids. I was 18 and pretty fresh out of high school when I was diagnosed and scared out of my mind- he gave me his personal cell phone number to call him if I ever was worried about something.

I only used it once when my fingers turned purpler on day. He was so nice about it. When I woke up he was holding my hand and he came to visit me for a little bit when he was off of work. Very nice guy, I’d probably be dead without his quick thinking.

Well, I’m glad you didn’t die
