They gave me compazine. Which I'd never heard of outside of instructions barked on the show ER.
Oh, I was given compazine in Canada for a migraine once. (It's an anti-nausea drug, mostly -- I had it here in the States before my appendectomy.)
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And the blood gases? Dr. Carter always got the blood gases.
Hee.
It turned out that CBC wasn't even that exciting -- it's just Complete Blood Count, so they knew how much of each blood component I have.
Of course, I'd just as soon NOT have anything medically exciting happen to me anyway...

All I ever got was an crappy icepack. They didn't even give me a kleenex to wipe the other person's blood off me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother explained all those tests to me early in ER's run. Really took the shine off. I think I've had a CBC and blood gases. Chem 7 is, I think, a panel of 7 tests. Whee...

And if I recall, there's actually a couple of different Chem tests. I think the other is a Chem 12, which of course adds five more tests to the panel.

I hope you're feeling better soon, ita. I can't imagine being in that much pain for that long of a period of time, but it'd better go away soon.
I did just experience a dizzy feeling a few minutes ago, but that was due to the severe case of deja vu I experienced reading the posts transitioning from laundry to prawns. I know I've read those posts before, and since this was the first time I've been online since last Friday, I must have dreamt them at some time in the past! I get these spells of deja vu all the time (and have since I was a kid), but can usually only attribute them to "I feel like I've done this before...", not "I know I've done this before!" My brother had a clairvoyant moment when he was 7 years old that I know of, so maybe it runs in the family?

Nope, just you.
