Lea had a headache for the last week that would not go away. Last night, she had a slight fever and
chills. Deciding enough was enough, we
went to the emergency room at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah driving right by
Overlake and Group Health in Bellevue on the way.
She was taken back to an examination room before she finished handing
over her insurance card. Within 30
minutes, an MD talked with her and prescribed three headache medicines by pill. Lea took those, listened to me read my latest
Barbara Frederichs book, Love 2.0, and
napped for 30 minutes. On awakening, her
headache was gone. Another 30 minutes of
waiting to be sure she was okay and 30 minutes for the paperwork and we were
out of there.
We are grateful for multiple medical choices and powerful medications
to help us in our time of need.
