Stingrays!

So, I went surfing the other day, and the worst thing ever* happened to me. I got stung by a stingray. I was getting out of the water and it stung me. It felt like a needle going into my foot. I walked out and tried to convince myself i had just stepped on a rock, but my foot started to burn really bad. I decided to drive myself up to scripps and go to the urgent care there (i know my insurance works there) only i forgot about rush hour traffic. that sucked. i finally got to urgent care*I realize many worse things could in fact have happened - i.e. shark attack, drowning, struck by lightning, helicopter landing on me, seeing billy bob thorton in speedos.... I am talking about the worst thing that has happened to me while surfing to date. jesus people, just let it go.My play of pain(my god, i am so bored right now....)Me: can i see a doctor? my foot hurts really bad, i think i stepped on something and it burns.Nurse: fill out this formMe: um, okay(fill out form, crying)um, it really hurts and i think it's spreadingNurse: please have a seatMe: okay(i sit down, stare a the guy sitting across me who has his arm around a girl, he looks odly familiar)Guy: Hey, you look really familiarMe: ya (sniffle) you do too, did you go to poway high?Guy: yaMe: felicia, i mean, im feliciaGuy: Im ronyMe: oh, did you go to twin peaks or tierra bonita?Guy: ya, bothMe: i remember you younger is all(pause, attempting to make conversation through the pain)so, what are you guys doing here?Rony: (weird look) uh, we're at the hospitalMe: oh. ya.nurse calls me in bit later. nurse: so it your foot hurtsme: yanurse: let me take your blood pressureme: uh, okay, my foot really hurtsnurse: i could put a cold compress on it.doctor comes in a bit laterdoctor: oh, it's a stingray sting, we just need to soak it in hot water (so what the fuck was the cold compress all about?!)ill come back and check on you in a bit.comes back in a bitme: I really need to go, i have class in 45 min and i can't miss it. doctor: don't worry, i'll write you a note.me: uh, she won't care, she doesn't accept doctors notes.doctor: really?me: ya, she's kinda strictdoctor: you know if you take your foot out of the water, it's gonna start hurting again.me: uh, ya, she's really strictdoctor: um, okay. let me write you a prescription for tonight so you can get to bed.me: thanks(doctor is writing out prescription)doctor: are you sure you want to leave?me: ya, i just came in to make sure i wasn't going to lose my foot or anything.doctor: oh, don't worry, that only happens 2-3 days after the factme: (pause, realize he's joking) oh, ya i bet i'll get a discount on shoes then.doctor: ya, and you'll have to give away all your left foot shoes.me: ya, so what causes all the pain anywaydoctor: the toxin, it's a proteinme: a protein, a stupid protein is what's causing me all this pain?! damn it all, i hate proteins.doctor: (funny look) ya.....damn it, someone post something to amuse me while im at work.
