CT scan was to check for blockages which showed a slight blockages in my bowel.
I am not a healthcare worker so I do not know protocol. In the 12 hours I was in the ER they never drew blood. They took my blood pressure when I arrived but did not taken any vitals when I finally went back to the ER. Mentioned to the nurse and he took my blood pressure - which was 9 hours after arriving.
I would think they would have drawn blood to check white blood cells - but they didn't.
I am blessed to be healthy so I checked myself out and leaving in the morning to go back to Atlanta, where we live most of the year.
I love TV - just not the healthcare system.
What I took from this experience was to check out healthcare before I really need it. Will be looking for primary care doc at Shands.
