Certainly losing your hearing in one ear absolutely sounds like an emergency to me. Going death slowly over time is different.

Go back and tell them you smell burning toast.

Heh, I would, but unfortunately every time I go there and they blow me off they charge me at least a few hundred dollars. Of course I’ll never pay that, but this is why folks don’t go to the emergency room.

Also, I just want to add that this isn’t a small hospital. This is the world famous UAB hospital. You’ve probably never heard of it, but UAB the college and hospital pretty much are Birmingham, Al.

Going death slowly over time is the best case scenario.
