"chest pain"


This sign gives hints for how to get attention in a hurry: alleged symptoms. Thanks, Diana.

  1. At least they credit the spanish-speaking community with enough sense to recognize the difference between "feeling gassy" and "chest pains." English speakers are just sooo like that, you know?

  2. Wendy - seems more to me like discrimination! Spanish speaking patients need REAL pain, but the English speaking ones can fake it...

  4. Well, it is fairly common for first-time mothers to imagine they are in active labor when they're not.

    (My midwife always said if you can talk through it, it's probably not an active stage labor contraction.)
