Called an ambulance for my husband after we called our after-hours doctor who told us to take him to the ER due to surgery complications.

I had nothing but liquid bowel movements 9 times in 2.5 hours and I started violently vomiting, which was 11-12 times. Then I started sweating. I was no longer able to hold down water or Gatorade. Then I started feeling insanely weak. I couldn’t even hold myself up to vomit anymore. My husband called the ambulance because I couldn’t make it out of the bed to go to the ER. They carry me out and load me up. They can’t ... read more
