this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.

This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

humans are philosophical

Tell me more!!!!! Omg so true tho…. And then aliens reaction the “feels” we get when we read some fiction books….or an alien misunderstanding the difference between fiction and nonfiction reading some sci Fi mystery novel think ing it’s something that happened in human history…or thinking that it’s going to happen in human future….

For any who were unaware, the shock delivered by a defibrillator momentarily stops the heart and forces it to restart, hopefully regaining a normal sinus rhythm in the process.
