Going to the ER / ED, walking in, telling the TWO ladies dealing with ONE person that I am choking, on a bay leaf lodged in my throat, being asked if I am with that guy and having said, No, being told to take a seat and wait.
Some F bombs on my part as I sat down. Proceed to keep gagging and coughing when after a couple of minutes I succeed in finally coughing up the bloody bay leaf. I held it up in the air for the ladies to see and showed it to the guard and left. I took a picture of the bloody bay leaf in the car. Went to an affiliated Urgent Care and told them what happened and asked to be checked out. They obliged me and the physician came out and gave me a look see at the counter telling me that he really couldn't do much to help me with my cut up throat and once we established that there was no more danger explained a few things satisfactorily. My primary reason for going there was to document my experience.
It was agreed that in general when someone says they are choking that they should be attended to immediately. I guess because I could speak that the ladies did not believe me.
I have some phone number to call tomorrow and will be in my onc's office on Wed for a regular appointment. This should be a teachable moment, that when someone says that they are choking that they should be believed and dealt with sooner (as in immediately) rather than later (take a seat and wait your turn).

Bummer! I found one copy of the CDs on Etsy for sale at 39.99 - Now I'm pretty sure nobody bought the CD except friends and family who did a pity purchase... all right now... which one of them is selling the last copy of Time Water on Etsy at a jacked up price?

I'll look some more but so far all I get is the big dog. Thanks, tho. *Nope. Ain't there. And their email doesn't accept incoming anymore either. Click on https://www.amazon.com/gp/help...You will be asked to log in and it should get you to where you need to go to actually speak with someone.
