Did you know I was in the hospital?

Asked by tWrex (1655points) September 17th, 2008

Ok, so I was in the hospital last week for a few days with severe stomach pain. I bloated up, had a fever and severe pain where my appendix would be – had it taken out 2 years ago. They did all types of tests and found nothing. 2 blood workups and a blood culture. Here’s my thing. I was googling something totally unrelated and came upon this story which freaked me out, because I’m like, “I was exposed to loads of radiation when I was in the Marines. I was a satcom operator. Our dishes produce nothing, but radiation. So then after looking at this and this I’m now freaked. Would my blood tests have shown that I have this AML? I’m gonna call my doctor, but I’m freakin’ out here and needed an answer quick. Yeah. That’s right. I came to fluther for medical advice. Yes I’m an idiot. It’s ok though. So… Anyone?
