Even the paramedics looked a little dubious when scooping me off the bathroom with acute pancreatitis. Admittedly even I was a little dubious about the amount of pain I was in and saying "I'm normally much better than this at handling pain".

Fortunately the A&E consultant must have been better at reading things, because he ignored the car crash victim with multiply splinted limbs on the next trolley, shot me full of morphine and walked me through the system himself.
