Hospital visit...

Ok, so I had a couple of questions for my doctor yesterday, so I called her office and... guess what?... she was "out of the office." Not only was SHE out of the office, but the other OB at the practice was "out of the office." I just kept thinking, what if I was going into labor??? It is pretty crazy that BOTH of the OB's at the office are out on the same day! Anyway, I ended up talking to one of the regular nurses and, of course, she couldn't give me the answers I was looking for (even after consulting another nurse). So, she tells me the last thing I wanted to hear, "Why don't you just go down the to hospital and get looked at..." I tried to tell her that I didn't really think it was THAT important, that I was just letting the office know what was going on, but she insisted that I go anyway. So we took a trek down to the hospital to see what was what. It was INSANE down there. At that point I was really glad that I wasn't going into labor because they were FULL. There were women waiting in the lobby. Anyway, after sitting there for two hours on the monitors they decided that everything was fine and that we could go home. I told the nurse at the office that it was NOTHING! But she didn't believe me. If the doctors had been in the office it would have probably been a five minute phone call instead of a two hour hospital visit. LAME!
