Jamie saved me from many more tests and questions
I was given food that I couldn't really eat due to swallowing issues, and when I went to open my apple juice, something happened on the TV, and I turned my head very quickly. Well, when I did, I got really dizzy, which is why I'm here. I got dizzy, and I passed out multiple times, and they were looking into autoimmune diseases and some really scary stuff about my heart. Jamie looked at me when that happened and said "do that again", and so I did and got dizzy again, that's when she started smiling she starts typing stuff to my doctor. I was curious about what, and she said, "You just had a vertigo episode. I need a doctor to confirm this, but I think it might be your ears, not your heart," and she was right. I'm getting discharged today; the doctors don't have to put a camera down my throat, which was the next test that they were going to do on me. I get to go home again. They saved me from many more tests and questions just by being observant and caring about what I ate.
