If you get  rat, cut it's tail off and, well let's just say it works just like you'd expect

You go from a Fighter to a Knight, right?

And now I'm getting reports from home that Hiro is acting strangely in his sleep, waking up and behaving similar to how he does when he's getting into a hypoglycemic episode.... but his blood sugar isn't low.  In fact, it's raised by 100 in the past hour.  WTF

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm sure you know this, but get him to a doctor ASAP.

[SalmonGod]

Apparently he's stopped.  My guess is stomach pains.  He's acted that way because of them before.

When he's speaking in tongues and growing horns, you'll realize it wasn't just stomach aches.

I remember doing heart dissections. We used them as hand-puppets.

I remember heart dissection. I remember I found a artery, and I could stick a glass rod straight through it out the other side. Sheep hearts are cool.

Now this has gotten my mind on my geoscience survey year back as a first-semester freshman; the lab exam was awesome, they just stuck us in a room with 50 mineral samples and told us to identify them all, including how we determined what they were.

It's too bad Salmon isn't in Canada. My first instinct, because of how cheap it is (check-ups and diagnosis are free, and at least with my drug plan, I get to only pay 10% of medication), would be to take him to the doctor.

But, it's cold in Canada. Coooooold.

And wheeeere do you go if you get frostbite?

[Gotdamnmiracle]

MooseBusters, obviously.

We have those up in Alaska. Real standup guys. No Idea where they got the old fire truck though.

[PanH]

In a coffin. And they won't even bury you, because the soil is frozen. This is how cruel Canadians are. I'm sure they'll laugh over my dead little frozen body, with their nationality bonus : Frost resistance +2

He's on Medicaid, so the doctor visit isn't a problem.  Although, I don't know yet if that ambulance ride is going to be covered.  That could cost us as much as $1,200, based on what I've heard from other people who have had to use ambulances.

The biggest problem is getting away from work.  Emergency visits are looooooooong.  That episode a couple days ago took up about 9 hours.  I missed two days of work.  I can get away with that without endangering my job, because I have pre-approved FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) coverage for his condition.  All that does is guarantee that they can't fire me for it.  Any time I take off based on it is unpaid.  So I've missed two days of pay already, on top of possibly horrid ambulance costs.  I also only have two days pre-approved per month.  Past that, I have to go through a whole bunch of paperwork and convince them that the two days they gave me in anticipation of occasional complications wasn't enough this time.

So I have to weigh situations like this carefully, because of worker's rights being absolutely horrible here.  I also live in a "Right to Work" state, which literally means that they can fire me any time they fucking want for almost any reason and I have zero recourse.
