What caused you to be borked this time? At least you have a day off to look forward to.

horrendous gut pain. Whimper-inducingly, stomach-clutchingly bad, so my boss made me go to the hospital. They faffed about for a few hours, said I was dehydrated and told me to go home, drink fluids and take painkillers.
1) they gave me ibuprofen on an empty stomach, which is a big no-no
2) ibuprofen is contraindicated in gastric problems, because it can cause or exacerbate gastric problems
3) I was dehydrated because I couldn't eat or drink, the pain was that bad
4) They didn't actually do a damn thing about what I went in for
so I was understandably quite cross. However, I don't feel that bad right now, so I suppose its not such a big deal. Gawd'elp them if I feel like shit tomorrow, because I will go back and spread it around.

It's what we're here for.
Couldn't you have had some water before you took the ibuprofen?
Even if you feel better tomorrow, you deserve a day off.
