So it was about 9 in the morning when the nurse comes in saying that I need to have my gastric study and if I would like it now. Half asleep I replied, "can I have it in a few hours?" A few mins later the nurse comes in saying, "they want you to have it done now". All I could think to myself at that moment was "FML" since I fell asleep at 4 am and only had about 5 hrs of sleep in me. So I complied and said, "FINE lets just do it!" As I was just about up, I noticed I had a voice mail of my nurse practitioner saying in this bitchy ass tone, "Chris, you need to have the test done now"! "It's important you have it done now!" So I called her back saying I had already agreed to having it done and I almost said calm the fuck down, but I was mature and resisted.
About 20 mins later the nurse comes back in saying that the test isn't going to be performed until 11 because we waited so long. All I could think in my head was "WTF"? "There was literally a ten min period at the max where I said I wanted to have it later to I'll have it done now!" "WTF!" Already awake now and not able to fall asleep I just thought, "Fuck this place" and "these people really need to get their shit together before they wake me"!
The Gastric Emptying Stomach test as its called, started around 11:30 am where I basically just sat there eating radioactive eggs with two slices of toast and jelly on them. Then I would stand next to a scanner that took a picture of the food in my stomach for about a min. We did this for 9 times every 15 mins, so as you can guess it took awhile.
Later that day the results came back negative for both tests and everything was fine. But they still couldn't figure out the reason for my nausea and vomiting.
