Anyway thanks to those who wished me well and/or gave gout advice. I have a number of texts from radio listeners, as well, who suffer from gout and are telling me how they are managing it. I appreciate those, as well.

Bottom line is I went to an ER, was refused to see a doctor (or even a PA) the entire way, and the process was such a clusterfuck with basically nobody in charge that I was double-prescribed existing meds, and then told to take them anyway when I objected.

Anyone who defends this is a drooling retard.
