Tuesday evening I was having dinner with my wife and experienced a shooting pain across the top of my skull, followed by vertigo and one side of my face going numb. Well off to the ER where I am triaged as a possible stroke. In the exam room with three nurses and two female doctors and wife, one of the nurses says put on this exam gown. I am wearing silver satin panties with lace edging. Not a word said. No one cared, even me. I was more concerned with my health.

Well the end of the story is I had gone to the chiropractor earlier in the day and the manipulation caused issues with the facial nerve extending from my neck. Two days later I still have a numbness but otherwise in good health.

In hind sight, the only thing I am glad of, is that there were no male nurses or doctors in the room. May have made me a little more squeamish about the situation.
