Since all my blood work came back negative, the doctor scheduled an appointment for me at the Hospital on Tuesday(Which means I get to miss the last two hours of school, yay!), to get an ECG/EKG done.

I'm nervous, though, because I don't even really know what it's for and how long it takes.

Has anyone ever had one before?

The world is only as sweet as you make it and only as terrible as you see it

The results can be analysed immediately as the doctor can interpret the waves, the distances and the sizes, if one of them is inverted, etc.

Good luck, hope it goes well!

To find yourself, think for yourself.

Honestly it's kind of fun if you talk to your doctor and if you are in a position where you can see the screen. I'm an asshole so I basically made the guy explain every part of the heart to me and how everything was working and how good my heart was compared to others he'd seen (apparently very, but then again most ECG are done on old ass people so I doubt he had much to compare with).
