Feel lucky its not something worse. I went to an ENT with what I thought were symptoms of a sinus infection and was told to go see a neuroligist because I might have a brain tumor. I was lucky it was a stroke and not a tumor.

I don't know why people don't go see the doctor in these situations. Lack of good judgement I guess.

dude, my dad cut his thumb on a table saw last year, wouldnt go to a doctor. looked all fvckced up and everything. didnt cut it OFF, but cut a huge hunk out of his finger....after that i was sure he was an idiot.
