Thread is dying so I'll contribute; not a doctor but had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, was sick for two years, BEACOPP - 14. I have been to emergency so many fucking times. I've got heaps about shit done to me and about others let me know if you want more.
>Be me in bed 8:00pm
>Wake up at 10, temperature of 38, welp fuck off to hospital I go
For anyone who doesn't know if you are having chemotherapy and you're temperature hits 38 or over you have to bail straight to the hospital as it is a sign of possible infection. Which you have no immune system to fight.
>Get to ED, wait
