 DD> I spent about 7 1/2 hours in the local ER on Friday last. Got all
 DD> light headed and felt like I was three drinks into a nice toot. So, I
 DD> went to the ER. Got right in when I mentioned some tightness in my
 DD> chest. Geez, my BP going in was 72/50 - which explained the light
 DD> headedness and feeling buzzed. So they vampired me three times, did
 DD> two EKGs, two chest X-rays, and a CAT scan of my head and I watched my
 DD> BP come back up on the monitor I was plugged into. Saw three ER docs
 DD> and several nurses and techs.

Sounds about right...  ;0   And it looks like they were ruling out
stroke, heart attack, blood clots in the lungs...  meanwhile your body
settled itself out...  :)

 DD> Finally the resident, (who was also the
 DD> first doc I saw) doing his stint in ER before getting cast into the 
 DD> mainstream was going over my meds list and asked me which pills I took
 DD> together. BINGO! Something in the Prilosec was kicking up the Zestril
 DD> (BP med) to notches unknown. So, on his recommendation I now take the
 DD> Prilosec at night - and haven't had a problem since.

Good catch.  Often the ones fresh out of school are good that way.  Meds
interactions can be sneaky...  ;0

 DD> The only problem I had with the ER was that they don't feed and it had
 DD> been a  long time since breakfast. They also squawked about even giving
 DD> me water until  they asked the main ER croaker.

Yeah... they can't do anything without "orders" from the attending...
and they generally don't give anything by mouth just in case you might
need emergency procedures or surgery...

 DD> Title: Barefoot Contessa's Chicken Piccata

I see you've been posting a string of picatta recipes that don't call
for capers...  ;)
