• 2007.12.07: Stomachache was so bad that I stayed home for the whole day and did not go to work

• 2007.12.08T17:00: Had an CT scan. Doctors think that it's an appendicitis and decided that I'd need surgery
• 2007.12.08T18:00: Sister finally got wind that I am hospital and got to my hospital
• 2007.12.08T19:00: We have jointly decided that it's best for me to switch to a better hospital for surgery so I signed myself out against medical advice, hop on a car service and get on my way to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Cornell Weill Medical Center
