Turned out to be kidney stones, btw.
You'd be surprised at how many people think they're dying after eating beets and not thinking about it after. Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised, I don't know. The #### people think are emergencies can be staggering. Arm hurts? Emergency. Shoe in the face? Emergency. Didn't sleep last night? You'd better believe that's an emergency. The person you're stalking stopped answering their phone? Call the cavalry, because this one is a doozey.
