NewsBusters associate editor Noel Sheppard found himself unexpectedly tweeting from the emergency room and a hospital bed Saturday.

So now I'm actually in my own room with a hospital gown on. All this to cure conservatism?

Doctor says 90% of bronchitis cases are viral. So why give me antibiotics Monday?

Gorgeous Dominican nurse just drew 3 viles of blood. Why couldn't it have been 4?

To all the haters claiming I have no blood, I just saw three viles full. So there.

Take that, haters.

It's becoming likely that for the third Sunday in a row I'll be watching football in bed. Feel like I'm 100 yrs old.

I know I'd become instantly better if Bill Clinton would feel my pain.

In about 2 hrs I'm gonna be by myself in a hospital without my laptop and a dead phone. I've gone to hell.

I wonder if anyone at this hospital knows how to make a martini with bleu cheese olives.

CT scan done. Now the big wait to see if I need a biopsy. Cross those fingers.
