Almost nobody visits the ER for fun or on a whim. It sounds like your visit ended with a positive outcome. Hopefully that is true. The fact that you gained new insights can bring some positivity to what is usually a very negative experience.

It happened a while ago, but I just decided to pull the trigger on my saved list. I learned a lot! Turned out okay. Thank you.
