In fact, nothing went the way it was supposed to. Everything went wrong and he didnt get on his flight. As a result, he stayed in San Francisco. The following is summary what happen.Yesterday he got up at usual and had breakfast. Everything seemed to be fine and he was looking forward to the trip. He was just about to check out of his hotel when he felt the pain. It was a pain on his lower back. It was a dorm pain at first, not too bad. So he didnt worry about it and he checked out the hotel. Then he got on a shuttle bus to the airport. About half way to the airport, the pain in his back started to get worse. It was a growing pain and he was beginning to worry. Soon it was difficult for him to sit in his seat. The pain was getting worse. He wanted to lie down. He started to swear and breathe quickly. He was in real pain then. As a scale of 1 to 10, the pain was an 8.When the bus got to the airport, the bus driver helped him to get off. It was difficult for him to walk but he finally made it to the terminal. Inside the terminal, he went to the mens bathroom. He went to the toilet but that didnt help. Instead of improving, his felt dizzy and he threw up. By now, he was wet from all his sweating. He knew he couldnt get on his flight. He used his phone to call airline. He explained the situation and cancelled his reservation. Then he called 911 for an emergency help. 911 is the emergency number to call for help in the United States.An ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after he called. By then, he was in so much pain that he could barely walk. Once inside the ambulance, they gave him oxygen to help him to breathe. But the pain was still terrible. Then they drove to a hospital near the airport. Luckily, the hospital was on his health plan. That means his health insurance is supposed to pay for everything. Medical costs in the United States are very high. When he arrived to the hospital, he was taken to the emergency room. After some tests, a doctor told him he had a kidney stone. It was a very small stone, but it caused a lot of pain. It was passing through a small tube in his body from his kidney to his bladder. The pain will go away once it got to his bladder. Until then he had to get pain medicine to reduce the pain. Harry didnt have to stay in hospital for very long. With the pain medicine, the pain went away very quickly. He took a taxi back to his hotel and checked in for another night. Then he called the airline and made a reservation for another flight. The flight will leave tomorrow. Until then, he will just rest in his hotel. There may be a good movie to watch. So when youre traveling, please prepare for the emergencies. Make sure you had a medical insurance. You never know when something like this can happen to you. So be prepared.懂你英语Level3 Unit 3Unit 3-3 vocabulary能源和词性Solar energy is one of the cleanest and most plentiful sources of energy.
