Get Checked: When your instincts flash and tell you something's wrong and should be checked out, it is important to heed such thoughts. Sometimes we get embarrassed or worry we will be told it was "nothing" or that we should not have come in. Yet that quiet voice that knows the correct action--follow that intuition first. "really bad" stomach pains sound serious or i don't think you would have written: go in.
