Second Opinion

So, my brother, the doc, tells me that when I faint in doctor’s offices, it’s not a fight-or-flight response. That’s a sympathetic response that sends blood to the extremities that need it. Instead, I’m having a vasovagal reaction, which is a rapid drop in blood pressure connected to the parasympathetic nervous system.

Then he told me I’m a wus. I think that’s a clinical term.
