ah but I didn't have shortness of breath, just pain in my broken rib when I took anything but a shallow breath.. they did ask me if I was experencing shortness of breath and I replied no, I am just breathing shallow so it doesn't hurt as much. so I don't fault anyone fo rthe amount of time I waited.
