It was reported that the patient was fine the whole day he got the vaccine, he ran errands and did things he needed to do, he went to bed and woke up and felt hot and cold and on 17Apr2021, he was having hard time going to the bathroom. He called his son and told him he wasn't feeling well on an unspecified date in Apr2021 and his son came over and called his other son who is a fireman and he told them to call the ambulance so they did and they took him to the hospital and they couldn't figure out, he was asking them and they had no answer, he just seen on the website and he has been wanting to call but he wasn't going to but he did so that they would have it documented. He confirms when the cramping and feeling of hot and cold and difficulty using the bathroom began it was after midnight and the date was 17Apr2021. When asked if the feeling of hot and cold is ongoing, he says he was in the hospital for 8 days. When asked if the feeling of hot and cold is ongoing or has it recovered, he says he just had the feeling of being tired on an unspecified date in Apr2021 and out of it even after the fact. He does not if it had to do with vaccine or if it was something, he had going on prior to that. The ER doctor told him it was possible that when he got the vaccine whatever could have been going on and put his system in overload. He confirms he was admitted to the hospital due to blockage in the intestine supposedly, the lower intestine. He says that is recovered, everything got taken care of, he had to schedule a colonoscopy after he got out of the hospital. He does not know why they couldn't have done it there while he was in the hospital. He was contemplating the second dose; it was scheduled on 07-May-2021 and he had his scheduled colonoscopy for 10-May-2021 and he didn't know what he should do. People were telling him do it or not to do it but his doctor told him to go ahead and get it so he followed what he said and he did get it. The hospitalization dates were from 17Apr2021 until 24Apr2021 was the day that he got out.
