What I received was rude and discourteous service, and a long wait. My body was under severe distress. I was on the verge of violence. During the phase of distress, certain psychological changes begin to take place. The heart beats faster from increased adrenaline production.
Adrenaline is one of two arousal hormones secreted by the adrenal glands.
These who hormones act to prepare your body to meet an emergency by increasing your blood pressure and heart rate, speeding up your breathing, widening the pupils in your eyes, and increasing perspiration. During the phase of distress, more blood flows into the larger muscles. The functions of the immune and digestive systems are inhibited. In many instances, this can be related to frustration the inability to change an aggravating situation. An example of this is the VA s Pharmacy s practices, or the inappropriate billing of service-connected veterans being treated for their service connected injury.
