To think my friend lied about hospital appointment?

[MadisonMont]

My friend tells quite a few lies, but they are generally very small and I'm unsure why she does it. I work with her as well.

She had the day off work because she found a lump and went for tests.

A week later she said she got a text saying her results were in and that she needed to come back into hospital urgently. So another day off work.

I went to her house to see afterwards and she said that they said they were just worried because her blood pressure was high

I hate doubting her but aibu to think she might have been lying?

Why are you stalking her

Stalking? What are you going on about dear. I never once asked her to tell me any of this. Of course I was going to ask her how she got on.

Unsure why I'm getting ripped apart from posting on this forum. Many people post about people in their lives and don't have those comments said to them.

I've been here long enough to know at this point and the direction this has taken then there's nothing more I can add because whatever I say it will be wrong.

A relative was texted by the hospital (who were treating an infection) and asked to contact them urgently. It turned out a blood test showed one of his levels (potassium?)was dangerously high- they worried he might have a heart attack if it got any higher. He was admitted and put on a drip to get the level down. So it might have been something like that- I mean where a test for something else picked up a different problem, that needed further checks. But I agree its best not to assume your friend is lying - omitting or changing some details she doesn't want to talk/think about perhaps, or even misunderstood herself what misunderstood. Its hard to think straight whilst in the awful limbo of awaiting results too.

Yes it could be true. This happened to me. I found a lump, went to the GP who then requested all the usual tests in addition a breast scan, then got called in a week after the scan for a chat about my low iron & low thyroid.

You should give her the benefit of the doubt here until you have more undeniable evidence.

She had a day off work for hospital tests and you called round after work to pester her?
I went to her house to see afterwards and she said that they said they were just worried because her blood pressure was high confused

Maybe she's wanting to draw some boundaries and doesn't want to tell you anything?
You work together and then you turn up at her house when she's off sick? =Stalking

Why don't you cool the jets and let her tell you what she wants you to know rather than turning up at her home unannounced, when she's off sick......

It's none of your business after all.

Op I think people are just looking to wind you up. I think you checking she is ok was a kind thing to do and it's more than likely she just didn't want to discuss it. Let her alone for a bit but be supportive and she might open up to you. Does she have a partner or live with someone else.
If it's bad news she doesn't want to discuss with work people (and why would you so soon?!) she might need someone to talk to. Don't worry OP I know you meant well and were just asking a question.
