OMG I can't believe how bull-headed my husband can be!

Anyway, stubbornness really does know no gender.

That's true, but I still think it is more common in men!

That's just 'cause you haven't met the women of my family. Me included. If Paul sees this thread, he might tell it, so I'll just admit to it.

I'm asthmatic.

P - "You're not breathing well."

K - "I'm fine."

P - "You're really not breathing well, why don't you go to the doctor."

K - "I'm fine, just a little wheezy."

(Repeat this scene several times.)

I finally relent, let him take me to the hospital, and they look at my oxygen sats and incarcerate me for days, after I spend time in the Emergency Department arguing with the medical professionals that I should go home, I'm just a little wheezy.

Karen, that sounds like my mom when she has a really bad asthma attack. Dad practically has to drag her to the hospital.

And she cut her finger really bad a bit ago while making a salad. She didn't want to go to the hospital and dad made her.

Oiy.

I'd like to nominate my mother for the stubborn award. A few years back, when at my brother's house, she tripped coming out of the door. So she just sat there saying she was fine - don't worry about her. They kept asking if she was ok and she said she was. Finally she needed to use the bathroom but was unable to stand - so she was willing to crawl to the bathroom. That's when they called an ambulance (while she protested).

She had broken her hip and required hip replacement surgery.
