I very much agree with Todd's comments, especially about the disgraceful level of care you got at the hospital. I kept thinking that if these people stalled for any more time, and you had truly suffered permanent damage or died as a result, they would have been liable for neglect and/or malpractice.

It sounds like you learned the obvious lesson from this experience.We know that you shouldn't have taken the ephedra, but the delay and nonsense at the hospital definitley sounds like negligence to me.

As for brain or circulatory system damage, the only way you can get definitive answers to these questions, is to undergo tests from specialists in these fields (neurologist, etc.) Since big money would be involved you would probably have to give up on this idea, if you don't have insurance. I can't say anymore since I'm totally divorced from the U.S. medical care system (whatever "care" exists in it), but I think you should check out whatever options you might have to get these tests done, if it would set your mind at ease.
