Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy was unhappy that he didn’t receive preferential treatment at the Whittington Hospital in London, England and took to the internet to vent overnight:
“A very special NO THANKS to the staff at the Whittington Hospital for NOT seeing me regardless of telling them that there is an audience waiting for our show to begin…I finally left withOUT seeing a doctor in order to make tonight’s show…I have no idea how the hell I’m going to make it through this show…I can’t even stand up or lift my arms… : (“
Expectedly, the reaction and subsequent backlash from fans via his Facebook has been entertaining to say the least.
