Sorry, I disagree based on personal experience.

Has anyone besides me had the experience of riding their
bike home from work with acute appendicitis?

It didn't happen because of a lack of medical attention. I
felt fine in the morning, and not very bad in the afternoon.
I had a belly ache on the way home, but by about 7 PM I was
feverish and shaking. My doctor came into the office to
examine me, and by about 9 PM I was at the ER, based on his
evaluation.


Notoriously difficult to diagnose and the stakes are too
high to guess. My brother the Doc says he would demur and
defer to a specialist.
