Infected.

It all started on Monday..my throat was sore.my head was throbbing.

Tuesday came, head was still throbbing, started coughing with phlegm...(productive cough.that is what we learn >.<) Wednesday, phlegm was GREEN..started to lose my voice..

Thursday, almost non-functional physically and emotionally..FINALLY..made a decision to see a GP.coz antibiotics was needed perhaps..Erythromycin prescribed..

Friday, showed slight improvements, though voice was still 'froggy'. At night, pus-like liquid started coming out from me eyes..making it red n sticky..how gross is that! lost one side of my hearing..how sick was i man!

Saturday, woke up at 6am..no improvement in condition..Decided to see a GP. called NHS 24. Was directed to Stobhill Hospital in Springburn, north of Glasgow *ISOLATED area with 'FRIENDLY' aka LOUSY doctors!!!!*


doc: so how can i help u today?
me: oh..ive got some redness n pus coming out from my eyes.lost one side of hearing.having a sore throat currently.
doc: icic.ok.let me check ur temperature..n throat..*checking* so, ur a student?
me: yes
doc: where are u from?
me: Malaysia.
doc: ooo..Malaysia..Ive been there before..like 20 yrs ago..whats that place called? Johor Bahru isit? and..erm Butterworth?
me: erm, yea.
doc: oh..n Penang isit? I remember there was only one skyscraper at that time..n blablabla..(about 5-10 mins chitchating about malaysia)
*doc's hp rings..when theres a sign saying 'ALL MOBILES PHONES TO BE SWTICHED OFF AT ALL TIMES IN THE HOSPITAL PREMISES'

doc:Hello
docs wife (named Lisa): Hie darling..what u wana have for dinner tonite? steak? beef?
doc: anything dear
Lisa: come on..quickly tell me..
doc: I've got a patient with me right now.Oh well, beef would be perfect.
Lisa: bye dear..

doc: so where were we? oh..i remembered this place called Malacca as well? That place is really nice..lots of colonial buildings n blablablabla
me: *looking bored n annoyed* *keeping a minimum conversation*.YES.
doc: *realises he was distracted n out of topic*..*back to position*...so...u say ur eyes are sticky? well.let me check them again..and ur throat again..Ill just prescribed u some antibiotics for it.
me: ok.thx. bye. *blood boiling*

conclusion, GP dint helped much..pharmacist is as good as a GP..The only thing we lack in is the power to write prescriptions..Condition still the same..

Current condition:
throat-badly infected by some bacteria..
eye-bacterial conjunctivitis
ear-otitis media

lets hope things will get better tomorrow.
