The First & The Last

I was down with food poisoning last Sunday. The diarrhea got serious towards the night. This was a little different from normal diahroea as there was no pain at all. One moment you have that feeling of letting off a fart but then realise that both came together, wind and poo. So everytime i feel like farting....i know it's coming. My tummy got so bloated with wind it kept me from having a good sleep.

Woke up like almost 6 times during the night just to let go. Till it was around 6am when my mom woke up and told me. 'I think you better go see a doctor.' That phrase is not a norm to hear from my mom, who will force us to go to school even when we are having fever.

I got so dehidrated the next morning it feels like another hang over from a happening party the night before. Called the office to inform that i was on MC then went to the clinic. This time i choose to go to this clinic at Prima Tanjung instead of the Policlinic Yik where i use to visit. Dr. Yik is a little expensive and should i say...good for those who wants MC.

As usual i went to the Registration Counter and get myself registered as a patient. The lady then asked whether am i alergic to any medicine. I showed her my slip from GH where another unfortunate event happened which showed the name of the medicine i'm alergic to. It is always best to show them when we can't read the doctors writing or not even sure of how to pronounce the name of that particular medicine.

While sitting there waiting for my turn, i almost doze off. You could just imagine how tired i was going through all that squatting in the toilet. Finally it was my turn, the doc greated me with this funny voice he was having. Somehow the doc have this high pitch yet husky voice which was quite hilarious. He did what he was supposed to do and then i was out sitting again waiting for my medicine.

The price was reasonable for the amount of medication i was given. I went home with a packet of porridge and was about to take my med. That was then i receive a call from the weird voiced doc.

Doc : Is this Teoh Mei Fang?

Me : Yes....

Doc : I see here it's stated that you are alergic to Buscopen.

Me : Er....Yes....(not sure if that was the correct pronunciation)

Doc : Ohh....the small white colour tablet.....don't take....that one is Buscopen.

Me : Er....ok (stunned)

I was lucky the call came a little early, else i will have to be send to the hospital for a shot. I swore to myself...that will be the first and the last visit to that unprofessional doc.
