Sick of it

[thessalian]

Hate doctors. Hate hospitals. Miserable fuckers.

Okay, so I went off to Barnet Hospital and got there early, as I tend to do. So I tracked down the Diagnostic Imaging department to see if I could get my appointment made in person. But when I got to reception, I got "We don't do that; you have to call in". Okaaaaaaay ... that makes no sense but what the hell. Anyway, by that point it's almost time for me to go and get my blood tests, so off I go.

I had a nice doctor doing the tests. I was a little nervous, mainly when I saw that he had to fill four damn vials with my blood (whee), but he said I was a good patient and he was very good with the needle. It barely hurt and he didn't leave much of a bruise, despite the fact that doctors usually have problems finding a vein when they do this shit to me. Anyway, I deal well with that sort of crap so we got it over with fairly quickly. Then I had to sit on a bus full of rough-housing school kids pottering off for their lunch break - since when the fuck did buses become playgrounds? I swear, they behaved like animals!

Once home, I did some tidying (I must be sick), stuck on some laundry and then called Barnet Hospital. Apparently, 'urgent' means 'in under two weeks'. Blood test results will be back long before then, but not before my sick leave certificate runs out (5 days). And I still don't feel better. I'm going to have to go back to see Dr Bez at the end of the week, aren't I? I don't want to go back to the doctor. It means there are going to be issues. I don't want to go to specialists, or the hospital. I just want to be healthy again. I want to be able to eat without feeling like I'm going to vomit or like my stomach's going to implode. I want to be able to move around without moderate to severe pain. I want to be able to sleep at night. Is that so much to ask?

"Here's your fucking monkey. He likes Pumpernickel. I'm gonna go get a latte."

Sorry. Had to say it.

Thank you. Really. I needed that.

Oh hun. Want me to start beating heads together? Not that it'll really do a whole lot of good, there being this huge wet thing between us. I hope they figure this shit out soon, both for the fact that you need to get better... and because it really curtails any ability we have to raise hell if you're too miserable to move when you make it over here.

*hugs* hope this shit gets ironed out.
