The Hospital

Jul 26, 2007 09:16

ok.. so here we go
Yesterday we spent the evening at Homerton Hospital
(i will avoid the details on i got there after being verbally abused by a gang of black teenagers and having stuff hurled at me with the classiest sentence shouted at me:"i will fuck you and will fuck your mother" to make this shorter)
We arrived at 8pm and a nurse saw richard immediately... we then had to wait for a doctor we were told it would take about 2 hours but we actually had to wait only 1 hour and 15 minutes...
so in we go in one of this terrible boots that are typical of uk ERs....
on the floor there was blood and not even fresh blood(i will try not to comment on this ....clean your hospitals you dirty people!!!!!!!!!!!)
anyway nurses were really nice and polite and told us they will take some blood for an examination...
i start to shiver as i cannot stand needles and decide not to watch... but you know me... well i had to
the nurse had this (to me) enormous metal needle nozzle that looked big enough for an elephant ... she stuck it into richard and behold no blood came out....she tried 6 different syringes but no... no blood... finally after maneuvering the needle in an out of the vein several times she got some drops out... i almost fainted... we were told Richard's blood was very thick and advised he had to drink more water ( i almost cringed but said nothing)
.....
we waited for another 30 minutes and so and then got a very nice doctor, she was very nice and conducted examinations... no real damage was revealed in Richard's brain.. however there were some problems with his sinuses and his blood pressure so we had to wait for the results of the blood tests...another 45 minutes...
the verdict in the end was infection of sinuses- high blood pressure
need to see gp in a couple of days
and to help you with the pain we give you this quite high dosage of codeine...
(why buy drugs from a dealer when you can get them free from your local ER???)
...
so it is all well what ends well
it took us millions of years to get home...
i slept 4 hours and my level of adrenaline were so high my muscles are all aching.... this morning i strapped richard to his bed as he wanted to go to work....
I could go on and make all sort of comments, but this post is already too long ....
all you guys try to have good days
all right??
(i feel a bit like Nigel Tufnell today!!!!!)

PS
THANK YOU TO ALL YOU GUYS FOR WRITING - PHONING - SENDING GOOD VIBES
I COULD NOT ANSWER AS I WAS TOO NERVOUS BUT I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATED IT
I WILL CONTACT YOU ALL DURING THE DAY
PROMISE
