Hospital trip

Curiosity kills.

Anyway, went to the hospital today to get my wrist checked out. An intense throbbing pain started last night down at my wrist and proceeded slowly towards my elbow, followed by my shoulder. I got kinda frustrated so I err..banged it really hard on the table couple of times? Haha pain relief to a certain extent.

Well, as usual the wait in the hospital is dreadfully long. Didn't mind though 'cause I actually have fun at hospitals. Its one of the most interesting places ever, with people from all walks of life having just about every ailment in the book. And no, I am not weird, thank you very much.

So years and years later, I actually saw the doctor. She was a bitch. Instinctively I spoke to her in English. But guess what? She went on and on in Malay, of which I had to respond to. Mental translation was again needed haha.

Had to go for a blood test to check my rheumatoid factor (antibody directed towards an organisms own tissue). That would be to see if I have arthritis. =S As of now, diagnosis is still uncertain. It could be anything basically.

The guy drawing blood was funny and polite. I was looking to see if he had found my vein and we started chatting. He also got excited that health care was my choice of career in the future. The needle prick did sting a little and it hurt way more when he probed around, under my skin, 'scavenging' for blood. It took only about 100 attempts, sticking me here and there, changing angles and depth; to finally get it out. I was watching very closely just about ready to burst out in laughter. It was very funny indeed. Again, no I am not insane.

Getting the needle out was even more hilarious. The guy had this smile and proud look on his face. Blood came oozing out after that and it felt kinda strange. Kinda bruised up now haha.

aftermath..

the wrist with many issues

I'm a sadist, no denying it.
