DIAGNOSIS: MURDER |
| right, so i have EXTREME TONSILITIS. that is actually what dr.dymant said in addition to "oh god. this is
bad...what a mess..what a mess...this is a real mess
daniel."
this upsets me for a number of reasons.
but mainly...arent you not supposed to alarm
your patients with shock diagnoses? after he said
that i got all choked up with self pity and despair.
ugh, i had such good plans for this weekend
and we have so much excellent food in my house
at the moment that i cant even eat. all i've eaten
in the past 48 hours is apple sauce, nann
(i have no idea how to spell this but im referring to
that really soft bread that you eat with indian food),
and a whole bunch of pills.
also, when dr.d was writing out my prescription
half way through he changed his mind and said
"no, i'll give you something stronger." im pleased
that im getting some serious medication, afterall if im
going to be on medication i want something
intense with a whole bunch of side effects.
but why didnt he just give me the strong stuff
to begin with? this leads me to beleive that there
is indeed a stronger alternative to any medication
i've ever been given and that the various ailments
i've suffered and endured could have been cut short
with "something stronger" were it not for the with-holding
tendencies of health care professionals.
either way,
let the treatment begin. |
