So get this… the fish bone lives on…
I went to the hospital emergency area this morning at 10.30am, and I waited like four hours to see a doctor. Then I see the doctor and it’s actually the nurse that has a clue and says that I need an x-ray. I wait another two hours and there’s no damn X-ray so I’m like "WTF DUDE?" and another nurse (or maybe a scrub) says:
Sorry but we screwed up*, I just ordered an X-ray for you again. Hopefully it’ll be 30 mins like that other guy.
*Note: words may have been altered for dramatic effect
He was referring to some elderly bloke that walked in earlier and had his X-ray done within 30 mins!
So I’m like "alright, no probs" and return to my seat in the waiting room. I waited another HOUR and it was still a no go. By this time I was starving (I only had one banana this morning, and a can of tuna with crackers from the waiting room vending machine around lunch time) and I needed to get home in time to grab a bite to eat and prepare for my salsa class. So I bail.
My throat still has a stabbing pain when I swallow, though it’s not as bad now so I don’t know what the heck is going on. Tomorrow I’ve got an appointment with the dentist so I might go see the GP afterwards to sort this out!
