i created my own drama - II

after buying the antibiotics from the pharmacy, Sue told me she'd walk me back to Merville and boy, was i lucky there was Sue by my side. somehow, its spring today, but the weather only gets colder so for the past few days, it was really really cold. as i was walking back, i felt the - i wanna faint - feeling coming back but i told myself to stand it, Merville isnt too far away. And when we reached the road leading to Merville, we stopped. i swayed. if u asked me, i would say it was rather embarassing to be led in the middle of the road looking tired, out of place and useless. luckily, i did bathe in the morning so i dint look that bad...

as we walked further down the block, i turned to the bush. n puked. again! wat else is left in my system? nothing! oh god, why do i keep throwing out... so Sue suggested i'd just sit on one of the entrance to a house. my house 13 is just about 100 metres away, no big deal right? wrong. so i sat there, 2 secs later, and my stomach decided to throw things out again. this time, god knows wat came out - alot of liquid i would say, white, yellow (and i never had eggs for so many days). and then, my hands became numb. my legs i couldnt feel them, they're all pins n needles. n that sensation spread to all over my body... i just couldnt feel anything. i know my hands were frozen cos i couldnt move them. n before i knew it, i was already lying down on the pavement. at that point of time, only one thing struck my mind - I MUZ MOVE MY HANDS ! if blood doesnt go there, what will happen? paralysed? Nooooo... my hands are too important for me. i cant lose them. i need them. i need them for my career. i need them to look at patients. i need them if ever one day i become a cardiologist.

and somewhere faraway in my mind, i heard Sue.
"Jamie, i think u better go to the hospital. i'll call the ambulance okay?"
----
"Jamie, stay with me ok? stay with me. U muz stay with me, ok?"
----
"Sue, call Grace.. handphone.. pocket ... call Grace"
----

and everything after that was a blur to me.. Grace came. Alot of other passer-bys came. they offered their jacket to put on me. Then the ambulance came. i was brought up onto the ambulance wif a stretcher. new experience huh? Grace and Sue came along and when we reached the hospital, it was yet another long wait to be attended.



they took my blood samples, ECG, chest x-ray (new experience again - the radiology room memang damn cold wei..) and put me on 2 packs of IV fluid. like Grace said, "u dunwan drink water, they go for the painful way". as i was lying down on the bed beside Grace, i told her i hoped this whole procedure wont cost a bomb. i mean wat with ecg n xray... i'll be broke! just last Friday i heard Dr Bund telling us that its 200eur to haf an ECG at Blackrock Hospital! but as it turns out, everything was alright. i walked out SVUH without paying a single euro! how cool is that? both of us were like ... okay, lets just walk out n not say anything ... haha! n the funny part was, Grace said maybe they'll send a full invoice/bill over to my place but (=P) apparently, she accidentally gave them my wrong address..

i missed my heart dissection class today. Emily said Mikey was cool today cos he marah-ed the other noisy people from other groups when he tried to teach mine. i hope he'll be there again on this Friday when i join the other group. meanwhile, heres to me in a hope of feeling much better n kicking by Monday! *cheers*
