God damn it.

So having managed to knock the sore throat on the head, I still have stomach cramps and so go to the doctor...... three and a half weeks after having food poisoning and not having been given anything to cure my ailment.... So this time not only does he scare the holy crap out of me by beginning his diagnosis with "I've done quite a few Apendectomies...." Not going to be a good start.

Anyways I don't think I have appendicitis, he has given me two concurrent courses of antibiotics to last a whole week (So much for not prescribing them regularly), I have a week long course of each. One sort I have to eat with meals otherwise I will be ill and the other I am not allowed even a teaspoon of alcohol otherise I will be very sick. Anyways I have to go back on Monday (which clearly means that I will not have finished my antibiotics). I wonder why that is. Surely wait until the course of antiboiotics is over and done with. If I get really ill on the antibiotics I have to go back to the doctor earlier..... hmm he sounds confident.

Also offered me another couple of days off work. But having been back for a week and a half, thought it would be a bit rude to accept...stupid girl.

So I shall take the god awful tablets and tolerate my alcohol free week, and hopefully I will be better soon.

What would have been the issue with giving me one course of antibiotics 3 weeks ago when I needed them?! Oh well, in good English spirit I will be glad that I have them now.

  • Doctors are arses. Most of what they do seems to be a bit like when I'm trying to fix a computer: wait a bit to see if the problem goes away, then try switching it off and on again (they're not allowed to do this to people, so they give antibiotics instead). This fixes 95% of problems.

    If you want some good news, I think you have lost weight. :)

  • We could still do the paper hat thing next time you're over; if Andrew brings the photo of last time.
