whatever happened in A & E yesterday
i do NOT wish to face it anymore
well, not till it's time for me to give birth dat is
heh
was on my way to work yesterday
on pm shift
was a bit giddy & high while walking to work
had to be strong
but when they're having roll call
the tutorial room spins
still holding back my strength
i took report
sister V was there when she suddenly told me to go A & E
i said its ok
she then forced me to sister's office
and sister K searched high & low for a neuro dr to examine me
but couldn't find any slots
then the decision is final
she told PCA Leela to wheel me to A & E
and told me to get admitted (which i don't want to)
being a Monday afternoon
e huge human traffic was overwhelming
all the more my vertigo added on
then the migrane started
i couldn't explain e pain
while at the Triage
my parameters were taken
was suprised dat my BP was only 85/67 mmHg!
then the nurse said dat i could collapse anytime
hahaha
then she transferred me to trolley
my vertigo got worse
my phone kept on vibrating
with calls & smses from mama, ayah, abee, bibik, juli
i was brought to Critical Care
waited & waited & waited

in Critical Care... Waiting...
the MO came and examine me
waited & waited & waited

me on trolley... waiting...
then only the SN jabbed me with Voltaren & Stemetil
waited & waited & waited
then only the SN brought me to toilet to collect my urine sample
waited & waited & waited
then only a PCA came and did ECG and hypocount on me
waited & waited & waited


my ECG & pricked finger...
the MO came and asked me if i wanna be admitted
OF COURSE i said hell NO!
what, then let me wait & wait & wait till next morn?!
with A & E like a MADHOUSE?!
pls lah...
by the time
mama ayah bibik & cik amat
was already waiting anxiously for me outside
abee was constantly msging me
he's at work & he felt bad cos he's not there for me
sweet huh..
i got 'discharged' from dat hellish place
at exactly 2155hrs!
and while leaving the place
a SN shouted from resus room
"can a doctor pls help? i have 3 new resus cases!!!"
i was REALLY GLAD to be out from there..
now, i'm nursing my head
my vertigo came on & off
hopefully sister K got dat appointment with Dr Alvin from neuro
all the sisters had done a lot for me
thx for all the 'get well soon' msgs
from my colleagues
and abee... u i love!
