Stomach Bug and all these things. Month 2. Week 10

So it has been a while since i blogged and this is due to one reason only. I was sick for 2 weeks with some sort of viral infection/stomach bug as they call it over here.

Now for some time. Maybe from November 3 i have been having some bad cramps at nights, when i eat or drink. Around the 4th i decided to visit the health centre as it was becoming unbareable, this then set about a chain of events that changed my life for the next 2 weeks.

Day one
1. Went to health centre. First saw a nurse, she asked me a bunch of questions and was typing on her PC. She then gave her opinion of what i had based on questions asked and answered. She then refered me to doctor

2. Saw Doctor. Doctor did same thing only then she feel up mi belly. Then said i had acid reflux and gave me some tablets for it

Day two:
1. In my room trying to work, a piece a pain lick me. Then i felt vomitish. THe pain was persistent and the nausea was getting bad. I was alone in my dorm. All the girls went to class. I had no class it was to be movie day. When i realised i couldnt manage i called keisha, who called her friend to come and see if i was ok. He then inturn called security who called me. This was the convo

"Hey mam this is security are you ok?
"No i am not ok, i am in pain and i cannot manage

Did you go to the health centre?
Yes i did

Did they give u tablets
Yes they did

Then you will be fine Mam, keep warm take care.

Now i was pissed. they didnt help me. I am in pain and you tell me to keep warm. Anyway Keisha's friend came and he was there with me praying with me until keisha came and then she said no you need to go back to health centre. So we went back.

I saw the same nurse who did the same thing and i told her i want to see another doctor. She refused and said what about continuity. I was this short from telling her where to shove her continuity. Anyway i saw another doctor who told me is not acid reflux but a virus from something i ate or drank. But like first doctor he only touch up mi belly.

From these two experiences my view is that would never happen in JA. Even if you tell doctor you head or hand hurt they taking pressure and everything.

Anyway day 3.

Now i start throwing up again and having fever and shakes and bad pain. My flat mate is worried and calls security again. A man comes sees my condition and then decides to call the ambulance. My friend is happy as she says finally the hospital will make a difference. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmm

Well ambulance comes. Parameds come and take me and take my pressure and everything. So far i feel confident about this. Went to hospital and i saw three different nurses who asked me the same question. One of them pissed me off when she asked me if i took any medication for the pain and i told her i dont like taking medication and then she said.............OH but you come to a hospital?

I was this close to telling her about some cloths at Pablo's. She got off the hook only because they took test, urine and blood. Anyway then i saw doctor Guyanese descent and yes he asked me the same question like the 3 nurses.

After 3 hours there, and several million questions later they gave me another set of medication. All now mi nuh tek it not after the first experience at health centre and i was placed on a diet for 3 days. Well for the next week and half i was on this diet because whatever in my system was not going away.

Then i decided to make some contact in Ja and found a friend whose sis is a doc in UK. Good to say she took care of me and reassured me i was getting better. After 5 pounds i am now better.

But i have learnt my lesson

1. Dont dash we u 3rd world doctor
2. British food nasty and mess up my system
3. Health centre want a change and NOW>
