Sleep to Oblivion
My team lead insisted that I be accompanied to the hospital it was the nurse’s suggestion to me in the first place seeing that I was dehydrated. I said no all I wanna do it curl up in bed and sleep to oblivion, but as my team lead requested for her to accompany me thats when off we went to the ER. Now I was stuck in a cab with two people (the nurse and her colleague of some sort) whisking us away to the hospital, tears of pity fell down my face, I hate hospitals all the more I hate the fact the people accompanying me doesnt know me at all nor do they care. They were there not because they want to but because they have to, it was part of their job. That came second … second ill-feeling experience I’ve had … second to seeing mom die. While we were in the ER waiting for the doctor, the wait was exhausting if only they let me go home I would have been asleep by then.
I was bombarded with a series of questions and as has been the case with these check-ups am in for a battery of lab tests. I asked the doctor if I can possibly just go home and have all the tests done tomorrow. She said its okay for me to stay and sleep there while waiting for the results. Like duh!!! How can someone ever sleep amongst faceless crowd? I persisted and said I wanna go home. And so since persistence is the key they asked me to sign a waiver … washing their hands clean like Pontius Pilate … but am not dying yet, so I signed the waiver but the doctor said to have at least have a blood sample taken. Alright.
As have been the case with my blood taken it’d take 2 to 3 times of trial and error before they can get sufficient amount for testing. Something wrong with my veins, this time what the nurse or whatever said that my veins collapsed so we have to redo it. Right … so from left to right then back to the left … sigh.
When that was done I finally went home. Its morning now and am s’pose to go back there to finish off the lab test but truth be told all I wanna do right now is just go back to sleep … sleep … sleep and never wake up.
