1st Doctor trip in 4 years ;)

I've never been to the NHS for a treatment the entire 3 years I was in the UK. Water, bland food and plenty of rest was what I always took when I was sick, and Lemsip, can't forget about Lemsip. One of the most soothing solution of colds.

This morning I woke up at 6 a.m vomiting. I didn't wake up with the feeling of wanting to vomit, I just woke up and puke right away. You could say the puke woke me up.  >.<

It went for a while and when I thought it was over, I went back to sleep. At 8 a.m my usual time for waking up, I went and puke again. When that was over, I was so tired that I don't think I can go to work, so I call in sick. Weee, first MC in four years! (Trying to be excited about it, I still remember that I used to take loads in KYS an KYUEM.)

Went to the clinic at 8.15 a.m but it was still closed. Oh well, back to bed then.

Anyway eventually I woke up and went to see the doctor. She was in her early 40s I think. Anyway to cut to the chase, she asked me whats wrong, and told me briefly what could be wrong, asked me do I need a MC and said goodbye. No hassle, no bothersome checkup and no problem getting the MC. Sounds good right?

No, not really to me.

She appears to be hurrying of to somewhere else. I was given a brief description, not a detailed one, and my questions were cut off shortly before I even finish it. And about the MC, I know I needed it, but the way she was giving it to me was like she would give it to anyone whether they are really sick or pretending to be sick.

Which I am kind of disappointed with, I might be making a mountain out of a molehill here but if you do not check your patient properly and just give them the basic medicine, is that really proper? Medicine isn't really a thing to be meddle with.

='( Sorry for the rambling. On the bright side, I had no urgent outstanding matters at work and I get to rest the entire day.

=) Toodles!
