Hospital Visit
Back in 2004, whilst thinking of how to word this entry, I get the notion that if I lived in China full-time my blog would be so much more interesting. Hong Kong on the otherhand is very Westernised and there isn’t too much to write about except for the odd Comedy Shop Sign (i.e. Dick Hairdresser’s) and Annual Festivities. Anyway on with the entry…
I’m still in Guanghi having celebrated the CNY but having overeaten and perhaps having ate the wrong food - I ended up with food poisoning over a two day period and it was getting worse. A rickty ambulance with sirens blaring was called and I stumbled into the back - noticing that I drew a pretty big crowd on my exit!
I won’t bore you with the details but ended up with a shot in my ass, blood sample taken along with a poo stool. I was given this 4cm x 4cm plastic cup in which to make my “deposit” which I found pretty difficult to do, especially since I had to use a Chinese Toilet (I’ll write about my hatred for Chinese toilet’s another time, although in the mean time I’d like to question how old/disabled/pregnant women can use it…).
My white blood cell count were double the size of my red blood cells, so I got hooked up with a drip containing two bottles of saline solution and one bottle of glucose.
The hospital was clean, staff friendly and generally it was a pleasant experience in contrast to the situation I was in. I’m pretty much recovered now, ready for my trip back to HK.
