yeah! Down with food poisoning today. Been pooing for 5 times in between 8.28am - 9.30am. Having cracked lips and shaky legs on the way to the hospital. Doctor says its quite serious to have poo-ed 5 times in less than an hour; and suggested that I get admitted to the hospital for some IV drops...
I REFUSED!
Now, I'm not going to stay in the hospital. It's too scary. So I told the doctor that I'll monitor myself at home first, and should the diarrhea and vomiting persists even after the medication; then I would go for the the IV drops. So doctor agress and let me home - and issued a 2 days MC.
NOW, it's past 5 hours since my first medicine. I didn't go to the toilet so often now, and I don't feel so nauseous anymore. Great smart decision that I didn't get myself admitted to the scary dark hospital ward.
I THINK the doctors here in Philippines are always over-exaggerated. Well, should I get any regular food poisoning way back @ HOME, I don't think Dr. Hu would immediately send me to the hospital without any close supervision first. Well, of course pooing 5 times in an hour sounds bad, but isn't that the case due to no medication given to me yet? Like now, after the antibiotics + stop vomiting + stop diarrhea + painkillers = less need to poo = I'm getting better. Why do I need to get IV drops when I can take fluids (& medicine) orally?
Like my previous visit for a bad sore throat & fever, they demanded I should get a <1 ml blood test for "just-in-case. Arrgggg????? Blood test for some hay fever caused by a sore throat. GREAT. and the doctor actually wrote "Viral Infection" on my report. I think any good doctors back in KL would just diagnose it as "Body Heat / Too Little Water / Too Much Partying" hahahaha....
Any diagnosis they want to make, it's good that I do feel better after medication. And 2 days MC.

Something wrong with the food that you ate? Remember not to take back the same food. Hope you are better now.
ReplyDelete2 days of MC was indeed very good. But you have to suffer the sickness to get that 2 days of rest. Ish Ish...
