I was in hospital for the past 2 days...its the third time this year...gosh.. i really have a very weak stomach.. always give me problems.. this time is the worst of all.
Food poisoning, diarrhoea, dehydration, high fever, fainted.
Things really didnt go well for me..

Firstly a stupid doctor inserted the intravenous drip needle into my left hand vein in such an unprofessional way that the needle went out of place and cut through my vein.. one thing of cos is it hurt like hell and now leave one big bruise which will take forever to heal.. and another thing is my drip has to be put on my right hand which greatly impedes my writing and doing of a lot of other things.. cos my left hand is quite retarded.

Secondly, my temperature shot up like crazy on my first day.. the highest record was 39.7, nearly hit 40 loh.. The nurse said i'll become stupid.. so i told her i got exams starting in one day's time.. Then she so frantically got lotsa ice and rub them on me.. I've never seen ice melt so fast man.

Thirdly, the ward i was in got many old people.. and they whole night dun seem to sleep de leh.. keep calling nurses to bring food la bring water la..blah blah... pple walk in walk out, lights on and off and on and off.... really can die.. i almost didnt sleep at all.

Forthly, on my second day i was already feeling much better (thats yesterday) but the doctor refuse to let me discharge cos my conditions not very stable.. but i got exams today mah.. so i had to argue with the doctor.. he say will consider and see me in a few more hours. So i drank a lot of water such that my temperature dropped to 37 (phew!)... and i was diligently studying.. with my notes and books strewn all over my bed.. Well, i guess the doctor was touched my my determination to take the exam so he let me go!! woohoo!! .. hehee

Hmm... so far i only talk abt the bad parts of my hospital stay.. Now let me talk abt some things nice.. (Hospital stay got nice things meh??) .. yea of cos got la
Nurses are such wonderfully nice pple. (especially those who are young, those old old de jiu not sure la =P) When u are sick and useless, they are your ANGELS. I was blessed with really nice nurses.. they are all around my age.. real caring, cheerful and always smiles... And somemore they are quite pretty leh... Thats good cos my bf was willing to stay with me for the whole day cos he got pretty girls to see.. haha.. One of them even praised my bf for being so sweet.. then he almost couldnt stop beaming at me. (cant stand..) I think nurses really have a touch job and they are sooooo li hai.. can handle all sorts of problematic patients (im not one of them) and can speak all sorts of languages... there's one nurse in my ward who can speak 5 languages: english, chinese, hokkien, cantonese, malay. li hai bah!

This is a conversation between me and a nurse..... (it was in chinese)
Nurse: hello!! im gonna give you an injection... but im very skilful de la.. will make sure it'll not be painful.. so u dun be scared k?
Me: orhh.. its okie la..
Nurse attempts to distract me by asking me wad school i from and wad i study..
Nurse: injection done lo! pain anot? huh? i skilful right?
Me: ermm.. ya.. not painful
Nurse: haha.. told you liao loh!
Nurse smiles brilliantly to herself....
Me: well.. actually i already had 2 injections yesterday.. this is nothing la.
Nurse:.....

Haha.. this is not to mock nurses k.. in fact im trying to show that nurses really go all out to try and relieve our pain.. so NURSES I SALUTE YOU!
