Last weekend...
So last Friday I was admitted to hospital for a long and arduous 3 night stay. Only 3 nights you say? Trust me, when you are in hospital, a.day lasts approximately a week.
I was admitted with acute abdominal pain. After twice being diagnosed with appendicitis on the first day of admission (my appendix having been removed in 1995) they have now settled on it being a girl problem they are reluctant to intervene with, other than to manage the pain with painkillers.
So there comes my first irritation. Forever to be referred to as "The Night From Hell" having been told that my pain would be managed with analgesia, I was written up for paracetamol. Despite hours of sobbing, hours of being told "the doctor will see you shortly" and absolutely no sleep whatsoever, 19 HOURS LATER I was finally seen by a doctor and prescribed some proper pain relief.
Well...
Well as this is my second hospital admission in a week, and I find myself increasingly disgruntled at the most stupid, avoidable irritation, I thought I would get them all down in a blog. That way when I finally get round to writing my complaint letter I have a point of reference! I intend to use this blog to record and share all these little irritation, as well as twice daily guessing game: what is this shit you are feeding me?
