aaaaaaaaaarrr. damn sad. i missed my interview today, had to postpone til next week. pray pray pray that the job will still be available then!
today cabbed down to alexandra hospital coz accidentally swallowed a fish bone and it pierced the soft part of the top of my mouth (soft palate) and its been hurting for the past two days. just so lucky, about five minutes after we reached alexandra hospital, it started raining cats & dogs.
the waiting area in the emergency room is full of foreign workers lo. now i know why my parents so cynical about foreign workers getting injured coz they want to make a quick buck by getting injuries and claiming from companies their loss of income, current & future.
later saw two consultants. the first one quite efficient but in a way rude coz she's rushing to complete and it isnt very polite. the second one, pauline i think, was super friendly. she chit chat with me and my aunt (who waited for me from the start to the end -thanks ee ma!) and she was terribly gentle and concerned for me, trying to pull the fishbone whatever thingy out but failed to do so. she sprayed some numb-spray thing which tastes GROSS. had to bear with it so some ended up being swallowed while she prodded around in my mouth. hahha.
she warned me that since she cant pull it out, i'd have to have an incision made to pull it out. and that means LOADS of blood. those who are into pain, blood or vampire-like should love this job. -.-
went for lunch coz the ent clinic would only see at 2 and it was barely 12. so me & my aunt walked to ikea for lunch. then bought back my meatballs. YAY!
walked back to alexandra. apparently my aunt worked in the emergency unit years ago. heh. so she showed me a short-cut back to the emergency area. hahha. went to the ENT place.
BLOODY HELL la. the freaking pregnant woman was so doubtful about it. HELLO, YOU THINK DAMN FUN TO PRETEND ABOUT IT AND SUFFER THE PAIN OF DOCTORS ATTACKING MY MOUTH? knn.
then she shoved the bloody small-long cam thing down my nose. WTFFFF sia. damn painful. and once it reaches my throat, my gag reflex acted up. i gagged like 3 times and she didnt care until the 4th time when i actually threw up. knnccb.
lucky the male doctor came in then recommended an x-ray but he admitted that probably cant see anything on the x-ray though.
still can taste and smell the plastic-blood-metal-vomit thing. gargled out with water first then later with sprite so that there's no aftertaste.
in the end go x-ray but no difference. cant see anything in the x-ray. so went to get a prescription and she told me to come back if i get sick in the coming week -related to the piercing. right now, i have a puncture wound in my soft palate as my evidence and souvenir of the fishbone & the poking of the doctors.
ugh. quite traumatized by it. i will never ever want to go through the nose cam experience again. hell la. its disturbing beyond all means.
