friday night, i was craving for korean food (again.. i know), and went to seoul house at russell street. the one reason that i like korean food is the side dish! they keep refilling everytime we finish it! of course, it's upon request.

saturday morning 4am, stomach very painful. sharp pain! it was my first time feeling that way. no way it's stomach cramp, cause it feels very different from the normal stomach cramp.. so i thought i'll be fine by the time i wake up..

but nooo.. i woke up around 7 in the morning, cause of the pain! i forced myself to get outta the house to go to the clinic at QV, around 9 in the morning. the "journey" to the clinic is an unforgettable one -.-".. i kept stopping, every few steps.. sigh whatever.

the doctor said my urine test is "clear", which i assume i don't have any problem? and he prescribed buscopan or panadeine. either or. i picked buscopan. the consultation fee is friggin 60+ aud! that's because i forgot my medibank card -.-" so i had to fork out the money.. but i was told that i can get 50% refund if i come back with the receipt and the card.

and so, i bought buscopan, ate it, went back to sleep again.. but the pain did not go away, and the doctor at medicare said i should go to the hospital if the medicine didn't help.

at 7.10pm, i took a cab to the royal women's hospital. and guess what? the bloody taxi driver used the longer route to reach the destination! AND HE THINKS I AM STUPID! he PASSED BY the hospital at fitzroy, and i could have gotten off and go to that one instead of the royal melbourne hospital. he could have just used elizabeth street in the first place...! he passed by city bath and went BACK to elizabeth street. and passed victoria market!!!!!!!!!!! !@#!#$!@$!!! anyhow i think he has some problems. first he turned on some allah song, and when he got bored of it, he changed to hallelujah. wtf?? i was not in a condition to scold that idiot, so i let it be, paid and left the taxi. ~:|

so, i went to the reception and they "pushed" me to the emergency section. and when was at the emergency section, they said i'm in the wrong emergency section, told me to go to the one at royal melbourne hospital. what the hell, i can barely walk and the stupid receptionist could have guided me. no wonder jerine said australia's system suck!

so at 8pm, i finally got myself registered, first urine test, and that's when the wait begins...

at 11pm, the doctor finally called me! she's an intern and her name is emma. very nice lady. :) the interns really reminded me of grey's anatomy. meredith grey!

the treatment starts at 11pm, i think i wasn't the only patient that she was treating. she asked me questions, and went off again for about 10-15 minutes? she said she'll bring panadeine.

she came back, led me to the other room, and told me that she'll have to do a blood test to find out what exactly is wrong. and she went off again, for quite a long time.

and a nurse came to do the blood test for me... my first ever blood test - and it sucks -.-" painful!

and guess what?! she couldn't find the proper vein to poke?

after removing the bandage... swollen!! the needle that she used was so friggin HUGE and she just kept poking everywhere -.-"

she used the smallest needle (even though it's still huge, but it's smaller compared to the other one) and she was way more professional than the nurse..

only a small tiny hole after removing the bandage. can barely see it right?

the panadeine.
