3 weeks ago I went to doctor with reflux problem and was given Parriet tablets to take , it worked and I was ok in 3 days so I stopped taking the tablets , on the 4th day I developed diarrhoea. Being a Sunday and surgery shut I went to chemist who gave me a drug called Gastro Stop,directions stated take2 tablets and one after each motion and do not take longer than 48 hours if no improvement see your doctor.
There was no improvement on Tuesday so saw doctor next day and explained about the Gastro stop and was told to take them again which I did Thursday and Friday still no improvement .Saturday morning the diarrhoea and the stomach pain started , so I took a pain killer tablet , by 7 pm I was in dire straights and Cath called a locum, when he arrived said it needed hospital treatment so then called ambulance, thank goodness these days ambose give treatment when they check you over, they gave me a tube filled with pain killer which you inhale from which gave me immediate relief.
At the hospital emergency after blood tests and xrays and more pain killers I was admitted, since then have had more xrays and a scan, been fed 3 different diets numerous tablets, had a motion yesterday, and discharged this morning Thursday.
Will give my doctor a few words tomorrow, any how with a bit of humour enjoy the funny
Time To Take The Temperature
A big-shot businessman with an extremely high opinion of himself had to spend a few days in the hospital. The nurses despised him because he bossed them as if they were one of his employees. He complained constantly and threatened to have all the staff fired if they didn't attend to his every whim.
When he was denied anything for medical reasons, he'd let loose with a torrent of abuse. The staff was really fed up of having to care for him.
Finally the head nurse came into his room and announced, “Time for your temperature. Roll over!"
“What? No way!" said the man.
“I’m sorry, sir," she said, “but this time, we can’t use an oral thermometer."
This started another round of complaints as he rolled over and bared his butt.
After inserting the thermometer, she announced, “I have to go get something. Just stay like that until I return," and she left his room, leaving his door wide open.
Time passed. He cursed every time he heard people laughing outside his door. After nearly an hour, he couldn't take it anymore and started yelling for a senior doctor. The doctor finally showed up.
“What do you want?" asked the doctor rudely.
Angrily, the businessman answered, “What do you mean, ‘What do I want?’ You’re the doctor. Haven’t you ever seen someone having their temperature taken? Now get on with it!"
The doctor chuckled, “Temperature? All I see is a sign up your butt saying 'The real asshole is at the other end!'"
