16 oct, Fri

had this interesting hunt for my doctor. (in denmark, we have an assigned GP, cos consultation fees is covered by the govt). i couldnt understand her voicemail in danish. had to call the kommune/municipality for help. called up her colleague for an appointment cos she was on holiday. was labelled as an acute case so that i could meet the other doctor despite having all her slots taken up that day. and i had to be there before 12pm, when they close. cos she was going on holiday too… haha doctors are so shiok here.

i complained about my sore throat. “temperature?” hmm i was like i dont know my temperature, didnt take. “oh you mean you can’t take my temperature here?” doc: “no, we dont. you have to take it yourself at home before you come”. i was like okay hmm…

and they did a test for bacteria infection in my throat. the result was negative. nurse: “the result is negative. so it is a viral infection. you have to get some lozenges from the pharmacy” ha, this is damn interesting. have to gao dim your own sore throats. the pharmacy was easily 200m away from the clinic. quite sad. had to walk with a gg knee. in the rain. getting frozen by the cold air.

lugging groceries home was sad too. oh well, but i stocked up enough to eat for the week. all the goodness of plain vegetables. carrots, broccoli and potatoes. up for a good detox, nutritious week.
