AM A SUSPECT

It's to good to be true~ But believe it!! My heart almost dropped of its branches as the doctor carry out the examinations on me.

1. Take my BP.
2. Take my temperature. [look at the thermometer unsatisfied]
3. Insert the thermo again n took out. [shaking the thermo to normal, again unsatisfied]
4. AGAIN take my temperature. [shaking his head.. VERY HIGH FEVER.]
5. Asked me "How does your tummy feel?" --> Is like the WHIRLPOOL inside my tummy!!
6. 1st conclusion : You are suspected to have appendix! [my heart went "Are you serious??" still smilimg]
7. 2nd conclusion : You are also suspected to have dengue fever! ["I am so gonna kill u doc!!" again in my heart~]

From d 1st conclusion, d doc pressed my right side of d abdomen. I put my finger on my navel, then doc press left & right of my abdomen. I felt painless. So d doc decided to scrape of the 1st assumption.

From d 2nd conclusion, d doc said that if my fever was to continuously b at the same level, I might need to be admitted to hospital. D doc also asked whether my joints & muscles were aching n my answer was definitely YES!!!

So.. Shazwani had learnt her lesson today. A beautiful lesson!! :) Now only Shazwani would take the time to look into the SYMPTOMS, CAUSES & EFFECTS of the illness.
