fainting spell
once again. i fainted. this time twice. once in the train, once in the rest area for SMRT staff.
was admitted to XXX hospital (i am not naming the hospital to protect myself, see below) after the 2nd time i fainted. they actually called the ambulance, i must say the SMRT staff are really drama-mama.
according to darl ( i cannot remember anything that happened except times when i
really woke up), during the 2nd time, i had difficulty breathing and my eyeballs actually rolled back. how scary is that.
but all's fine now.
going to buy a 'thank you' card and some gifts for all the SMRT Dhoby Ghaut personnel who helped me yesterday.
and thanks to those commuters in the train at that time. according to darl, one indian lady who offered me some medicated oil. one chinese lady who stayed with us until i was wheeled to the staffroom. and one man who ran to inform the station control staff.
and thanks to my self-proclaimed 'family doctor' and his nurse who came down to XXX hospital to see how i was feeling and bought me a little plush toy with lotsa chocolates from The Chocolate Gallery and a "get well soon" card.
and thanks to darl, if not for you, i dont even know what's gonna happen to me.
thanks to myself for insisting that i go home and not stay in the hospital for further examination cuz i know i am perfectly fine and since all the tests results are fine, with full blood count and all. like hello, you dont earn money like that.
and 'thanks' to the doc at XXX who poke the needle unsuccessfully, twice into my vein, and actually pulled the needle in and out several times and got me crying like mad, cuz in the first place, i am afraid of needles.
and 'thanks' to those unfriendly nurses who gave darl an attitude when he was trying to help me pass message to them, like i needa go toilet; like the glucose water finished; like i wanna go home etc.
