I was in a state of shock yesterday late afternoon when my doc called me. He told me my platelets count drop beyond the normal levels. And confirmed that i'm having viral fever. He had to refer me to the hospital for another blood test. If the platelets level dropped again, i will have to be admitted. Cos seriously low platelets count can lead to internal bleeding. He personally delivered the referral letter to my mailbox... awe..
Aiyoh.. only fever mah how come like that.. so in the evening i had to dragged myself to the A&E. The man was with me.... while we were queuing up for registration, i was telling the man that i'm very sure i'll be going in to that big white tent. He is like ... no lah... i know ppl wif fever will have to be isolated from the rest... the big white tent just outside the A&E is meant for that cause. Lolz.. True enough... the nurse told me to proceed there...
Went to Triage first then wait for doc to assess... i dun like the doc... so yaya... especially the way he tok... i cant stand it! He took a sample of my blood and left the.. i dunno wat u call this..
on my arm. He says just in case if i were to be admitted or i faint, they can put the medication immediately... blah... eh i'm not suppose to bend my arm until they took this off... anyway.. the doc suspected i had mild dengue fever... i wanted to argue back... (eh i had no other symptoms other than head pain, fever and low platelet count.) End up i kept my mouth shut... they know better than me lor... neverless... i sit outside while waiting for my report, i was cracking jokes with the man... i cant play my psp... i cant bend my arm... go toilet also difficult... haiz... was there for abt 4 hrs.
Finally report came back... good news is that the platelet count went back normal... (sweat) I dun have to be admitted. But they are not taking any chances.. i had to be referred back to CDC (Communcable Disease Centre) for follow up and taking blood test again on fri... I hate needles and i dun like CDC (who likes it anyway)!!!
