vindictive viral infection

The story goes like this..

camp
One fine night, po wore his favourite teletubbies costume, lied on his bed and watched Fast n Furious 1 on his itouch. 30mins into the video, he felt something weird going on with his body so he decided to pause the video and sleep early. However, the sick feeling didn't go away. It was until when everyone had slept then he couldn't tolerate the nausea anymore. He rushed to the toilet and unleashed a stream of "dinner".

In short, 2 vomits and 1 diarrhea. Thinking it was food poisoning and that food poisoning could some times be deadly, po was worried. He grabbed his 11b, camp pass, toilet roll and rode his scooter to the medical center. "Sorry ah, the driver says he wants to finish his comedy, 5mins k?" said the medic. 5mins took 15mins.

Thereafter, medical center -> tengah airbase medical center, which was where po endured a night that lasted like an eternity. Po was also poked 7 times on his arms by inexperienced medics, and each time felt so painful. He had to battle against the super cold sickbay [they blast the aircon in the sickbay for what, seriously? let those who have fever die?], the constant urge to vomit, the odd stomach pain, headache, slight fever and dizziness. There was a sachet of sth that he had to drink, but after drinking that, he vomited everything out. For fear of breaking the needle for the IV drip, he lied on the bed and tried his very best to keep his right arm still. This made his back ache. Every hour, he would wake up, struggle, and sleep again, until dawn. Thanks to the inexperienced medics, the IV drip was set too slow, it's like po's blood hasn't got any IV inside.

NUH
So, the medical officer declared that po's condition has not improved after 1 night, and that he had to be sent to NUH A&E. The aircon there was also blasting as though electricity is free in hospitals. Diagnosis showed that it was viral infection, not food poisoning, thank goodness. Poked 2 more times, struggled against the aircon again, waited for DAMN DAMN LONG, then get discharged. But that was not the end. Po was still unwell. Even when po went home to rest, he felt extremely sick. It was 10x worse than flu and fever.

Nothing to do? Sleep. Po slept for 2 full days and ate food that would normally only last him a few hours. It was not until a third excretion from the ass did the condition improve. On thurs morning, Po was able to play scooter again.

Thanks to LTA jiahao for taking care of me during the NUH visit, my mother for cooking delicious fish vermicelli but I couldn't eat much, brothers who offered help in any way they could, friends who happen to know my unpleasant predicament and showed their priceless concern, medics for their apathetic attitude which resulted in my delay of treatment.

That was one hell of an ordeal that I had been through. It was horrible, yet it was only a viral infection. Thankfully it was over.
