My friend has pneumo!
I always thought nemo would be this huge sickness that wrecks people's health and completely stops you from functioning.
Except, on Mike, it's like a cold. Sure, he's all pale and has no energy and coughs so hard he can't talk. But he should be fine in a few days.
Today was his second trip to the ER. It was an adventure. The kid picks a Sunday to go in, and there's only one place open at 5pm. So we grab a cab to the After-hours walk-in clinic to find that's it's moves to a new location. We manage to catch the cab before it left, and we find that the place isn't accepting new patients because there's a 3-and-a-half hour wait. So we decide to go back to the main hospital, where he'd been before a few days ago. They let him go last time saying he was fine. This time he left with a doctor's note and a face mask. I'm glad they figured it out.
We left the house at almost 5pm and I'm back at 10.30pm. I see why people hate hospitals now... |
