The Doctor

Finally, after one month of cold, and yes, my body is kinda slow when it comes to building up immunity towards cold, I have decided to go see a doctor.

So, what gives?

Well, initially I wasn't really that worried about the cold, since, like I said, my body takes forever to build up immunity towards cold, so I am used to having long term cold anyways. Besides, I know the reason for my cold, and it's not H1n1, so I wasn't that wary. Besides, I have always believed that if my time is up, no matter what I do, I probably can't escape it anyways.

So, anyways, I was happily ignoring the cold, well, not that happily, since I did constantly check that I don't suddenly burn up with fever, but anyways, I developed a cough outta nowhere last night. Really! Just outta nowhere, I just started coughing, and my cold seemed to have gotten worse too.

Though there wasn't fever, I was starting to get a bit worried, not to mention annoyed. Cold, one, I can handle. Cold and cough, two, NO, I don't want to handle. So, I finally got my lazy ass to the clinic and have a checkup.

Like I expected, it wasn't H1N1, duh, but then again, the doctor was kinda funny. The clinic was empty save for me and another patient, and when I went inside the room, the doc had his mask under his chin instead of properly covering his nose and mouth.

So this is me. "Hi Doc, I have been having cold for the past month."

And he immediately pulled his mask up over his nose and mouth.

LOL.

And then he asked, "Have you been outstation for the last month?"

Me: "No, my body just takes forever to build up immunity towards cold. Then yesterday, suddenly, I had cough. So I thought I should see a doc, not to mention that most of my housemates are also having cough and flu."

And he visibly relaxed. And then he smiled. "Yeah, some people take more time to build immunity towards cold." And he proceeded to do the usual checkup routine. Fever. Nopes. Flu. Yeaps. Cough. Yeaps.

And he charged me 55 bucks for medicine that I could have easily gotten at pharmacy. Dang.

There goes my money. If it wasn't the cough, I would have happily continued ignoring my cold and saved myself the 55 bucks. Ah... the things I could buy or eat with that medicine money.

Sobs!
