mstakenidentityI went to the doctor yesterday, who gave me penicillan and prescribed a day of rest and fluids. In the evening I went to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jpom40's parents' place for dinner and had two and a half glasses of wine, which was probably unadvisable, but did temporarily make my throat feel better. Whehn that wore off I gargled with Aspro-clear. I then spent the night sleeping fitfully, feeling hot and sick and sorry for myself. Despite having taken the penicillan I feel worse today than I did yesterday, though better than I did Thursday night when I called in sick.
Today I am at work, the combination of no bosses, an evening shift (which tend to be the least stressful, least boring and have the most resources to ameliorate any bordom that turns up) and time and a half after I've had to miss a shift already proved too much for me. I am armed with tea, strepsils, Diflam spray, miso soup and a particularly beautiful red cashmere scarfimpostinator bought me from Florence(Anna, it feels divine, thank you!). Plus no one has called Adult Retrieval since 0025 last night, so knock on wood it stays that way and I get to keep my voice!
I also have made an appointment to see Dr Lum on Tuesday, since I trust him miles more than the doc at Newmarket Bulk Bill Production Line Medical Centre. Hopefully if I'm not better by then he can help.
The clouds are so low it looks like if I went out on the tarmac I could reach up and touch them.

Date: 2009-03-24 12:52 am (UTC)We help move patients from hospital to hospital, help assess patients, give clinical advice to doctors (particularly doctors in regional or remote areas) and liase with the big trauma hospitals when there are, say, multiple victims of a car crash or natural disaster (like the recent bushfires)
I answer the phones and connect people and take notes. I also prepare equipment when doctors need to physically come in and go get patients.
