Let me tell you...being sick sucks. I started feeling bad Sunday evening. Woke up during the night with a sore throat to the point that it hurt to swallow. So I went to medical for treatment. I see the doctor, they did two swabs and were going to run a culture to see what exactly I had wrong. They give me all kinds of medicines none of which gave me any relief for my sore throat. None of course were antibiotics either. They tell me they will call me when they get the results back from my culture before they can prescribe antibiotics. So I go home SIQ for 48 hours that is Sick In Quarters for you civilian types. Tuesday afternoon I still havent received any word on my throat culture. So I call and the doctor didnt remember having done one. Are you kidding me? WTFO. So I (Very Grumpy by now) had to count to 10 because I am held responsible for what I say to a Naval Officer. Trust me what I had to say wasnt nice. So I am told to file an ICE Complaint after speaking to a supervisor. I dont give a rats ass about an ICE Complaint. I want my damn pain in my throat to be gone. So today I go in to medical again and once again the doc says the throat culture hasnt come back yet that it takes 48 to 72 hours. Really??? Okay so in the mean time she tells me to let the original meds take affect and begins to lecture me like Im a child. Bad idea!!! I put her in check at this point and well let the cards fall where they may.She wasnt happy with me. Nuff said. So she prescribes me lidocane to gargle with.....yeah right...ever try gargling syrup?? Oh it was fun. The only thing that went numb was my lips and tongue. Throat still hurt. Oh my gag reflex aint that good so when the liquid got to the back of my throat I threw up. Also she gave me Vicodin...for pain. Let me tell you...that stuff knocked my dick in the dirt, crossed my eyes and when the affects finally wore off I was lost. Throat still sore. Fever still there. Still no antibiotics. I have a headache from hell, cant swallow and cant sleep. Screw that vicodin. Im tossing those things. Oh and its way past 72 hours by now and what do you know.....still no phone call telling me the results of my throat culture. Tomorrow I guess I will call every hour until I piss them off. Maybe I will get some answers and finally antibiotics. ........And the Navy wonders why some of its personnel hate medical.
