A Hospital Paste by Q
Added 2021-11-22 17:11:44 +0000 UTCToday was.... Was. Hope you'll have a laugh. This is also the first time I wrote anything since secondary school so it might have some issues :P
Enjoy!
Fuck my life...
Be me...
Last medical test ahead. Lovely day, even the sun came out.
Got up before 8, took shower, got my IVy, had hand exercises
Two hours of chill and bliss before they'll throw my ass into the little hospital shuttle
11:20 the trip begins to the second building. Lovely Sopot.jpg
You arrive on time, quick registration
You are second in line and quickly get inside
You are told to take off your bra, watch, you ask about the piercings.
They have to go.

You manage, you'll worry later, this will take just a moment, right?
You fulfil nurse's tasks to the letter, it'll be faster that way

They need the pink cannula for contrast, not the blue one...

The nurse searches for the vein
She found it.
She flushes it with saline.
Blood is not coming back...
She flushes it again and again. Nothing.
Something is not right
You have two cannulas now.
More flushing, but nothing changes, no swelling too, but there is no blood
- I am so sorry, we need to look for a different vein
Oh... Fuck...
She finally found it. Right arm, inside the elbow
Rinsing.
It worked.
Blood..?
It came back after flushing so it's actually working
Testing testing.
Let's do this.

Tomography scanner goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You feel warmth in your arm from the contrast agent
All as planned.
The warmth stops...
There is weird tension in your upper arm
Oshitoshitoshit

The nurse came in a rush
-is it bad?
-umpmhm
Your arm is Arnold S. sized
Raiders of the lost vein..
You now have the total of 5 cannulas you can hear "gotta catch 'em all" playing in your mind
You're destroyed, your arm is not bending anymore
Your blood is on the bed part of the machine and some bits and bobs
You feel for the nurse, she really is trying her best, but she can't really work with what you have provided..
The last cannula seems to be the thing
You are promised that this is the last one, no more jabs
Here we go again....
Tomography scanner goes brrrrrrrrrrrr
You're scared, you'll have flashbacks
You pray to any gods that are listening so that your arm doesn't fucking explode
Panic.gif
The doors open, the nurse came to tell you that all is good and that they did the test
Lol vut?
You didn't feel a thing

It's over
It's finally over.
You can now get dressed
Your arm is a bit numb
But you were joking the whole fucking time, what else was there to do?
The nurse was laughing hard, you were crying and laughing due to various issues
Generally you had so much laugh you're a hobbit now
You go to the changing room, somehow you manage to put your piercings back in and the bra
We.are.the.champions.mp3
Back in the shuttle, you go back to the safety of your room, all is in the past.
You have only two cannulas left.
You are hungry, you didn't have breakfast, but the dinner was left for you
Food is salvation

The second dish is covered with a plate, you move it aside and half of your food unsticks and falls on the ground.
Happily, you received one litre of saline with all the flushing, you have two does of contrast in your veins and underneath your skin, and you were told to drink at least 3 litres of water so you flush the contrast out of your system. You are NOT going to be hungry

It was intense first hand, but I'm having a good laugh now x3 Glad it's over now and I can get proper treatment thanks to that test :)
