This is not a good way to spend the day.....
Get to Hamad Hospital.
They do an x-ray.
They do a CT scan.
They make me drink some nasty-tasting constrast solution.
They do the CT scan again.
They give me another dose of the constract solution, this time by another route. (And that's all I want to say on the matter)
They do the CT scan again.
They decide it could be diverticulitis. Or it could be appendicitis. Their recomendation, lapriscopic surgery to see, and that way they can remove it if it is appendicitis
Prep me for surgery.
Do a chest x-ray
Have them decide that they're not going to do the surgery after all, but instead will keep me overnight for observation
Turns out there's no bed available, it being midnight. They decide to keep me in a bed in the ER until one becomes available.
3:00am, send me back to my flat with prescriptions for a pain killer, an anti-fever med, and two antibiotics. (Panadol, Ibuprofen, Flagyl, and Ciprox)
Total time there - 14 hours.
