Open Thread

so i went to my old doctor in chelsea because it;s closer to work and it’s open 24/7 now! it’s kind of a walk-in clinic a bit on the ghetto side, i never realized that before til today. first off i was there waiting like 3 hours, then an hour stuck in a tiny room and i almost filled my bag with bandaids and tongue depressors but i was afraid there was a hidden camera in the room. anyway, when i signed up on the walk-in sheet i looked at the people ahead of me and someone was signed in, and in the comments section it said ‘bedbug bites’ ugh! i scanned around the waiting room trying to guess which person was the one with possible bed bugs on them. i clutched my bag as close to my body the whole time and when i left i shook all my clothes out just in case!

anyway, i was prescribed three drugs.. an anti inflammatory, a muscle relaxor (wound up giving myself a muscle spasm from coughing so much and hard.. i can hardly move my head it hurt so bad (last night i thought i caused a collapsed lung, but it was just a muscle spasm) also a giant drama queen came into the clinic screaming and moaning saying he had back spasms lol. i never saw anyone act like that before, they asked if he was having heart problems or smoething then i think they just sent him to the hospital. i heard all this from the little room i was stuck in for an hour.

ugh, and the third thing they prescribed was an inhaler for a month, advair. the damn thing cost me 161 dollars at the pharmacy!!!! the other two prescriptions werent that expensive. apparently i have smoe kind of resipratory infection or something. they didnt even look in my throat. he just listened to my breathing and asked me if i knew i wheezed. :-/ i asked him what wheezing was (he didnt answer), and then told me to quit smoking. double ugh. so i guess i really do have to quit, especially after this horrible whatever it is i have, he really didnt even say. i guess it’s not contagious or anything so that’s good. i dont know how im going to quit smoking, it’s my third most favorite thing to do in the entire world!!

i feel like such a skeezey trashbag.

*rob*

six years, good to hear. Let us know when you’re coming to the City, so we can get together for drinks (obviously).

maybe liquor license expired?

Thank goodness you cleared that up, THL. I almost lost all respect for you 😉

Ok, since we’re on the topic. Here is the TTOTD (Throwback Thread of the Day).
