Hospitals are one of the worst places I hate to go and I can not even deny it. The smell of antiseptics, drugs, injections, and emergency gives me goosebumps each time I go to the hospital. And it's just so amazing that I rarely fall sick so which makes me thankful all the time.
But on this fateful evening in the last week of May, I was in my room watching some videos when my mum came into my room, from the look on her face I could sense everything is not right.
Before this time, she has been complaining of body pains and headaches, and thinking it was minute, I got her some analgesic to help reduce the pain. She got to my room and she could not explain what the problem was. So, she suggests going to see the doctor.
We got to the hospital, registered, and sat at the reception to wait for her turn. After some minutes, I was already feeling some rumbling in my stomach.
"I'm not going to vomit here," I said to myself, so I stepped outside the reception to get some mints at a nearby superstore…
I excused my mom for some minutes and came back to the hospital, and I was chewing the mint gum when my mum was called in. I followed her, so I can also explain and get firsthand information from the doctor. The doctor's office was so nice and the smell was different, nice, and sweet.
"Your mum is having high blood pressure," said the Doctor and she will be admitted here for proper monitoring…"
"And about the body pains, since it is the same thing she complained of the last time she came here, I would suggest she go for an X-ray. So we can know what exactly is going on in her body system" The Doctor continued.
The look on my mum's face was plain and I felt so sorry for her, I hate seeing people in pain and I prayed silently to God to perfect his healing in her life.
As we stepped out of the Doctor's office to the Radiology Section, I felt a rumbling in my stomach and my chest region, and before I could rush outside, I threw up right in the reception.
I felt so horrible and irritated at the same time, it was a bad hospital experience for me. And i hope i dont go to the hospital again this year, because I am yet to recover from the experience
Does drugs smell can actually make one feel sick. I never liked going hospital.
