Today (August 20, Wed)
Today we have another appointment at Oftalmologia, at 08:30. You must come in, before the appointment, at 08:00, no breakfast, to the Sala de Extraciones to give blood.”
Sala de Extraciones
"I have an appointment..."
"Please enter your Salud Andalucia card in the machine"
Nothing.
"Nothing"
"I'll check"
The common denominator with all this is: waiting.
The word "patience" obviously has something to do with the word "patient".
Ticket "MDY", Box 1.
6 or 7 vials blood.
"Estoy vacio"
Oftalmologia
09:15 The whole circus, again: eye drops, the machine to measure field of vision, the machine to make a scan of the inside of your eye, the machine to make another scan of your eye, and the machine that goes "bzzz!". They have a lot of machines.
Three doctors. Interesting case, obviously.
Serologia: negativo.
All done, come back in two days.
Left home at 7:15, home by 15:00. These are long days.
Next (22 August, Friday)
08:30
"ahh, mr. Jansen"
They already know me now.
Again, the circus with eye drops, machines, etc.
"Please go to planta 0 for a radiografia. To rule out TBC"
WE ARE BORG
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
"Arriba!"
"Huh, what?"
I was supposed to step on the platform.
Bzz click
Bzz click
Listo.
Up to planta 1 again.
All done, come back on Monday, no breakfast, for an MRI with contrast.
And Tuesday for an angiogram, with contrast.
An MRI??
Contrast??
They want a scan of the whole head, plus a scan of the optic area.
The engineer suspects two things:
- they want to see more of the optic nerve, and whether it is affected
- they want to rule out things like brain tumors
"Have a good weekend!"
