Military Doctors
I woke up this morning and my stomach hurt, which later turned into nausea. I decided enough is enough with feeling lousy, so I made an appointment at the clinic. I didn't get seen until 10 and between going to the lab, pharmacy, and turning in my quarters slip, I didn't get home to rest until almost noon. The most frustrating part is that my doctor didn't want to give me quarters at all. When I asked about it, she asked me if I was busy at work and said that the drugs she was prescribing should make me feel better to continue working. wtf? This isn't the first time a military doctor has decided to take it upon themselves to determine whether my squadron can afford to do without me or not. They have no right in my opinion to determine unit/mission degradation. They just need to do what they can to make me feel better so I can get back to work, not deny me time to rest. Usually quarters is for 24-48hrs. She only gave me until tomorrow morning. Oh well, I'll take what I can get. I did get to rest, nap, and take a hot bath. It's hard to determine whether I'm feeling better or not. The body aches aren't really going away. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep through the night and feel 100% by tomorrow. Oh, I almost forgot, they are doing a test on my throat to determine whether it's strep or not...since it's still bothering me. I guess we'll see whether I'm going on antibiotics or not. Fun stuff.
