Now before my family reads this and gets all freaked out, yes I went to a hospital, but, when Americans say I went to the doctor it’s the same as Chinese saying I went to the hospital. They do not have doctor offices here. Well, as far as I know. So really I just went to the doctors. Which, actually was kinda awesome.
We rolled in and went to a counter. Turn styles and all, gave them my name, I’m male, etc. Took 3 minutes. Went up stairs into a area with a bunch of room. Everything is pretty clean. I mean if I remember right my doctors when I was a kid was as clean if not dirtier than this place. Everything is white, tiled, mopped. Nice actually. Dude asked some questions, looked at my throat and sent up to get blood drawn. 5 minutes. Arrived at blood drawing place. Had cute girl help me, I joked, she spoke English, I was smitten, We left. 5 minutes. Waited 10 minutes for results, took them back to doctor guy, he looks at them, tells me I have too many girl friends, writes something on a computer and we are off to get drugs. 5 minutes. Get drugs 10 minutes. All together, around 40 minutes and 20 USD. Hell that’s faster then in the States. The only thing I had to wait for was the blood work.
Here is what I got.
Clarithromycin Tablets – used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), bronchitis (infection of the tubes leading to the lungs), and infections of the ears, sinuses, skin, and throat.
These look like they mean business. Ok cool. They also gave me something else. It took me a bit to find it online and see what the H it is. It’s an antibiotic of some sorts. I suppose it’s made in the western parts of China. I’m not sure. It has Aconitum leaves, Terminalia, musk, madder, vermilion, dark fragrance, and more leaf Oxytropis, inside. Oh goodie.
So I guess I will just have at it with this awesome stuff. Nothing really else to do. Everything seems fine.
I would of took photos of the inside of the hospital but really, it was so fast I didn’t have time. Oh well.
