WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

k so that day i was having a bloody headache at my camp for around 1 day and finally decided to see the doctor there. against my good judgement i requested to rest in the sick bay and suffice to say i got extremely well acquainted with needles through that experience.

Firstly they decided that they wanna insert my vein through the connecting wires to dunno what packet of thing lah. I asked them if it was necessary for all those rubbish anot. all i really need is a good rest but they said they were 'acting on orders' and as a precaution in case something happened to me, they could feed me liquids or dunno what shit through my vein to my body. Sure thing noob - how bout Iran to win the World Cup.

OK so initially they took like forever to set up all the rubbish with 1 pple doing and 4 pple watching - typical way the army works. then they took another lifetime of forever to find my vein, alternating between my right and left hand before concluding that my right hand side was easier. K sure thing, i was thinking get this done with and i can get some sleep in peace.

Amateur no.1 was first to go.

"Could be a little painful" - he told me in mandarin. Well no shit sherlock.

I endured about 10 minutes of the needle in my skin/vein and heard dunno how many times 'no backflow leh' possibly hinting at the imminent failure of his clumsy attempt. And at last when he DID take out the needle at that point i thought they were done and i could finally get some rest.

But no.

Amateur No.2 was up next and he told me to stretch out my left hand. "I tot u all take already?"
Amateur No.1 : "couldnt find the vein..sorry ah"

Now let me conclude Amateur No.2 attempts by saying that he has issues. Not only did he remarkably fail to locate my vein, he apparantely didnt get anywhere near it. Then in the process he navigated the needle in my skin like he was playing xbox 360 with the needle as the joystick knnbccb.

Now for Amateur No.3. The million dollar question - Right or Left hand this time ?

Amateur No.3 wanted another go at this guinea pig's lef - sorry MY left hand this time. Looked more serious and capable - could he make it ? I sure thought so until he dropped the bombshell.

"Dont worry lah my record of "1 shot 1 kill" is 7 out of 10 times."

Wow, a 7/10 rate for a supposedly qualified medic sure filled me with confidence didnt it - NOT. Quite expectedly he failed like the other 2, probably more disappointed that took his track record down.

Attempt number 4 arrived soon enough - no, even their incompetence could not persuade them to let me off. Endured another 10 minutes of their latest attempt- to be honest i had lost count at that moment, could have been no.5 but im not sure. Anyway they failed.

Again.

Finally they decided to try 1 last time on my left hand - "if cannot tell MO liao lah" looks like they were finally convinced by their own failures. And wouldnt you bet against it - on the fucking FIFTH try did one of them, god bless him, manage to hit my vein.

The whole thing took around 1 hour with so many pple crowding around your bed like watching show. After this treatment even someone with phobias of needles also would become not scared liao. And for all that trouble that thing sticked in my vein for only like 1 hour + before they came and rip it off. WTF ? I guess the only good point was that throughout the process i've forgotten abt the initial pain in my head and before i knew it i was ok again. Fuck.
