Middle-aged unemployed ___ New crown nucleic acid test and pharyngitis

I have a lot of problems with me.

Depression, gastroesophageal reflux and gastritis, arrhythmia, baldness, muscular obesity, severe menstrual cramps, chronic pharyngitis, low levels of chemical in the blood of some kind of inability to read.

I don't remember when it started, I always feel like there is phlegm or some mucus in my throat, but I can't get it out. I can only clear my throat every few minutes (the doctor told me today that the chairman of a large company clears his throat before he speaks, which seems to be the chairman's life!), no matter how much water you drink, it is useless. This kind of situation is sometimes accustomed to, and after a period of unknowingly, it seems that the throat does not get stuck again.

I thought it might be a cold or a variety of reasons! I am very accepting that there is no right cause for the disease. This doctor said this, that doctor guessed so, and even many doctors began to look for the cause in the patient. For example, because you often eat spicy food, because your daily routine is not good, you go to bed too late, you don’t exercise, you don’t pay attention to keeping warm, and you often drink ice, etc. Like a fortune teller. Like a snake, it clings to the narration thrown by the patient as a clue. So I really don't want to know why, I just want to fix the situation.

Then I don't believe in Western medicine, a bunch of antibiotics, and I don't remember learning there that most of the ingredients in a pill are filled with ineffective powder or the like, and the real effective materials are only in a super small part of the pill's volume. I regard Chinese medicine as another form of food, and it may be improved a little as a health care. I believe in the human immune system and the ability to repair itself.

I don't see the doctor very often, and I rarely get sick when I was young.

After I went to graduate school and started working, my whole body started to get sick.

I always clear my throat involuntarily in the office, even if I try to hold back or hide it, it's still obvious. Finally my little supervisor asked, "Do you want to buy some medicine for your pharyngitis?"

pharyngitis. The first time I heard of this disease.

I checked the Internet, and I can't see what it is useful to solve this matter.

In Shanghai, I have always believed in Taobao. As long as you search on Taobao for any problem, you can find products that can solve the problem. For a while I drank a bitter herbal tea, but I really drank my pharyngitis! However, the pharyngitis was repeated, and I did not drink tea every day without interruption.

For more than 3 years in Shanghai, I have never seen a doctor in a hospital. On the one hand, I don't have a medical insurance card. On the other hand, it is a kind of self-rejection to go to an unfamiliar environment and put myself among many people. I would rather hide in the room and repeat every day.

Every time I go back to Taiwan, I prepare a lot of medicines. Mainly the medicine for gastroesophageal reflux and the pain reliever for menstrual pain. With these two medicines, I am basically invincible.

Since October 12, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, all passengers arriving on or departing from Taiwan are required to present a nucleic acid test report 72 hours before boarding.

This news suddenly exploded among several groups in Taiwan, and all kinds of legends. Luckily, I was pulled into a group returning to Taiwan, and I could directly learn the real case sharing of returning to Taiwan. Which hospital to go to for testing can make an appointment with the Taiwan Compatriot Card, which clinic can issue the report on the same day, and the printed black and white report is best to go to the front desk and stamp it with a red seal, etc. I think this is easy. Find a case that has passed the test, and follow the copying process to solve the problem (I am good at copying and pasting imitation learning, this clear path makes me very comfortable).

In the second half of the year, I mainly took cases with friends as the main source of income, and then I focused more on the project of applying for the return of cats to Taiwan. Finally reached the last few steps, I hope everything can go smoothly, I really needed a good thing to happen when my mental state was not very stable.

One last thing: COVID-19 nucleic acid testing. Just get the report.

I went to the central hospital in Jing'an District, got a temporary medical insurance card, got a small notebook, registered at the window and paid the fee. The doctor asked me to take my temperature first without looking at me. Where should I go? After getting an impatient answer, I ignorantly went to the small front desk of the past internal medicine department and registered my temperature there. When I went back to the doctor, they gave me a bill of payment and let me go through the barrier myself. This doctor is doing his job, he is not doing service (I was used to Taiwan for a while, but I have learned this principle and understood it when I was in Shanghai).

With difficulty, I followed the indicators, asked the security guards, followed a few people who seemed to be going for nucleic acid testing, entered the wrong ward and exited, and found a testing pavilion next to another outdoor entrance.

There are two methods for nucleic acid testing, wiping the throat or sampling the mucosa of the nasal cavity. Years ago when I tried to see my stomach through my nostril through an endoscope, I failed because my nasal cavity was too small. I remember pain. So I'm nervous. The medical staff first took a medical cotton swab and wiped it on the base of my tongue. I felt a little flower in my heart, thinking that was it, but he took out another cotton swab and poked it into one of my nostrils. The cotton swab kept going deep, so I couldn't help but keep backing away. After holding back, another cotton swab went to my nostril that had not been violated. In this way, my nucleic acid test was completed. Let me come over in the afternoon to get the report.

My mood has been very subtle all day long. There still seems to be a strange feeling deep inside my nostrils. If I want to describe it, is this the feeling of bursting chrysanthemum mentioned in BL works? The feeling of being forced and having to accept it, do you always remember it afterwards? I went to get the report in the afternoon, and as soon as I entered the hospital, I covered my nose, there was a shadow.

I think this is the first and last time in my life that I have been snubbed like this!

A month after I returned to Taiwan, I suffered from pharyngitis again. Cough to the point where I can't take it myself. I went to a nearby clinic to register for a doctor, but after taking the medicine for a few days, it still didn't heal, so I went to see the doctor again today.

The old doctor is very experienced, and as soon as he heard about my condition, he immediately gave me a class. It was concluded that this was due to the structure of my airway and the allergic reaction under my frail body.

The stomach is not good, and the small tube connecting the nose to the eyes is not very good, so I have many dreams at night and can't sleep well. Then look at the throat where you can't see the flat strip glands when you open your mouth, which explains that your airway is too narrow. When you sleep at night, it is difficult to breathe. , but also prone to chest tightness. Later, it is recommended to sleep on the side a little better.

Is it like a numerologist? ! It's very bad for my stomach (it was also found that gastroesophageal reflux can cause throat jams), and my heart rate was as low as 40 beats a minute when I was sleeping at night when I checked the arrhythmia (heart palpitations during the day), and I always Is lying on his back and sleeping. The plot has come out, just waiting for the audience to pay.

The old doctor speaks Taiwanese, fast and vague. I'm just a beginner in Taiwanese (ashamed), and it's hard for me to concentrate outside, so I forcibly listened to a part, and then I don't know why, I took out a long pipe, what do I do?

Come on, nose.

The next second the tube has been poked into one of my nostrils! One has two, and soon the other nostril will not be spared. Then the medical staff took a notebook for me to sign. Endoscopy requires a signed consent. It turned out to be just an endoscope!

Signed and raised his head, there were two cotton swabs, very familiar cotton swabs. At the same time again violated my two nostrils deep! Just sticking in there, the old doctor took this opportunity to tell me a joke about clearing his throat like a chairman (I'm... polite but not embarrassed), saying that there are medicines on the two cotton swabs, help me first Let what is in it to reduce swelling and so on. The old doctor explained a lot and told me about the time to pay attention to the return visit and because of the health insurance limit, so he will prescribe the spray to me next time. He waved a small packet of white pills in his hand again, and said with a smile that this is very effective. Just take one. how is it going. My line of sight kept seeing two cotton swabs, and there was no flaw in the presence of the cotton swabs that could be ignored. That time was really long.

I don't even know what happened in the end.

In a daze, I walked out of the clinic to get medicine at the pharmacy, and was disappointed.

This is the last day of 2020. Hopefully 2020 is the only year that pokes my nose deep.
