First thing on the agenda when I got to the office at 6 15 this morning,was to call the hospital.Hoping to be able to speak to the neurosurgeon on call - cos thats what they get paid to do - ask tell him about the concerto of mosquitoes,I have between my ears.
The pain was bad last night.I wasnt able to turn my head  to the left without feeling Willie tugging on the other end trying to stop me.
But I survived the night on no medication - somehow.
So I called the hospital,and told me that the neuro on call would only be available to patients after 9am,and that the guy who is there right now,is only taking calls from Doctors.
 
Well....ok then.
 
So what the fuck do I til 9am? - if my head explodes before then,or I try a DIY shunt removal with a steak knife and a pair of  pliers,and get it wrong?
 
what then?

    Oh hun, I hope by now (10.15am here) that you have managed to speak to someone in the know.  You just CAN'T go on with this kind of pain, no one can.  i get so angry and yet I know that won't do you any good at all but I care about you very much and you don't deserve this.  I'm praying they can do something with that shunt xxx

    I'd be pissy enough to call back posing as a doctor to get the arrogant prick on the phone.  Candy ass doctor!

    Yeah, if I were in your shoes I'd definitely have had a hard time keeping my composure and probably would have wound up screaming at them to get me the damn doctor or else I'd rip their intestines out through the phone line.  I guess that wouldn't have gotten anything done any quicker, besides being hung up on though, huh?  I hope by now you've gotten attended to and are on some sort of path towards feeling better and not having a swarm of mosquitoes between your ears.
