Unsure decisions
We met again on a
day that started too dull to have been the follow on from a brilliant day, the
day before and I was hardly dressed for it.
It was time to
consider whether it was prudent to convey my clinical needs over here in terms
of many things I have enjoyed with the treatment, the professionalism and the consideration
that had served me so well over the last 4 years in the Netherlands.
Not as absorbed
Usually, I am seen
within 15 minutes of arrival, but it was 30 minutes before I was called in,
though I occupied myself with the New Statesman magazine that I took with me
not sure of what to envisage.
When we got talking,
we ticked off the issues; more questions came than I had answers for though
I had enough information to help determine a particular course of treatment
along with the need to contact my medical consultant in the Netherlands for
additional information having signed some forms.
The news was not
entirely good, the basic organ functions were fine but some readings were not
an improvement on my last tests that a new battery of tests was needed.
The atmosphere was
nothing like the conviviality I was accustomed to and once the doctor had
disappeared, I saw nothing of her again before I left – it was rather
disconcerting but for the expediency and immediacy of monitoring and treatment
close to where I currently work.
A feast for long fangs
Soon, I submitted
myself to the phlebotomy of needy vampires and I could have swooned for the
life that was drained from my veins into six vials.
In two weeks, we
will meet again and one wonders what will be in store though there is enough to
bother me if I were to care so much for that fact that certain readings are not
going in the direction one would have wanted.
