THE MEDICAL CLINIC
Well you just knew it was coming. I started getting a severe
sore throat yesterday afternoon. So it kept me awake sometimes during the night
and Debated on whether or not to be seen. Eventually I said yes becauseWhile
there I didn’t want to regret waiting later. The tall, far too young, Aussie RN
named Dane checked me in.
Before I forget, the medical clinic is on the 4th
deck close to amidships. There’s hardly any ship’s motion down there! The place
was busy. One guy clearly with the flu, another lady with a cough that wouldn’t
stop, and a man who ran in with an almost cut off thumb. One of the room
stewards was there as well. So I was still questioning my decision.
There is also a pretty young nurse from Durban so Africa.
All of them work like such a great team. The MD is fraom Cape Town, young, very
good looking, educates well, soft, calm voice. Thorough. I liked him.
So I have viral pharyngitis. Gave me lozenges for the throat
pain and after seeing my personal pharmacy, declared, along with the pain med I
got on the Caribbean Princess in September, I was all set. So now I am at the
runny nose stage. Yuk.
While there they used a small portable X-ray machine on the
man with the cut thumb. It was about the size of laptop but stacked 4 high. Quiet
ingenious.
Beautiful weather today. We are over a 1000 miles SWof LA
now. Seas are better each day. Temps in the 60s. Wind is moderate as are the
seas between moderate and high but so much better than previous days.
