Hospital
 

Going to the hospital just isn't worth your time. They didn't find anything wrong with me (except the bloodtest still needs to be analyzed).

On the other hand it was a blast! I met interesting people, had interesting conversation, learnt interesting things and got interesting experiences. Really, try this:

1) Drink 1.5 litres of water. 2) Remain seated for two hours 15 minutes. 3) Rise and try to walk. (All blood has gone to your lower body).

When I rose I slowly but steadily started losing conscious. As I literally stumbled through the door of the reception, I just knew that I absolutely had to sit down. I found a chair, sat and remained seated, seeing nothing, realizing nothing. Then I heard a distant, concerned voice: "Is something wrong with you?"

A question. OK. So I probably have to answer something, I thought slowly.

"I'm supposed to... have.... a blood test... an ultrasound.... and... x-ray...." I replied weakly. "And I'm feeling drowsy...."

My ears started ringing.

"Drowsy?" the voice asked. (I believe she thought I was drunk. Can't blame her...)

I mumbled something in reply.

"When were you born?" the voice asked.

"Seventeenth of July, nineteenhundred and eighty-five..." I replied, carefully pronouncing each syllable. I slowly looked up, and noticed that the figure in front of me was starting to resemble a human being. Voices, though, were still coming from somewhere distant.

EDIT: GreenJeanz, what do you think of the mp3 I sent you? :D

Doctors are hacks. There is as much rationale to stuffing you with a handful of antibiotics and geting an X-ray (doctors' stock answers to all problems) - as there is to look in the spilt beans and nuts and predict one's future.

That is why I prefer voodoo to medicine.

I like to follow Bob Marley's lead.

There is only one God and Kingzjester is His prophet.

No, I don't mean that's true. I don't!

I was just repeating it for you!

Really! Stop hitting me!

*explodes*

Well wormie, you had one different experience.

Are you happy? ;)

I resort to traditional Finnish methods. One of my favourites is climbing on the roof of a house in New Year's Eve and sitting (my back facing East... or was it North?) on a piece of pig's hide. I also take a bucket of water and throw it in a crossing of four roads.

Who knows what wonders I've achieved through those tricks?

Thanks to a Finn, I tried running naked out of a steam hosue and rolling around in the snow once. It was... educational. For everyone who was watching too, I guess.

Were you ill, or just bored?

LOL! Tourists....

Seriously, nobody really does that in Finland.

Well, HE did, and he was Finnish. I think. he had an odd accent and everything. And I guess we did it because we heard it was healthy and shit. And it was fun, too.

You know what they say... "Jos ei sauna, viina tai terva auta, on tauti kuolemaksi." ("If sauna, liquor or tar doesn't help, the disease is fatal.") :rolleyes:

Oyy!!! :P

Hmm... I worked in the hosp for a couple of months in the Pathology Dept. It was ok... then boring... then it got interesting... then it got gross... and went to boring again. The suckiest part was the fact that practically everybody in the dept is married (majority are women who are sooo interested in your social life) and they kept asking me when am *I* going to get married! Hah! Not in this lifetime, I think!!!

The fun factor was I have every power to screw up everybody's test results. Mwahahahahahaha!!!

Rofl deadworm! Isn't it dangerous to become unconscious like that though? Anyway, I might actually try it once. It sounds like fun ;)

:P I'm glad yo met interesting people and learned interesting things, heh.

That's it! Now you won't ever get me into a hospital!

Uh, I don't think he did it on purpose ... :rolleyes:

No, but I really recommend it.

You have been chated. There's a TV-programme in Finland that shows all the things we have made foreigners do because they thought it was exotic. Those who run that business are rather well-paid...

Goodbye, friends... *sniff*

No, I'll stay alive just to annoy you, folks.

I rather doubt it, since a) He was a rather close friend of one of the others who did it and b) He was the first one to run screaming and barebacked out, shouting "perkele" or something.

Yes, it's amazing how you think you know people.

Butbut... He talked with... an accent. :frown:


BAH! I'm sure you just live in the wussy part of Finland where you DON'T act like maniacs, and you're jealous that I got to roll naked in freezing snow, and you didn't! :( :(
