diarrhea outbreak

[wuqi256]

might as well bring the full plate of food from canteen go direct and throw in toilet

don't be a middleman

The coffee too. Yes it was a waste but at that time i was more horrified that it came out like that. I truly thought my end was near as my dad had told me he had experienced something like that years back and had fainted at the work site. When it came out like that, i was really surprised.

Instead of hanging on to continue to work like i was planning to, i went straight to my boss and went to see a doctor and got MC. I could barely manage to drive back that day.

When a person is undergoing a diarrhoea episode, eating food is one of the least important things on our minds. Yet, eat or drink we must. One eats or drinks to replendish the water lost or to try to stem the outflow with solid food and to add fibre to the stomach. It is disheartening to say the least, when one sees what we eat or what we drink (thick teh o , for example) goes in and comes out straight 5 minutes later, still hot...it is also scary...we just don't know what and why the fxxx is happening to our bodies...and this kind of experience is not a joke....

Yes agree, having food and drinks coming out in their original forms was the worst form of diarrhea for me. Was too tired when i finally saw the Dr but did mention it. He didn't explain much but said that likely the digestion system was in over drive, purging everything that goes in. Prescribed me some meds and told me i needed lots of rest, didn't need much prompting that day.

Just to share with bros my recent episode of diarrhoea about 2 months back just after Chinese New Year.

Took a CNY orange at the spur of the moment late at night and next morning it was toilet visiting time again and again and again..about four times. Though could tahan the pain but late evening, pain too much and went to a nearby clinic. Young, fat doctor heard my symptoms and straight away said "... you must go to the hospital immediately to be placed on the drip...I give you a referal letter for SGH...".

I think left and I think right...this is not the kind of treatment I had been through previously when I had diarrhoea...so I clarified again, "...must I go to the hospital for this diarrhoea?" Young, fat doctor said ..." yes, your condition very serious...must go to hospital to 'tiao chiu'...". Still not convinced I told young, fat doctor, ok, at least give me some medicine to ease my pain now. Took a while before young, fat doctor said ok, issued medicine and charged me over $40 for consultation, medicine and referral letter.

Over the next two days, I took the medicine issued and my condition improved and by 3rd day, pain no more. Indeed, 3rd day, could not pass motion and waited till 4th day and had hard time to pass.

So, moral of the story? I may have been lucky this time, but not every referral to the hospital may be justified. Just got a tingling feeling that young, fat doctor did not possess enough medical experience to provide proper treatment to patients... feels like he is just passing the buck to the hospital as well as covering his ass by referring my case to the hospital ... to tiao chui and observation and burn a hole in the pocket. WTF.

Just my sharing of some experience. Cheers!!

Moral of the story is dun write too much. Nobody reads here.

For real diarrhea, boil rice with lots of water until it breaks up, then drink it all in one go without adding salt or sauce. Quite effective - you get to rehydrate as well.

But, sadly, there is no real cure for verbal diarrhea.

The best is to drink porridge water. Boil some rice with lots of water and drink the "UMM". best for diarrhea

Eating toast also helps. The Indian remedy is to drink "Teh-O Kow" with little sugar.

..and my Cheena friend just named his daughter Diarea too..!

No doubt she'll grow up to be a 'fast and fluid' woman.
