THE TRUTH ...NOT PANDEMIA... IT WAS NOT THE EPIDEMIC OR THE HIV VIRUS, IT WAS PHARINGITIS TRACHE BRONCHITIC TO THE PNEUMONIA AND I NEEDED A THIRD GENERATION CEPHALOSPORIN

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PANDEMIC ... IT WAS NOT THE EPIDEMIC OR THE HIV VIRUS, IT WAS PHARINGITIS TRACHE BRONCHITIC TO THE PNEUMONIA AND I NEEDED A THIRD GENERATION CEPHALOSPORIN

Three days ago I woke up unable to speak, with a sore throat and a dry cough. Quickly call a neighbor friend- I didn't want to disturb my family who live far away at 2am. We called the Cardiomovil to which I am affiliated - the times that I have used it I noticed that they don't even have a defibrillator - because they took me to the Maldonado Hospital, under the protection of ASSE, as if it were a simple taxi. It is not usual for me to say that I have been practicing medicine for 28 years, just in case of malpractice, I warn you that I am not a simple citizen of the bunch who suffer abuse and wait up to 4 months for a specialist to see them. At that time I was the only patient waiting in the emergency room and even my chest hurt

. Finally, after a long time, a very young doctor called me. I told him I had trachea bronchitis pharyngitis. He looked at my throat and said only that it was red. Shortly after, a nice nurse came - it seems that the only ones who were taught that the first thing to establish with a patient is empathy - the doctors do not know that term - because she gave me a blood glucose test - which gave a very high figure. They had to inject me with insulin 3 times in my abdomen and finally, as my sugar did not drop, they gave me intravenous insulin. An hour later the Doctor came and repeated the glucotest: 199 mlosm, a still high figure but she told me that I was fine and that I could go. -But as if I came for a laryntracheobronchitis that can turn into pneumonia. And that's where anger entered me. "I need a third generation cephalosporin." The Doctor opened her eyes as if she were speaking to him in Chinese. He left and comes back with a recipe for amoxidal. "But this antibiotic goes with Clavulonic acid." She shrugged her shoulders like she was crazy. I got the prescription and went to the pharmacy where I argued with the sleepy girl that it was amoxidal with clavulonic acid. So I took out my doctor's card and showed it to him. He went back and argued with another sleeping in front of the computer who seems to authorize her the medication that I knew would not work for me because of the times I had taken it. I warned the neighbor, sitting outside because they had not let him in to see me - there are more security guards than professional personnel as if it were a prison hospital.

 The next morning I had a wet cough and I bought the right antibiotic at the pharmacy. I went to bed but family and friends began to arrive.
