Day 16: Grey's Anatomy

Today, I was called "Grey's Anatomy" by an Italian boy.

(When I say "called", I mean I walked back into the consultation room, he pointed at me and said, "Grey's Anatomy!" One can only smile and nod at that kind of remark/ outburst...)


I am manning the station alone this afternoon (Alice has gone diving again)- it's hard work. This morning, flocks of people came, so it was pretty much one-in-and-one-out until 12ish when Alice had to bob off.

Then. It got CRAZY busy.


We had an Italian lady (mother of the "Grey's Anatomy" boy) who'd walked INTO a glass door on Friday night, banged her head and had since suffered from intense dizziness and nausea = not good. Her balance was AWFUL. Romberg's +ve and tandem gait RUBBISH, but apart from that full neurological examination was more or less normal (had some slight sensory discrepancies on her R-forehead and R-lateral thigh), no nystagmus, no flashing lights and no vomiting.

Anyway, we sent her off for a CT scan at the "Pyramid" (coz it's shaped like a pyramid)/ Sharm el Sheikh International Hospital, following which Dr Adel advised her to stay under observation at his hospital (the Sinai Clinic) for 24-48 hours.



And now, it is relatively quiet again. Phew. I haven't stopped since half 10. Not even for a drink. So I've stealt a can of cooooool Fanta Orange out of the fridge, teehee. NOMNOMNOM.

Also, circuit training last night was ace, but I am currently in so much PAIN!!! I can't actually get out of bed, I have to *roll* out of bed no thanks to my non-existent abs. Uuuuuugh...
