So the long awaited meeting with the ENT arrives. To avoid any hard thinking on the doctors we came armed with the scans. We get in and explained some symptoms then straight to the point. Here's our scan and we need a biopsy. He then proceeded with spraying my nose with bitter crap. Thanks, at least he managed a hello before doing it. He suggests we see the neurosurgion at Ipoh. Huh? That's going to take an apointment and more delays. We mentioned that the neurosurgion at the private hospital referred us to an ENT to do the biopsy. So he went to consult his colleague. His colleague comes in and yes we should do it. Now. What? Now? The private hospital wants warding overnight. So I say when will I be warded? He says no warding as it will only take a minute. Now I feel some apprehension. He says kids take it ok and I say kids know nothing, they just take it. I was thinking of the pain that I will feel. So he gives me more aneasthetic. Here goes. I couldn't watch. I tell you it sure feels snug when stuff is shoved up your nose. One big sample and another smaller deeper sample. Done.
Actually that wasn't bad, sure saved me $4k.
As a reward the doctor gives pain killers df118 or something. He offered morphine :) but I kindly declined. Wonder if it would have been good to try. It's not everyday you get prescribed dope :).
He also said no nose picking as it might scratch the biopsy point and bleed possibly badly. Man that sucks cos I love picking my nose.
He then booked me for another day to discuss the biopsy results.
