The funniest thing happened at the most crucial time of my stay at the hospital...... the day of the surgery !
5.30 am - the nurse came in to wake me and gave me shots (ouch!!!) so that i can empty my bladder and bowel and wash up and prepare for the surgery.
6.00 am - the nurse came in again to make sure i have settled down and gave me another shot (double ouch !!). it's a sedation shot so to make me calm down and relax. i guess i needed that. then she tucked me in and put up the bed rails. after she left, i called hubby and as expected, he and my mom is stucked in the rush hour jam. so i guess i wont be seeing them before the surgery.... huhu.
6.20 am - the nurse came in yet again.... this time, she said, 'ok, we're going down'. but at that time the meds had really kick-in so i just smiled.... bcoz i know i'd be screaming and kicking and insisting to wait for my hubby and my mom !
and so the journey began....
as she and another attendant, lady attendant (sigh!); was pushing me out of the room, into the lift to watever floor, then pushed me into somewhere very far into the hospital... i couldn't stop myself from thinking "hey ! this is just like the scenes in Grey's Anatomy !" hah ! yeah ! i was half-awake, fully sedated and thinking of McDreamy !!!!
then the nurse stopped at a counter and another nurse came in. i swear she would be Bailey if not for the height ! (ya, she was so much taller). She sounded like her, esp with her scrub attire and surgical cap ! after going thru the checklist, yet again; she asked "is this your signature on the consent form ?" and i remember thinking "does she know i've been sedated and i might not be very concious to give the right answer?? what if it's not my signature but i said yes ? i can sue u !" hihi.... but i just said yes. of course it's my signature. hihi...
and so she started pushing my bed again. this time through doors. yes, more scenes of Grey's Anatomy. and ER ! (i know.... at this point Shu Wei would be saying 'u've watched to much tv girl !!!') then she stopped and 'parked' my bed by the side wall and said 'tun
more and more nurses and doctors and maybe interns came in and walked pass my bed, all are wearing their surgery attire or shall i say like they call in the movies - their scrubs ! hah ! they look cool. or at least i hope they do. coz i actually didnt get to look at any face !
some time later.... i was wheeled into the OT. this time, for real. it was cold and there's clanking sound of their equipments being prepared. i stared at the huge round spotlight above me and i saw a window-pane on the ceiling. wait a minute !!! is that a preview window ? just like the one in Grey's (again!) !!! oh no, maybe some cute interns are there... and they're gonna watch me being sliced alive... and naked !! oh well, at this point i think they must have seen enuff ! and i know my surgeon is no McDreamy; but wait, where are the interns who'll be helping my surgeon ? or is there another attending doctor ? any McSteamy ??? and then my anasthetic doctor - who had earlier greeted me and asked 'how are u doing this morning, Majmin ?' and yes, again i wanted to say.... 'hello... they're cutting me up, how do u think i'll be feeling ???' but of course i just nodded and smile..... (yes, roll those eyes!) - now he said 'ok majmin, are you ready ?' this time, no thinking. i just closed my eyes and i was out in 2 secs flat. i think i was out way before the meds get to kick-in. hah ! so much for my semi-councious wishes!!
so... is there a real-life McDreamy or McSteamy in the hospitals out there ? if u know of any hospitals that has real-life McHotties, please do inform me. i'd sure be choosing that hospital, should i need (touch wood!!) and even recommend anyone i know to go there, so that when i visit them, i'd sure be hoping to bump into the McHotties !!!! or even the DREAM TEAM ! hah !
