1338--Back to the Finnish Doctors27 Jul, 2009 | Posted by: person63

So I returned to the Finnish doctors because of the lovely pain I was feeling in my throat. Woo! However this time I had a doctor who actually cared, so she was able to help me a lot. I am going to Turveystalo, the work clinic through my University, which has doctors meet you in their office rather than an examination table. Whenever you are set for a test, you will meet with a laboratory specialist who has another office, so you go to the provider/nurse rather than them coming to you. But all I need to say is that this trip was much more productive than my last.

I've had a long term viral sinus infection that was actually noticeable last time too (the doctor today looked at my old notes and said the canker sores and the fever were those). However the tests did not come back positive because there are no tests for viral infections so they could not prescribe me stuff, but over-the-counter drugs here are strong enough. I have some nasonex, some weak codeine tablets that are salmiak flavoured and you have to suck them, and then I have some prescription strength Ibuprofen (at least if we were in the US). So they also told me to rest through Wednesday so my work gave me some sick leave. That is it for now. I will go back and sleep after one little ending.

After the doctor helped me find the right medicine brands that would be in the pharmacy and also gave me a sick note, she prescribed warm coffee/tea and one of my favourite prescriptions. She told me I had to eat lots of ice cream--the best prescription of all. She did a better job at prescribing ice cream than Crawford Long. Okay. Time for some more sleeping and relaxing.
