My first AMBULANCE experience...

By owen

yesterday, around 2:00pm, just an hour after we (with my colleagues) had our lunch break... was joking around with them, laughing, then all of a sudden i felt a weak pain just below, the mid of my chest... i ignored it by zipping water... then again it intensifies, as i tried to set aside the pain.. i found my self grasping for air to breath...

then, that's it... my head is panicking already, i could not breath! .. my colleagues told me that i gone pale.. they rush towards me.. and i could almost found myself trying to clutch at them, as if they can help me to provide some airway for me to breath... my vision gone blur, i remember the staffs gone panicked, my boss dialing 999 (i was informed later on that 3 of them dialed 999)... i remember my boss asking for my age as he is infront of me... they walk me through the hallway, where as they said, i almost stumble, but only my lady colleague was holding me and the men around could not touch me (as their custom here)...

near our exit stairway, our officeboy handed me a wet tissue and wipe it on my face... after that, i felt sudden relief.. well, compared to looking for airway to breath to breathing again, that's a relief for me.. but the inside of my body was still shaking...the ambulance came...

i was like.. "oh shoot, i'm going to ride an ambulance..this would be embarrassing"... the story that we had once collected between me, karin, treysdad, normanila and KE is happening..to me!.. i never have imagined this (who would want?)...

inside, they asked me to lay down, asked several personal infos, check whether I'm conscious, checked my BP which was as usual high... the whole trip, they made me talk probably to make me conscious..

in the hospital, they perform BP, ECG, blood let, Xray, check my sugar, gave me injection for pain... everything was normal, well except for my BP and low count of white blood cell (don't know what that means), kailangan daw pasukan ako ng tubo to check my insides..well this one they said can be perform some other time.. they let me out around 5pm...
