Today was my first visit to the doctor. Because Taiwan has national health insurance, they want to run to the doctor for every little ache or pain. I was coughing quite severely last night, and it continued to get more and more painful. This morning, Mr. Haung took me to the doctor. From the time we entered the office to the time we went home with medicine in hand, we probably spent 10 minutes or less. It was a very quick and easy thing. The doctor spoke perfect English, which was a major relief. Mr. Huang's English isn't the best, so I wasn't sure how I would know what was going on. He asked me my symptoms, medicine I take, and anything I'm alergic to. He listened to my lungs, looked at my throat, and sprayed something in my throat. Then, he handed me some papers, and we went next dooor to the pharmacy where the medicine was there waiting for me. The entire visit with medicine and all cost me about 3 dollars US.
The medicine comes in little bags for each dosage. There are several different pills in each bag, and they are numbered for when to take each dose. 1 is morning, 2 is afternoon, 3 is evening. Then, there is a brown liquid in a small container that I take 8 cc with each pill dosage. I love how everything is measured out and there is no need to figure anything out on my own. Just open a bag, and take the stuff that's inside. Easy as that!
Hopefully I will feel better soon! My chest feels like it's going to cave in!
