My blocked nose was showing no sign of improving. .and this was the last of the medicine. ...so why wait until tomorrow for my appointment.

Hi good morning doctor. ..

Good morning yes how are you..

Well am not so good. . I've used up all the medicine you give me and it's still very hard for me to breathe and it feels like it's burning all the time.

Have been washing your nose properly.

Yes.. just like the nurse showed me.

How much of saline have you been using a day.

Well you gave me one bottle (1000ml) and I had one bottle at home. .. that was 4 days ago...its okay. . I'm good it works out at half a bot... (500ml) a day.

NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO USE ONE BOTTLE. ..A DAY.

WHAT...!!!! YOU NEVER TOLD THAT...AND ANYWAY YOU ONLY GAVE ONE BOTTLE.

Yes well that was my mistake she says but that what you have to do ok.

Yes.ok ...

Now do you want me to make an appointment with the specialist...

What specialist ..I thought you were the specialist I said.

Yes that right I am...but Dr. Niyom is a specialist in snoring. Your girlfriend told me you snored...and that's what I think is coursing your problem.

Now do you want to see him or not???

Breath in deeply then breath out slowly through partly open lips..I did it twice and then was able to reply.

Yes doctor I do... I want to see anybody that might be able to help me.

Doctor what about this lump in my throat that just come up..

Your throat is clear she said.

No it's not listed..erk. .Harr. arr . And I feel that it's coming up from my lungs because all this has started since this copd diagnosis.

Well yes let me look... yes your seeing doctor consult specialist (can't name for legal reasons) about that.

Yes that's right. I went to see him about this last week..but he told me (with hand on chest) that he was a chest doctor.

Right what you got to do is drink 2 litres of water a day every day she says.

yes I know that doctor and I do try and drink that but it's very hard you can see that am not that big... what about all those people who are much bigger then me twice the size and they only have to drink 2 litres. . Couldn't I just drink 1 or 1 and half litres. Would that.....

It was at that point she flipped and shouted at me...look at me gerrrr am small.. smaller then you and I can drink 2 litres. .. look and points to her desk. .. look at my cup look how big it is...and I drink 4 of them every day.

It was a very big..We would call it a giant mug really.

I thank her very much for her time.

I don't know if she forgot or didn't want to give me any medication.

I have an appointment this Wednesday for the snoring specialist.

Have a good day people

Andy.
