as i told u i have very sensitive bowels. i really need to watch what i eat. but been in jakarta i’ve lost my head over the (street) food here. yeah the taste is second to none. yet the hygiene is another question. it’s been three days i am fucked by this diarrhea. my roaming space is limited to only my sis room and the toilet. to add the salt to the injury, the fever also bonks me out. i am totally fucked.
at first, i refused to see the doc despite my sis constant nagging over this. besides, the docs here are lousy. i just don’t trust them. they are shark or crocodile i m telling you. why? this is the story.
last saturday my sis had a very painful headache and stomachache. i took her to the hospital immediately and she was handled by the doc in the emergency room. you know what happened. the doc could not decide what was wrong with my sis. that doc said probably my sis has an infection in her stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder and appendix. so he suggested a blood test. because i was short of cash that day we did not do the blood test we just asked for some medication instead. it cost me around IDR. 500.000. my mom upon hearing the doc’s diagnose forced us to do the blood test. so on monday i took the sis to the same hospital to do that bloody costly blood test. guess what the result told us. she has nothing wrong with her. her condition is superb. the only illness she has is fatigue. i repeat, fatigue. see, what kind of doc is that? he can’t even diagnose that simple disease. is it necessary to do a blood test just for fatigue? simply hilarious. in short, i am poorer almost a million rupiah just for fatigue. my sis just laughs at me when i keep cursing that that doc is “tidak tamat sd” (he does not finish elementary school).so, i decide i will never ever see any doc in this city.
but folk for my case, the montezuma is so strong that i have to concede defeat. i just surrendered when my sis dragged me to the nearest puskesmas (centre of public health) which only cost us Rp. 10.000. i believe this doc is really a real doc. her prescription is manjur (it works). now, the fever is a pass but the montezuma stays. yeah food poisoning will not diminish that fast. i have to be super patient. holy god the trip to the loo has been less frequent now. i feel so weak. pondering what kind of jagoan i am to be down with such a leceh-leceh illness? sigh.

May i recommend you buy a can of pineapple rings and consume its content and drink its syrup. This is a grandmother’s recipe to fix diarrhea.
It has worked every time for me when nothing else work. Dont’ ask me why it works but it works! Won’t kill you either.
Remember, it’s CANNED pineapple (which is cooked); NOT fresh pineapple.
Then tell me how fast it works on your condition.
Cheer up, jagoan. No need to suffer any more.

thank you all. i love u so much. yeah john docs are just human who make mistakes. i am completely aware of that. but in my case i think that particular doc just wanted to squeeze our money out.
and uncle ewoon my mom almost killed me when she knew i took a medication from dr. ewoon. hi hi hi. for her pineapple and diarrhea won’t match. but it somehow helps. thank you
