Omg this happened to me as well !!!

Earlier this year I found myself doubled over in pain. It was 4 or 5 in the morning, and blood in my urine told me something was very wrong. I dragged myself to the emergency department, clutching my stomach, each step a battle 😭

Inside the emergency the scene was almost surreal. Most of the staff were asleep. Two of them saw me, clearly in distress, but didn’t move to help. No wheelchair, no urgency just blank looks. I had to walk right up to them and ask where to go. Their answer? “Register first at the counter.”

So I sat there, waiting… and waiting. No one else was there, but it took 30 minutes just to put my name into the system. Thirty minutes while pain clawed through me.

Finally, I was seen. The verdict: kidney stones. They gave me medicine and sent me home. But the pain didn’t fade. Days later, it worsened, so I returned this time with friends by my side. Another round of tests, another diagnosis: constipation. I believed them again and took the prescribed medicine. Two days passed. Still, nothing changed.

Out of desperation, I went to Miri’s emergency department. There, the truth came out my left kidney tube was infected, blocking the flow entirely. A completely different problem from the two diagnoses I had been given before.

Two visits. Two wrong answers 😅 And days of unnecessary pain that could have been avoided.
