Emergency Departments, Erectile Dysfunction, and Raw Toast
A simple sexual health check-up transformed into an unexpected medical odyssey when Dave's routine appointment revealed a dangerously high fever of 39.1°C. What followed was a week-long hospital adventure complete with memorable characters, questionable hospital food, and a surprising detour to the maternity ward.
When attentive Dr. Eva Jackson noticed Dave's concerning symptoms during his quarterly PrEP appointment, she made the crucial decision to send him directly to the emergency department rather than prescribing oral antibiotics. This decision potentially prevented a more serious outcome, as tests revealed Dave had both a urinary tract infection and kidney infection caused by E. coli bacteria.
The hospital stay introduced Dave and Matt to a colorful cast of characters – from the elderly woman who claimed to be "allergic to men" and later "allergic to cake," to the overtly flamboyant gay patient whose mother openly described him as "a pain in the ass" during visits. Each interaction provided much-needed comic relief during an otherwise stressful situation.
Beyond the amusing anecdotes lies a heartfelt appreciation for exceptional healthcare workers. Dr. Eva's extraordinary compassion – calling after hours to check on Dave and later visiting him in a different ward – stands in stark contrast to the systemic challenges facing Australia's healthcare system. As Dave recovers with a two-week antibiotic course and scheduled follow-up procedures, the experience serves as a reminder of how quickly health can deteriorate and the importance of attentive medical care.

Speaker 1:Fully Grown Homos with Dave and Matt. Last week we came to you and we told you all about our wrap up of Mardi Gras and Fair Day and stuff like that. We've had an interesting week, to say the least. Dave, our plan right. So we go to the sexual health clinic every three months to get our checks and get our prep script and have chats with doctors and stuff like that, don't we? We do, indeed we do. We're very responsible homos, even though we may not have been as active sexually that we would like to have been recent times, but just haven't had fucking time to fuck.
Speaker 2:Exactly, life has got in our way.
Speaker 1:Life has got in our way, but we still, and we probably were a little bit overdue, but again because of our lack of sexual activity, we weren't really that worried. No, and since then we've been to the sexual health clinic. It's been a week now, or basically almost a week.
Speaker 1:A week tomorrow, yeah, and we've got our clinic at Penrith sexual health clinic. They work on a system where no news is good news kind of situation, so I had to go and have I think it was my final hep vaccine Okay, heartless vaccine as well, because you're gonna have two of those six months apart. So so I did that, um, but tell us a little bit about your week, dave.
Speaker 2:well, it's been a week from hell, as you know, matt um. So, as you said, monday was the start of the week for us. We're now here on sunday, the following week or the same week. Shall I say yeah, and basically I went with you to the sexual health clinic on Monday evening, yep, and I presented there, not feeling too well in myself as you know you rang up to actually cancel.
Speaker 1:You said to them I'm not feeling very well so I think I'm going to cancel.
Speaker 2:And they basically said no, come along, just come along, it's fine. So I'd had obviously been feeling slightly unwell the previous days prior. So from last Thursday onwards I was I should have said, a week. Last Thursday was.
Speaker 2:No, you hadn't been feeling yourself I hadn't been feeling myself and basically, by the time Sunday came, I was feeling a lot worse for wear. Monday morning I didn't feel well at all. Hence the reason why I chose to phone up and cancel my appointment. Yep, they said no, come along, don't worry, you know we'll just do the test anyway. So I went along with you because you were kind enough to pick me up, because my car basically was fucked.
Speaker 1:He had a bit of a shit of a day. His car was fucked, and so I said all right, don't worry, I'll come back.
Speaker 2:It's a brand new car that's had issues since day dot and that's back in the garage at the moment trying to get it fixed again. Don't buy yourself a GWM Great Wall. No, don't have a Canon X, because they've got inherent problems.
Speaker 1:Piece of shit. Sorry, not a piece of shit.
Speaker 2:It's a very nice car when it's working when it's working, but when you take the computer system out and the electrical system out and everything, else, everything's freaking corroded and shit like that, but anyway so.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, so we went along to the clinic. He picked me up, kindly, dropped my car off prior to that because I had to that because I had to, and we went in. You saw one doctor and I saw another doctor. Yep, and you were treated as per the script. Yep, I, we started off with the swabs and everything else, got those done and then the doctor that was treating me, who was an amazing doctor um, I won't mention names, no, I mentioned names.
Speaker 2:Okay, she deserves props her name is Dr Eva Jackson and she is amazing. I've seen her many times when I've been there. She's spectacular.
Speaker 1:I think. I've seen her once and I thought she was very good. Great bedside manner Yep. Really likeable doctor, Yep, yeah. And we found out a bit more about her. We found out that she's actually a sexologist.
Speaker 2:A sexologist as well. She treats women's problems and she's the director of the sexual health clinic department now. So she's been operating for 20 years.
Speaker 1:So very knowledgeable, but she's above and beyond. And when Dave told you the little story, yeah.
Speaker 2:So basically she proceeded to do my observations sorry, I'm not observing my, my swabs and stuff, yep. And then she came back and she made me do two urine sample, because she's already asked me how I was feeling because I'd obviously going to cancel. And she she said, okay, you know what are your symptoms. And I told her I had, you know, issues with my bladder and my kidneys. My kidneys have been sort of like really hurting me all week and I was struggling to go to toilet and, um, yeah so. So she took my temperature and then she said, oh, wow. She said you know, you're really spiking high, high temperature here.
Speaker 2:So I was recording like 39.1 temp wise, which pushes me into pretty high pushes me into a very sort of like critical zone, I suppose for for observation wise, yep. So she said, look, I can give you some antibiotics because I'm really worried about something. She said I'm not going to carry on with the testings because I'm not going to bother with that, I just want to treat you as a patient. So she basically took my blood pressures. They were elevated as well, and normal blood pressures are fine. And then, excuse me, she then did some more um tests and she checked the, the second sample, my urine, and it came up very elevated with lots of white blood cells and proteins and everything else that indicate an infection of some sort. Yep, um.
Speaker 2:So she said, look, I can give you um a course of antibiotics. I want you to start them straight away rather than you're going to see your gp, because I was due to see my gp the following the next day. Um, because I was due to have a brain scan on the tuesday to check a problem with my eye. Um, as I got a buildup of flu behind my retina on my right eye. So, um, I needed to have the kidney function under control for that. So she said, look, I'd rather give you intravenous um antibiotics rather than start you on a course of, like oral ones, because it'll get in your system quicker. So she said she was deliberating. And she said, look, you know, I would rather send you to hospital because it's an easier option, you know, and I'd feel better for myself sending you there. So I said, look, I'm happy to do whatever you believe is the right path. I mean, you're a doctor and I trust you wholeheartedly, you know so.
Speaker 1:So, with that she basically came out, like they made their way out to the waiting room where I was happily sitting there watching hachiko, I think it is. Which is like and if you want to cry, I recommend this movie. It's got um rich Gere and it's about a dog and you won't cry where you think you're going to cry, but you will sob like a fucking 12-year-old. It's amazing. But anyway, I was sitting in the waiting room there and comes out and Dr Eva says guess where you're going? And I went well, it's a Monday night, presumably home to sleep. And she said you're taking him straight to the ED, right, the emergency department.
Speaker 1:Not erectile dysfunction department Not erectile dysfunction department, which we've got some funny stories that come from this hospital visit, but in a nutshell we ended up being till. Well, 2.30 in the morning, 2.30 in the morning, yeah, we went to the clinic at 6, 2.30 in the morning, 2.30 in the morning we went to the clinic at 6 o'clock in the evening, yeah, and 2.30 in the morning.
Speaker 2:Matt was still sat there, even though he had work the next day. Yeah, he was sat there with me and I am indebted and grateful for that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then look.
Speaker 2:I fell asleep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he managed to get some sleep because they gave him some bloody good endone, um. So where's mine? Um, but um, I basically sat there and I'm thinking what the fuck is going on here? No one's telling us anything. I'd seen the nurses walk up to different patients and tell them different things. I'm thinking, nah, I can't deal with this any longer. So I got up and I just said look, can you tell me what's happening with dave? Right and and another nurse come around from behind the counter running over to Dave with a piece of paper, and then the other one says oh, I'm pretty sure they're going to admit him. And I'm thinking well, that would have been nice to know two hours ago. Maybe we could have still got some sleep ready for work and that. But hey, shit happens, that's what it is. But so, yeah, they admitted Dave to hospital. He then proceeded to basically stay in that. I went home, got a little bit of sleep ready for my day of work next day.
Speaker 2:I think it was until about 2 o'clock the following afternoon.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:So I've pretty much been there for 18 hours prior to them saying that there was a bed available. Yep, by that time you, you almost finished work, weren't you?
Speaker 1:I think I'd almost finished work, you know, basically it was coming back up.
Speaker 1:Yeah so they moved me to like what's called the short stay section of the emergency department so they had a bed there so I had a big, a big sign on the on the wall called ed short stays. So I'm me I'm still a 14 year old boy and I'm sitting here and I'm laughing, and I was talking to my friend, dick on the phone, who was telling me, telling him about Dave's plight, and I said this stuff writes itself. It's like an erectile dysfunction, short stays and I'm thinking it could be a short stay with an erectile dysfunction. Now, erectile dysfunction isn't funny, it's not, not funny.
Speaker 1:It's not life-threatening, it's okay, people, but it was. It was quite amusing, um, for us at that point in time with sleep, sleep deprivation and things like that as well.
Speaker 2:Um, so you got to stay there for a while, yeah I was looked after by some great nurses, some cool nurses, some really really good nurses. Yeah, um, and so a big shout out to the uh nepean hospital. Um yeah, they're great yeah, I mean, it's not their fault that you know you're celebrating it's just the government don't fund them properly.
Speaker 2:They don't look after, they don't provide them enough staff members, so they do what they can. So you can't take it out on the staff members. No, no, but saying that while we're in the uh, that that night, while we're waiting, there was a few special people there, oh, there was a look.
Speaker 1:I love my western suburbs of sydney, I really do, but there's a whole lot of fucking crazy out here and it's probably no different than the eastern suburbs or anywhere else, or anywhere I suppose. But there was all tons of crazy. And so, look we got. When we were actually initially waiting in the outside area, before we got admitted into the inside area, there was one lady that come in and they knew she was actually a regular and she was shouting things.
Speaker 2:Schizophrenic, yep.
Speaker 1:And swearing at people and telling them she wasn't waiting to be upset, observed, and she wasn't. This and she wasn't. She'd have a song. She liked singing, didn't she? No, no, no, this was, that was a different lady. Oh, okay, yeah, um, but that was when you were later inside that one. But, um, we'll talk about that one in a second.
Speaker 1:Definitely, but this one was going a bit bonkers and security all came and they're all because they, they knew her, they knew her very well. Um, she'd been a repetitive. They said she's been there generally on average three times a week, um, doing similar sort of antics and stuff like that. Um, that's why we say drugs are bad kids, um, and, yeah, please don't do them, because you end up being. Oh, look, it was sad after it stopped being amusing, but it was amusing at first and gave us, I guess, something to pass the time. So it was like an episode of Crazy Doctors, maybe, or something like that. You know how those come to Nepean Hospital and all that kind of stuff. But, yeah, so while you were away, I'd gone home, right, so you were stuck in the emergency room sitting there and you had a lady that sang a song. What was that song, dave?
Speaker 2:Well, she was singing like, oh my Donald had a farm, sort of version.
Speaker 1:I'd sing it to him.
Speaker 2:So she was singing.
Speaker 1:Go on.
Speaker 2:I can't. I'm trying to think. Yeah, she was singing. Oh, my Donald had a farm, he had a c? E-i-e-i-o and on his farm he had a cunt You're a cunt, you're a cunt, you're a cunt. And then she turned to her character and said You're one too, like that. And obviously you sit in the waiting rooms and you try not to laugh because it's in you know, you can tell she's a bit of a loop, yeah, and you don't know where she's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and look, I mean it's all like sticks in your brain because you are half asleep and you're trying to get yourself comfortable on those chairs which aren't comfortable and then when someone comes and starts outbursting, you can't help but sort of like secretly smile inside. Yeah, I mean, I know that the person has got schizophrenia and I know it's a very, you know, hard thing to. Yeah, it's very sad. I mean a lot of it's brought on by not taking the medications. That's the problem.
Speaker 2:My sister's a nurse that works in that department and she said they're always there. And she said the hard thing is, you know, we can't neglect them and never do. They have to treat them with all the respect they have. But it's hard because they get abused, they get attacked. They have they get abused, they get attacked. They have to sort of like try and make sure the other patients are protected as well. Um, security are good there.
Speaker 3:Um, they held her down a few times in the corridor, or she was screaming about her arm being broken or saying she can't breathe.
Speaker 2:They can't breathe, and I heard the one saying well, if you shut that up, you will be able to fucking breathe so there's a lot of humor going on and they've got to be. You know they are respectful to the patient and they don't sort of like um cause any injury or anything like that. But it's hard when you're trying to constrain someone that is screaming and yelling and kicking and fighting and biting and doing whatever else they're doing so you got out.
Speaker 1:You got out of the, you're getting discharged from the ad. Short stays right, yeah, and you're going to a ward yeah.
Speaker 2:So they said we're going to take you to a ward, but obviously again within the pn hospital. Um, it's all falling apart at the moment.
Speaker 1:Well, it's just as I know.
Speaker 2:They've actually built new wings, but they're 10 years behind.
Speaker 1:But, as I said, you know they can't cope with it but they are fairly new wings, um, all right from a hospital sort of stage and that, but they just can't cope with the amount of people that we've actually got moving through the area and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:But also they had an issue on certain levels with the emergency buttons. Yeah, the emergency buttons so they happened to have them redone. So all departments that were downstairs and now happen to move upstairs to where the empty areas are.
Speaker 1:Excuse me, yeah, now having to move upstairs to where the empty areas are? Excuse me, yeah. And so in doing that, they've moved like the whole. They haven't moved the ward, they've just moved the ward number. So instead of being ground floor, which might be the letter g, a block bed 13 or something like that, the GA13 has now Been moved up to Like the east wing, but they haven't changed every Patient's thing, they've just given, moved the whole thing up to G18.
Speaker 2:So it's like they've pulled the floor out and stuck it up the top.
Speaker 1:Instead, they're about to move all the beds, the chairs, so they were moving Dave from his ED short stays Up to the ward that he was staying in. Now, when we were getting pushed along, young, orderly, she came along and she's basically started driving the bed and she's gone. We went to get into one lift and she says I'm going to here. And they said, oh no, no, that's over there. So we went a different direction and then she said this over this way, so we're going a different direction. And then she said it's over this way.
Speaker 2:She said it's over this way.
Speaker 1:So we're going a different direction. But then we were going through these big double doors and I look up and I found out that Dave was pregnant Because I was going to the maternity ward. He was going to the maternity ward Because that's where she believed they had assigned us, so yeah.
Speaker 1:So I sort of said I need to take a photo of this, because it was just quite amusing. So I'll post that photo up when we post this episode, because that's pretty much the only one we've taken while we're in hospital. And so we took him to the maternity ward. Excuse me, it turns out he wasn't there, thankfully, because when we did walk in through those doors there was someone screaming the house down, yeah so screaming their bloody lungs out, and they weren't actually in labor.
Speaker 1:I don't think it was something, probably it's probably the father of my child yeah, probably the father of his child screaming because he's found out that dave's pregnant and wants alimony, um, or maintenance as we call it here in australia. Um, so then you got to your ward, right, and you had like a couple of hot doctors yeah, so we gave them some aliases. I gave them some aliases, so I've got um dr hot pants, yep, and you had Nurse Nobdibla. There was a couple there, a couple of sexy redhead doctors. Yeah, they always go down to treat with us.
Speaker 1:Yep. And then you had Nurse Coxon Coxin.
Speaker 2:Coxin, coxin, cox on.
Speaker 1:Cox on yeah, yeah, yeah, you had quite a few of those, yeah, but you had some interesting patients in next to you because you're in your own room yeah.
Speaker 2:So where I was initially put was like opposite the um, the, the main station where the nurses operate from. So they got all the paperwork and the documentation, yep, so I was classified in that area as um someone that I would have a fall or high risk, you know, observation. But that was just a bed allocation I was given. I wasn't under any of those sort of like requirements. So I've been put there overnight, um, because the space was free. And let me say that the little old lady that was next to me, who again I think had some mental disabilities, um, apparently I think yeah, mental yeah, mental issues.
Speaker 2:Should I say yeah, so her um, her home, was being um modified. As far as I can, I'm aware from what the conversations were, because dave loves this now you can't help but hear people's conversations because you're in an open ward and you know you're not trying to be pride on people's um personal space. But you know, you hear everything the speak and the town the sound of everybody else talking. You can't not hear the conversation because it's just too open anyway so she was she died.
Speaker 2:She was diabetic as well and she was like you know how you. You know she was not being able to sort of like give straight answers to the nurses because, again, her mental dialect.
Speaker 1:She sounded pretty sharp to me it was really funny anyway.
Speaker 2:So the first that night they were going through they were doing her obs and then they said, oh, what's your? Name you need to give them your name so they can correlate your information to their charts and their medication.
Speaker 1:So they asked her name, they asked the date of of birth and she sort of gave that information correctly then they asked her for any allergies, and what did she answer, dave?
Speaker 2:and the first one she came up with was she said I'm allergic to men. And then I was laying in bed.
Speaker 1:I was like giggling he was having a good giggle to himself at this place I don't, I don't they, they just stopped.
Speaker 2:You could hear that the nurses was all like kind of chuckling to themselves as well. They had a bit of fun I think she said, I think they replied oh yeah, all men can be that way sometimes their life card days and that was funny you know, the next morning.
Speaker 2:The next morning, the same same lady, different nurses this time. Um, they're obviously checking for her diabetes levels and stuff like that. So again they asked her for her details and then they said can you give me what? What are you alerted to? And then she said cake cake again. I just fell about laughing. Yeah, it's just obviously what was going for her brain.
Speaker 1:I don't know so she, she was quite fun, she would, she sounded like she was quite fun anyway. Then you got moved into a shared room yeah, with four other guys.
Speaker 2:yep, um, I was the second, the third one to be taken in there, so two guys were already in there, um, and then I got moved, and then another guy got moved, um, just after me, yep, so I was put next to the window, which is good, quite, quite nice, but there was one guy in there, for I can't remember.
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter who he was in there for yeah, yeah, the creepy old guy you mean.
Speaker 2:No, no, there was another creepy old guy.
Speaker 1:He was very creepy.
Speaker 2:He was wearing the gowns, so he obviously had no underwear or anything else on and he was laying on the bed, and I mean obviously.
Speaker 2:He was fully covered up 90% of the time yeah, under the blankets and stuff like that. And when the nurse came in, yeah, and he then decided that he was going to pull back the sheets or the blankets that would cover him Yep, and then insist on moving up the bed. Instead of moving to the side and getting out, as most people would do, he decided to shuffle himself up towards her, which was then obviously pushing up his gown and exposing, because he has his legs wide apart as he was pushing himself up, so he's moving his ass across the bed, yeah, obviously then exposing his full genitalia for everybody to see yeah, and the nurse would have just gone.
Speaker 1:Whatever, it's just another one.
Speaker 2:I've seen hundreds of them but you could tell by his demeanour and, yeah, he was definitely very, very perverted, or very much so he was also asking for two nicotine patches.
Speaker 1:Not one but two. He wanted two nicotine patches because he was a smoker and he can't cope with it and yeah. So he was a bit troublesome.
Speaker 2:He was a bit of a pain in the ass to the nurses yeah, and he was very demanding on them, very needy, very need everything he you know he could think of. He would ask him and you know just stupid questions that didn't need to be asked, you know.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so um, so so that one he was a creepy patient. Then you had the um, the little queer boy next to you who was very over the top.
Speaker 2:He was extremely. I mean, we're all in the LGBT community. Yeah, we're part of the community.
Speaker 1:But he was next level.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was a princess.
Speaker 1:He was a princess and he was being a princess, but he had mummy and daddy come in.
Speaker 2:What Did he have? Mummy and daddy? Mummy and daddy came in one night, okay, but we thought his name.
Speaker 1:We thought well, this is the thing is. When we heard a name, and because of how overtly homosexual he was, we assumed that name was his. Turns out, it was his dad's name. What was the name, dave? It was Steve.
Speaker 2:The gayest name on the planet. And we looked at each other and we just pierced ourselves laughing.
Speaker 1:We thought of course his name is Steve, but then we found out his dad's name was Steve, and we're going oh my God, it's hereditary.
Speaker 2:Maybe his dad's gay, yeah.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but he was nice. He wasn't obnoxious, steve or the little gay boy he wasn't obnoxious to the rest.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, he was harmless, but he was just very over the top. He was.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, he was harmless, but he was just very over the top and he was lovely and his mom told him he was a pain in the ass, basically yeah, because she was there visiting and she was having to do some work and she was telling people on the phone you know he's got adhd and he's, but he, you know, I think he was 26, 20, 25, 26, I can't remember, yeah. But yeah, she was basically making out he was just a nightmare to live with and everything else you know so.
Speaker 1:So so they, um they, they tried to do a couple of things to you, didn't they try to give you a couple of things that probably shouldn't have been given to you?
Speaker 2:yeah, well, I first of all they off. They gave they were going to give me that, that some blood thinner, blood thinner, and I had. And I said what's that for? And they said, well, we don't know. Basically. So she said you don't have to take it, you don't want to, and I'm well, if you don't know I'm having it, then I'm kind of don't want it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 2:But later on I did find out from my sister and subsequently, the day after, I did accept it because, um, because it's mainly for people that are in bed bound for a while. They, they just want to make sure that you don't develop blood clots, as I found out. But she couldn't give me that answer there. And then yeah, yeah, and so for me it was like no, I've got to turn this down. Matt's having a phone call today.
Speaker 1:No, no, no no. No phone call at all. It was just Brittany actually sending a message in our chat. Okay, I was looked up and quite impressed that you managed to silence everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah well there you go. But yeah, that was very impressive, Pretty prepped on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you can almost guarantee it's like clockwork as soon as we do a podcast.
Speaker 2:She comes alive.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep, brittany will send something over to us, Yep.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so. And then the second one was they tried to give me, you tried to give you nicotine patches.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nicotine patches. They wanted Dave to start smoking while he was in the hospital.
Speaker 2:She said oh, I've got your patches here for you. And I said what patches? She goes, your nicotine patches. I said I've never smoked in my life, never. And she says oh, so you don't want them. Then I said well, I guess, well, I never ordered them.
Speaker 1:I don't think so. So, speaking of ordering things, you did order some breakfast, oh God, yeah, well, no, it wasn't amazing.
Speaker 2:No. So because I hadn't ordered the breakfast on that first day, I messaged you and sent you a picture and said guess what I'm having for breakfast, didn't I? Yes, you did, and I had. What did I have? Can you remember?
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I didn't even need to remember because I wrote it down here. Okay, they gave you cornflakes with milk and orange juice and a piece of bread with no butter but with salt and pepper and hot water for tea. That's right. When you were sending me a message, I kind of went what the fuck? I said put the salt and pepper on your cornflakes. I said see how you go right.
Speaker 1:And he's gone. I won't be doing that right, but yeah, so it was a bit of an odd concoction there. But then when you did order something, they, they again. You ordered toast, yeah, but they gave you um bread, bread and I.
Speaker 2:I had a bit of an epiphany and they kept on offering me baked beans or scrambled eggs and I was like, okay, I'll have scrambled eggs with weeder beans this time. Yeah, and toast. And then no toast came, yeah.
Speaker 1:But I had an epiphany when I was talking to you about that and I realised that toast is like bread is just raw toast. Underdone toast, really underdone. Uncooked toast, uncooked toast. So it's just raw toast. Basically, bread is raw toast. So that's what you got. You got raw toast.
Speaker 2:I took it a raw deal. Yeah, basically, bread is raw toast, so that's what you got.
Speaker 1:You got raw toast. I took it a raw deal. Yeah, you got a raw deal because your dinner wasn't great either was it?
Speaker 2:Oh no, you know, hospital food is hit or miss. Sometimes I've been in hospitals and I've had some really good food.
Speaker 1:But this time around?
Speaker 2:not at all. It wasn't great food, but you know I can't complain at the end of the day.
Speaker 2:But Look, you finished up in hospital on Friday afternoon, yeah, so I ended up being in there for literally the whole week. He's going to live. Yeah, I'm going to live. I'm not going to have a baby, unfortunately. They did try and deliver me one, but that never happened. Wouldn't come out, no. But long story short, I basically ended up having a urinary tract infection, which obviously then led to a kidney infection. Yep, so they were treating two infections simultaneously, hence reason why my temperature spikes are high. Yeah, they managed to bring it down with the oral antibiotics sorry, with the intravenous antibiotics and fluids. Constantly I was like my arms feel like they've just been stabbed right, yeah stabbed to death, you know, I mean because they couldn't.
Speaker 2:Eventually they were trying to put another cannula in, because I had to take the first one out, because they'd been in for like three days and they don't like doing longer than that. And then they couldn't find anywhere to get blood from my arm. My blood was just not giving any more blood anywhere, you know, it just wasn't. So they tried about five, six times on one arm and then three or four times another arm. Eventually they put it in my hand because it was just easier for them to do that way, um, less comfortable, for obviously reasons, um, hence reason why they're doing your your elbow, not your elbow, your, um, your your arm, your arm, yeah, um, so, yeah, so, um, the urology team I'm very grateful for. Oh they're awesome, you know.
Speaker 2:But also going back to Dr Eva.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So while we were in the ED department that night, I got a phone call a couple of hours later. Yeah, it was a few hours.
Speaker 1:It was after her hours were finished, well, and truly, after her job was, sign off was being required and it was like like hey, just wanted to check on dave, see how he's going right. So I was kind of really impressed by that, because I thought to myself that's fucking above and beyond, yeah, and that's great like I in my time I've never had a doctor ring after their job.
Speaker 2:Um for anyone, right, and my ex, she's not my gp, she's just. She's just a doctor that we see a follow-up, right, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I thought to myself I wonder if she has a GP practice somewhere, because I'd go and visit her based on that alone. Right yeah, Because she was just really good.
Speaker 2:But then A few days later, so literally on the Thursday. I was discharged on a Friday Thursday about, I know I think it was late morning, sort of like lunchtime is um. The curtain opened and I looked across and then Dr Eva was there she was, obviously she was on duty, but she'd actually come across from her own ward area, yep, to come and check to see how I was, and she said you know?
Speaker 2:she said I didn't think you'd be here now. And I said no, for the life. She goes well, you're obviously in a good place. Yeah, so I was just blown away with the fact that she, of all people you know, came across as well, um, to see me because I'd had a few visitors.
Speaker 2:Yourself and other people came and visited me so, but I was not expecting that at all so that made me quite made me very emotional, because it showed just how raw, you know, human beings can be towards each other empathy and, you know, respect it was.
Speaker 1:It was amazing, and that's it. So, like to say that it was blown my mind. I was just like, hang on, like she gets paid to do a job. She did that job. Yeah, she was well and truly did above her call when she basically said, no, he's going to the hospital. Yeah, right, um, because she could have just happily sent you home and said yeah, he's not feeling.
Speaker 1:Well, go, start you off she could have just sent you home and said well, you've come here for this right this is what I'm giving you, for if you're not feeling well, go and see your gp, right.
Speaker 1:But she didn't do any of that. She really. So talk about care, like yeah, and and that's where it comes down to the care factor and she genuinely cares about what she does. Obviously, definitely. But then to actually go out of her way to call me, then to come and visit you a couple of days later, like that's just beyond so. Like she deserves huge props, like if there was a doctor of the year award or a nomination or something like that, I'd put her up for it because she was fucking like it's fantastic. Yeah, definitely, definitely. And everyone at the clinic is amazing, like we said at the beginning. But like we love our girls at the clinic, they're great. Yeah, like the lady that we talk to about the cruises, all the time, the nurses, the nurses, they're awesome, but that was just well and truly a bluff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely, but look. So basically I'm feeling a lot better in myself. I feel a bit tired, a little bit weak still, but I'll gain my strength back over the next couple of days.
Speaker 1:Give me lots to eat.
Speaker 2:So still on antibiotics for the next two weeks, and then after that I've got to go and have an ultrasound on my abdominal regions, yep, and then following that, i've've got like a small little surgery procedure to have a camera inserted into my bladder to just check to make sure that everything's working okay down there and I haven't got any underlying issues such as like cancers or something like that. And the good thing is the team now has then made this going forward into a yearly inspection for me. Yeah, so, um for me. Again, I'm grateful for that, um, and you know, from having you know just a what and I what, I in term, to be just not feeling very well, to being looked after so well, yeah, um, but also they did say, because I asked them what the actual diagnosis was, and they said that they do believe it was E coli bacteria that found themselves in the thing and he said it was highly probable from food poisoning.
Speaker 1:Yeah, potentially.
Speaker 2:So we don't know where that came from or we can't specify.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, we have some suspicions, but we're not going to mention where and how?
Speaker 2:No, because we can't guarantee or prove that, so that's just gonna give him a definitive it was, but yeah but look, I mean, you know, just be mindful that you know, if you ask, if you do get symptoms.
Speaker 1:If you're feeling cool, yeah yourself to the doctors or get yourself down to the sexual health clinic and get an opinion, they'll look after you, well and truly so yeah, you do have to book a couple of weeks in advance, so I've just basically got to get my car sorted now, matt um, and then carry on with the reno's.
Speaker 2:I mean, so the reno's will come along really well until that point. Um, hopefully, if my builder is still available for this week, hopefully the inside will be pretty much completed, um, if not, it'll be the following week. After that, then all the insides will be done, including the um, the fit outs and stuff with the bathrooms, kitchens etc. Etc. Yeah, and then it's then progress on to the front of the house, um, and then hopefully the back will follow pretty soon. So I'm still hopeful that, if all goes well, I should get the renovation completed by the end of april, um, and then hopefully get it back on the market straight away and then give myself a bit of a break.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, for a couple of months, and while you've been recovering yep, right just to touch on we've been playing around with the new app we have. We've had some fun yesterday and we've been creating a bit of ai music, which I know a lot of my friends are definitely anti-ai, um, especially my music creation friends. Now we're not doing this. We don't do the podcast to make any money, because you can't fucking make money from podcasts, and we're definitely not doing this AI to make any money either. It's just fun.
Speaker 2:It's just entertainment for us, it's just you and I just having.
Speaker 1:So we've created a few tracks, but what we'll actually do is A few tracks Okay, a few hundred maybe but we've created a couple that we've got to pop onto the Fully Grown Homos.
Speaker 2:So we've actually made a track for ourselves, haven't we, Matt? Yeah, we have.
Speaker 1:We made one as well, so we'll pop that up onto your normal socials and Fully Grown Homos podcast.
Speaker 2:And eventually, once we've worked out how to get it on, we can actually then play it as part of our segment as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll play it around and we'll do some stuff with it and all that kind of, but keep an ear out for it.
Speaker 2:Um, because we've still got it. We've still got to work out the new format of the actual podcast and stuff going on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we keep talking about this new format I know, but we have to sit down.
Speaker 1:We've sat down anyway, let's not talk about it until we can. Actually, we'll just do it one day and we'll surprise you guys with something new, but in the meantime you'll enjoy our every day, every other kind of fucking thing that comes up, and we'll talk about it like fun, as per normal, um. But if you do have any suggestions or any questions that you would like to ask right oh, if they'd be of a sexual health kind of nature or anything at all you want to know, um.
