What helps on throat plague

[Ramo]

Leeches.

[Pekka]

thanks hopefully I feel better soon. Throat still hurts but I'm just too strong to step out. I'm battling this sucker. Trying to make me feel negative. No... I'll beat this one. I'm too strong for it.

[Pekka]

well I'm still too strong but definitely getting pissed off. No advancing what so ever. The same. Plus I'm feeling I might be getting a slight fever too. nothing bad, but still.

Anyway I checked out the drugstores near me, guess what... in this whole city, there is not a single drugstore open after 11PM.... hours between 2300-0800, is too bad hombre..

what the hell? I knew we were backwards commie country but no open drugstore even in big city? JEEsH!

[Pekka]

This gets better.. now I definitely feel fever is rising quite fast, so I think I better get some of them pills to knock me out, even though I'm too strong, I haven't had a good sleep since... almost 3 days now. Been sleeping in 5 minute turns, or I should say waking up when I swallow.

So.. first to figure out every drugstore simply is closed during these hours, period, I also found out the number of 'nurses help' from their pages (city and healthcare). I call that number, it's supposed to be 24/7. 'This number is not in use, please check the number'. x2. WTF?!?!? WHAT DO YOU M EAN THIS NUMBER IS NOT IN USE ANYMORE?!??!?! SO GIVE ME THE NEW ONE! WQHEre? NOWHERE? Phuck!

IDIOTS!

I'm glad this is free at least. I'd be really pissed off if I was actually paying for this.

So there's one ER open at this moment in the whole city, and it's only for emergency cases. So I should wait like through this night again, without sleep, with fever, I can't swallow, I haven't slept, I'm going nuts, wtf, I can't sleep but I reall ywant to just sleep, nothing is open, nowhere I can go to, this is a city for .... bomos sake.

That's right, after office hours, your on your own, citizen.. unless you get shot or stabbed that is. Everything in the middle? Too bad.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Go to the er pekka your throat is an emergency. Pain is an emergency

[Pekka]

No it's not that kind of emergency. I'll just .. make it through.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Well if you can make it through the night good but get to the dr in the am

[Pekka]

I can't get to a doc with this kind of problem that fast.. but I should be able to get to see a nurse. Welcome to Finland.

pekka you are seeing a nurse right now unfortunatly ther is nothing else i can do for ya but tell you what ur problem is chlorseptic a throat spray will numb your throat if you have that but u said the drug stores are closed how bout grocery store
If you have motrin or tylenol and can manage to swallow it take that for ur fever and pain

[Pekka]

I just searched all the 24/7 gas stations. We don't have grocery stores 24/7 here.. but some gas stations are, but they had nothing.

IN that trip the only thing that happened was cops making me stand outside, freezing myself and harrassing me. Nice day it has been. I needed that one so bad .

[Mrs. Tuberski]

so i saw not ur day it seems. Sorry to hear ur in a sucky way dude. Why cant u do an er in finland for a bacterial infection. If you get a high enough fever you can kill some brains cells and then be only as smart as BK . Just kidding ben Check your temp and if its over 104 u might need to visit that er for u can die if it gets higher

[Pekka]

I don't have anything to measure it with. It's not THAT high... if it was that high I'd be going already. Maybe I had some bacteria in my throat and now that I have fever, my body is finally fighting and throwing them out? Because for the first 2 days I didn't have fever. Now I do.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Well id more agree if you were a child but since your an adult its a bit different. Your are correct you are runnig a fever now to fight an infection but as an adult its worse then it is for a child. Its more dangerous for an adult cause the body is not as strong as that of a child. You as an adult have more toxins then the average child

[Pekka]

don't worry mrs tubes.. I'll be fine.. I don't even notice the fever because swallowing sucks so much, plus I'm still upset by the way police harrased me today.
