Poison by Food

My worst ordeal in my life happened on Monday 24th October. Was having my day off that day, having my mixed vegetable rice and then went to do my assignment. Feeling sleepy, I lie down and rest. After a while I was woken up by an acute pain in my stomach. The pain did not go away as I struggle to stand up. I thought by resting I will recover but it didn't. I called for help and Vincent send me to see doctor.

Doctor Chia gave me an injection on my buttock and some medication, telling me that I was having an acute food poisoning, by eating the medicine, it should be better and gave me two days medical certificate. Went back home feeling a little better. At night I vomited out the food that I ate in the afternoon. Thought after vomiting, I will be better.

Tuesday morning still feeling pain in the stomach and vomited again, Jerlyn's dad brought me to see doctor chuang aka doctor weird because of his character. Doctor chuang gave me another injection my my left arm and some medication too. Told me not to eat anything as I will surely vomit out and drink sugar water to replenish energy. The whole day I did not eat anything at all but I still vomited and having diarrhoea again at night.

Wednesday morning with Jerlyn beside me I feel more better. Diarrhoea become lesser but I did vomit again for the fourth time and the pain started to get unbearable and vomit for the fifth time. So Vincent and Jerlyn brought me to Singapore General Hospital Accident and Emergency department and seek help. Jerlyn and I was there for more than 5 hours, got my buttock hole poked by the female doctor, drew out my blood for test, did an X ray on my chest and stomach, gave me three injection in one go, making me dizzy, put me on drip of saline, and gave me biscuits and water to drink to see if I would vomit again. After that she let me discharge and gave me tons of medicine. I did not eat anything the whole day again beside the biscuits.

Thursday Jerlyn took a day off to take care of me, still feeling the pain in the stomach. But after all the pills taking, I can see I am getting better, the stools are getting less watery and I can move more freely. But the question was what causes me to have food poisoning? I think I know the answer now.

Today I still trying to recover from the food poisoning. my stomach is getting less painful and I hope I can recover by tomorrow. I had diarrhoea before but this is the worst I had ever encounter.
