Another hospital Visit

This morning Marcus wanders into the kitchen dripping blood as he has a tendancy to do these days.  I was all for him just laying around for the day and relaxing.  However it was decided that I should take him back to the hospital for a warranty service.  A bag was packed and electronic gadgets collected and off we went.

The hospital computer knows all about us and that seemed to be a good thing because it appears they keep a room reserved for us.  A spritely young female doctor took a cursory look at Marcus and jabbed a needle in him to extract some blood.  I would have thought she could have held her collection bottles under his nose but that is not the proceedure.  She disappeared and we sat and dozed for a while.  Occasionally being awoken to verify that we hadn't died by having our blood pressure tested.  Finally at about 9:30am we were advised that we would be seen in ENT at 11am and that we could wait in the coffee shop.  Hmm I wonder if there is a kickback here.  Maybe coffee should be covered by medicare.  (Actually it is when you are an "in patient" but like most publicly funded things it is luke warm instant and in a styrofoam cub).

We arrive in the ENT area at about 10:45 and the doctor is paged and we get in early.  There is a bit of a delay while equipment is located but then we get right into it shoving very long things up his nose.   

Eventually the problem is located

Well actually we did not extract this through his nose, the doctor prescribed relaxation therapy to keep the blood pressure low.  So we dropped into the RSPCA on the way home.

I suspect that sibling rivalry will require 3 more to be acquired.  Anyone got a spare or one that needs looking after.  (cats that is :) )
