Despite hospitals offering a vital service to the world, they are still traumatic places to be. I don't know why they exhaust me so much - is it the waiting around? Is it the smell? Who knows.
Having spent the afternoon in hospital, I can now say that I am thoroughly exhausted. I would really just like to be better and to not feel like I have a burning stomach most of the time, but alas this is not a realistic outcome. Last night was horrendous; abdominal pains that don't go away no matter what position you lie in? Check. Pain that wakes you up every time you manage to fall asleep again? Check.
My trip to hospital this afternoon did highlight to me what an amazing job doctors do - particularly junior doctors (massive shoutout to Pete). The patience and care that I was given today along with the positivity that all of the staff had there towards their job was inspirational, and I hope that that persists.
