it took the health centre 2 whole days to discover that I had mono. During this time, my uvula had swelled up to the size of a grape and there were other forms of general unpleasantness. I believe that in my dehydrated and in-pained state, I said to the urgent care admitting person "I need urgent care.... urgently". And I meant this in a totally non-ironic way; that was what words my brain decided to string together.
What disappointed me more was that before they realized what it was that I had, that they recommended things like gargling with salt water and eating lots of chicken soup. It's 2011... those are still on the cutting-edge of medical technology? We have lasers for your eyes... you'd think that we could have something a little more complicated and high-tech for sore throats than water and salt.
