I have headaches, sore throat and a cold. \u00a0Yesterday I noticed some pus in my throat. So finally I decided to see a doctor.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The call<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The agency recommended to call\u00a0the\u00a0University Health Centre At Queens. So I called the hotline of the Health Centre. There you are able to make an appointment with a doctor. The lady asked some questions, that she can register me in their system. At the end, she asked about my mobile number. I &#8217;spelt&#8216; my number. Afterwards she noticed that this is a German mobile number. She didn&#8217;t accept this number, because I they need an UK number. So I should go to the reception of the Health Centre to register there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go to Health Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Health Centre is located on the opposite of the Queen&#8217;s University. After a walk of 15 min. I arrived the Centre. I asked the receptionist for a registration. She gave me three sheets of paper for the registration. They asked me so many questions like &#8218;Did you ever live in England\/Wales\/Scotland?&#8216; or &#8218;Which doctors did you visit in Scotland ?&#8216; and so on. Finally I had to wait until the doctor is calling my name. I think there were seven other people in the waiting room. So I thought I have to wait at least 45 min. After ten min. the doctor called my name. I think I had a priority status, maybe because I am from Germany \ud83d\ude00 . Just a joke, but the other peoples waited a longer time than me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A kind women named Dr. Fair called my name. She was very friendly and started a small talk about the internship and where I am from etc. After that she looked into my throat. This took only five sec. I think. Than she told me about the medicine, when and how I should take the Penicillin. I&#8217;ve asked about a sick note for work and she asked me how long I want to stay home. I was confused, because my doctor in Germany wouldn&#8217;t ask me this question. So I think one week would be enough time for cure this illness. By the way, she diagnosed &#8218;Tonsillitis&#8216;. After the visit, I went to a pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the pharmacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She wrote two medicines down on the prescription. Once the Penicilline and Chlorhexidine to gurgle. I thought this would be very expensive. I gave the prescription the pharmacist. In Germany you will get your medicine after a couple of seconds. There I had to wait about five minutes. The pharmacists checked and boxed the &#8218;order&#8216;. They opened every medicine to check the completeness and the expiry date. Than they called my name and I wondered: Nobody gave me a receipt. It seems you get your medicine for free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope I will \u00a0get better soon.<br \/>\nSee you the next days!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey readers, as I mentioned in my articles before, I am not feeling well since one week.
