After 3 weeks nursing a bad cough (which I thought was getting better much to the contrary of Jai and Shan's belief), it finally got worse. And to add the icing on the cake, I started having a mild sore throat and running nose. I knew where this was heading. Previous experiences have taught me dearly not to ignore it. It ALWAYS ends up with me running a high fever that can only be treated with a needle through the arm. Fuck. No way I'm gonna let that happen. So finally after weeks of having my ears bleed to my mum's nagging and my band mates' bitching, I finally paid the doctors a visit. A doctor, actually, and he's probably the least hairiest Bhaai I've met. Bald.
Baldy: So what's your problem?
Hairy: I've been having a bad cough for the past 2 weeks (BULLSHIT!!!) and it just got worst, plus I'm having a sore throat and a running nose.
Baldy: Are you feeling feverish?
Hairy: Well I was running a slight fever last night but it looks OK for now.
Baldy: Do you smoke?
Hairy: Heavily (and yes, this one liner was my real answer)
Baldy: There, THAT'S your problem.
Hairy: (As if I didn't know and needed a bald doctor to tell me about it) OK.
Baldy: I'm gonna put you on antibiotics and some phlegm pills and cough mixture, and you have to stop smoking for the next few days.
Hairy: Ok, I'll try my best.
After paying the bill I went back to the office and was about to get started with my medication, but wait....let me have my last stick first........
It's officially been 35 minutes since I had my last stick...
