We parted ways, me and my 2 monkey friends. I was walkin' to the bus interchange. I was quite late already, and I think dats the last bus. By the time I go to the MRT station, cfm no train dy. Then I passed a bush. And smthg jumped on me.
I felt its teeth sink into my flesh and wouldn't let go. I struggled. Pain shoot up from my arm to my neck. I tried to push it away, but it grabbed tighter. I pulled it by the neck with my left hand. And in desperation, I strangled it. I never thought I would EVER strangle a dog. It was a rather small dog. Small but ferocious dog. It became a little weak, and I dropped it.
Someone came to my aid, chased the dog away. He caught me just before I fell. Suddenly, I felt blood oozing out from my arm. I heard him say some artery or vein tore. He sat me by the kerb. I applied pressure. I saw a laceration, almost my entire arm length. I could see my radial and ulna. I held my arm tighter. The bleeding refused to stop.
I saw him dialling for the ambulance. What went through my mind was "Die. Im gg to hospital dy". And with this kind of a laceration, im definitely gonna go emergency op. I can imagine myself being put under General anasthesia, I can imagine myself being intubated. But what the hell, I just ate awhile ago leh.. Confirm aspirate laa like dat. I can imagine the pain post op. I can imagine a whole line of sutures. I can imagine the nurses and doctors reading my case notes. "Attacked by a stray dog"
Now my right arm is throbbin' like nothing. My left arm felt sore too, but not as bad I guess. I felt dizzy as my arms started havin' tingling sensations. I could still feel the blood flowing out. I feel cold. I saw double, blurry vision. That guy who helped me, and anader guy. That anader guy was wearing different. No, no.. I saw triple.. But there was anader 2 guys. What the hell, why so many guys when I damn unglam. Dat must be the paramedics. Who cares, as long as I dont die, I'm fine with it. They took my bag. They put me flat on something. I felt breathless. I dont know if someone bagged me, or gave me super high dose of oxygen. I was choking, but I couldn't speak. I was suffocating, so bad, I wish someone knock me out. I probably fainted, but I could still feel. Someone was inserting plug on my left hand. Someone was bandaging my right. The pain was radiating to I dont know where. I felt pain and numbness all over my body. I felt myself sweat. Cold sweat. I am afraid. I want to cry. Afraid of what will happen. Afraid of what will become of me. And shit, I'm on PM tomorrow. (What a time to think of this). Probably not so serious, I hope I wont lose my arms. Guess not, I've seen cases worst then this.
I heard the voice of the guy who saved me. Ohh. he is in the ambulance with me?! He damn nice, when I'm okay and back in the ward. I must find out who he is (: I heard the paramedic say.. "TTSH, resus, 19yro, female, attacked by dogaccording to friend, sustained lacerations, excessive bleeding, pt drowsy" Lolx. so that guy is my friend?! hahax, how come i din know. This felt like mass casualty come true.
And before I knew it. I was on the ward bed. My right arm like ba chiang. The staff nurse like familiar. The Assistant nurse also look familiar. The patient beside my bed, also look familiar. Oh well, its TTSH mah.. Environment of cos familiar la. But then again, the ward brother like familiar leh. I talked to him ytd wadd. OMG! it's my PRCP ward laa. 12D. O_o
*Feels damn real, Sounds damn real.* So real, I almost overslept. So real, I was worrying about replacing PRCP in my dream. Why am I always havin' weird dreams lately? -------->Gina O_o
