Late Nights with.... the doctor......

I was just reading up lots of sites on how to stop a cold & sore throat before it gets to the coughing stage....

and then i saw some symptoms that you should be aware of.. and if they happen to you, you should go see a doctor.

for the symptoms for children (i just read it cauz i was curious), one of them said,

ear pain.

I remember when i was younger that i would have ear pain in the middle of the night. it would wake me up from my sleep, and if it got really bad i would then go and wake my parents up. Twice this happened in my childhood, and they had to take me to the hospital in my pjs. I remember the process being very quick, and i just had to wait a bit for the doctors to get their medicine (probably antibiotics or something) to give me.  I remember that during one of these trips, I was given a bed to lie in while waiting for the doctor. I was in a room with rows of beds that were separated with curtains. On the bed next to me, there was a woman giving birth. Now, I would have thought they do this in a seperate room.. but it was a while ago, so maybe things have changed since then. so i was freaked out. the lady kept screaming and crying and i felt so bad for her but i was also screaming too.

what's the point? i dont know. i just remembered my ear pain experiences...
