Ourwalkabout.nl is a blog about the world trip Michiel de Wit and Judica Wondergem are making in 2010.

Today we started to get care in the Netherlands. At a quarter past 8, the appointment with the doctor test for MRSA and a referral. Upon arrival I was only to be helped by the co-assistant. The MRSA test was unfortunately not just a monster in his blood. No. .. the swab smears were three of my nose, throat and perineum had long go. After that was done was not to have passed da tap a referral needed.

All data were good in the computer is correct and here and there was consultation with the doctor (which I have not seen). There was felt to my lymph nodes and concluded that now on the other hand, my glands begin to swell. Then I was told that the MRSA test would be sent to the lab and that they would take contact with an internist. They then lay out what the symptoms are the internist and then decide how urgent it is that an appointment is made. Or ... it may still hesitate to take a week.

I feel extremely sick or not but all in all I am really miserable and the situation considerably Sat Michael wants me being helped, t we have finally come back for a reason. Conclusion, I was crying and Michael became angry. All very frustrating because it resolves the situation further.

The doctor looked through the mail in Dordrecht everything up action. A call to the assistant took care of the promise to be called back. Michiel has her explaining the situation and asked what we should do because we are crazy to sit and wait until someone wants to look at me sometime. They advised us to make an appointment in the Port Hospital. This hospital in the Netherlands is the most specialized in tropical diseases and until we know what it is but I prefer the broadest possible diagnositsche. Anyway, there we have an appointment Thursday at 10 am. So much good news.

Out of courtesy and so it is not worth having to do that we still call the doctor in Leusden. Michael explained to the assistant that we had an appointment at the Port Hospital to which the response was along the lines of ... if the other doctor advises that we need no more referral schrijven.De MRSA test is done at the earliest on Thursday.

Grrrrr ... so now we still need a referral to come from somewhere and hope Thursday that the test is finished so I can go to the hospital and not in quarantine in hospital for the appointment or the appointment must resist.

In between we have been to about 10 dealerships and I was completely exhausted. Eventually we bought a car, but not even the critical questions that accompany them. They approve MOT him and he is also ready by Thursday. It's a Mazda 626 from 1993. We'll see ...
