20211220 : the test
I had gone for a check up today to the hospital. It was an endoscopy test. Tube with camera goes through the nostril, through the nasal cavity and down to view the throat, Vocal folds etc. Usual stuff. No fuss there. The fun started after. The doc suggested we do a "Barium swallow test" so as to confirm something before recommending next course of action. Instead of doing the whole exercise of going home, scheduling again and coming all the way again, it made a lot more sense to finish it off the same visit. Some checking and they confirmed we can be accommodated today. So we went to another floor another department. That place is a maze. We need Google maps to find our way anywhere. After getting there , they said it's a quick test. Except I needed a covid negative report. The option was going back or get their rapid test. Logic prevailed again. Except, we had to go to the emergency department for it. Different floor and some more playing in the maze. It took a while,
