After 18 or 21yrs. old, Find a Family Doctor

If you don't already have one that is...

Remember my other post about me fainting at work? Well, the next day I went to visit my "Clinque de Jeunes" (Clinic for the youth). Apparently they kicked me out and told me to go to my family doctor. I was like, I don't have one. And they said, you're an adult, go find one! So I went to the nearest walk-in adult clinic. I asked for a list of doctors in my area, and they said, no. We can only do that if you have a doctor, and we give you the list for your doctor to check and refer you to another doctor.

Whoa, I think I just went in a circle with these people.
Both of those clinics were just a 10 minute walk from my house. Now I have to travel 40 minutes by car to see this really nice doctor who speaks English!SmileyCentral.com

Anyway, I guess the best way to search for a Family Doctor or a GP (General Practitioners) is to ask the right people, search in the yellow pages or the Internet. I was lucky, I have a family member who works in the medical field, and they searched for the family doctor for me...

What To Do If A Co-Worker Faints

I love my peeps at work. So, I guess I won't be leaving anytime soon!

Just before my 3:00pm break I fainted.
Yeah, fainting... is kinda embarrassing, but what can you do (other than fall, lol)?

I can't think of a logical explanation other than my emotions caused it.
I eat all 3 meals everyday, I've been exercising regularly for the past two weeks. Guys n'Gals, I have no idea why I would do that?! Someone at work said maybe its depression?? But I've been feeling good lately... Whatever, I'll be going to my local clinic this afternoon.

Well, we all know I work in a factory. So, just imagine all these boxes and stacks of wood around me and my station. I was kinda angry yesterday and I did cry in the bathroom for 20mins. (Oh, so I guess I wasn't feeling all that great yesterday at work and it was that time of the month!...oops) I was working really fast because the first part of the morning I was working in the office, so I wanted to catch up with my orders. Well, when I finished my second order, I felt pain in my abdomen, closed my eyes and fell. I knew I was falling, but when I hit the ground, I was out for less than a minute I think. It didn't take long for my working peeps to come to my rescue. So, I'd like to congratulate them! I didn't hit my head hard but, apparently I was smacked in the face to wake me up. Oh, I had my headphones on listening to music. And the last song I was listening to was Lindsay Lohan's "I Live For The Day." So, when they were yelling at me, I couldn't hear them. But I did unplug my headset from the iPod, while a co-worker took the headset out of my ear. I was walked to the office where there's a couch so I just lay there until I thought I was ready to go home.

The End.

Thanks again you guys n'gals!
