Time for my second.
Today was my appointment with Professor of Neurology, Yang-Jae Cho. Would I get any answers?....
Here's how the conversation went, as soon as I sat down...
Pf. Cho: "Dooly Lion? May I call you Dooly, or Mr. Lion?"
Me: "Um...either one works"
Pf. Cho: "Okay, Mr. Lion. Your test results came back negative. There is nothing more we can do for you. Have a nice day."
Me: "What the hell? Are you serious? I came all this way for you to tell me that? I clearly have something going on medically. If you can't figure it out, you need to send me to someone who will."
Pf. Cho: "I see you did not take an EEG. You take that, then come back and see me next week."
So, this tiny nurse comes in and takes me to another room. I lie on the bed and she begins attaching wires to my head. This seems like a bad time to realize that I really have to pee...
After getting all of the wires attached, she says "This will take 30 minutes. Go to sleep." then turns out the lights and sits at the computer.
I really had to pee.
So, I'm lying there with my eyes closed...holding my pee in with all I've got. After about 20 minutes, the door opens...2 doctors and the professor enter the room. They are all huddled around the screen, talking loudly for having a "sleeping" patient in the room.
About 5 minutes go by...doctors leaving and entering the room...then the nurse "wakes me up."
She says "Open your eyes."
I do.
She then immediately says "Close your eyes"
I do.
As I close my eyes...I am attacked by strobe lights...directly in my face. Intense-ass strobe lights.
A few minutes of that goes by...and she tells me to open my eyes again.
I do.
Then immediately tells me to close them again.
Okay...fine.
After going back and forth with this for a few minutes, she turns the lights on and tells me to sit up. She pulls all of the wires off of my head and says "You go wash hair, then pay."
I didn't realize that they had stuck goop all over my head to attach the wires. If only I had my phone on me for that picture opportunity.
I was then guided into a restroom...complete with a hair washing sink like you see at the salon, right next to a dirty-ass toilet.
I sat there for a second...confused. Wondering how exactly am I going to wash my hair in this sink by myself without getting water EVERYWHERE. I poked my head out, looking to see if there was anyone coming to wash it for me...or at least give me a towel or 2 for the mess I was about to make.
I eventually got a towel and locked the door.
First, I tried to sit in the chair and lean back to rest my head on the sink. That didn't work. This chair was made for midgets. I smacked my head on the sink. Hard.
After I finally got situated in the chair to the point that my head was resting where it needed to be...I realized that I couldn't reach the nozzle. Son of a bitch.
So, I stood up...looked at the sink...and cursed it. I decided the only way to do this was to lean over the sink...and make a massive mess.
And I did.
Water everywhere.
After finally getting that crap out of my hair, I went to the counter and paid...then I went to McDonald's to drown my sadness in fat. I got the Shanghai Spice Chicken Sandwich. Yes please! That shit was good.
Anyway...I have to go back on Monday morning to talk to the Professor about my EEG results. Whatever he says...I will be returning to that McDonald's...and not washing my hair in that sink.
I'm hoping for some answers...but I doubt I will get any. That's how this works. I give them my money...then they torture me and send me home sad and confused.
