Emergency room again

さてさて、39度近くの熱が10日間も続くのはどう考えても変だなと思い、重い腰をあげて、病院にまた行ってきました。ドクタは、あたしの症状を聞いて、わからない、あなた風邪の症状が全くなくて、高熱だけなんて。とにかく検査します。とのこと。インフルエンザじゃなかったのね・・・（笑）。
10本ぐらい血液を取られて、尿検査して、いろいろやった結果、あなたは、なんたらinfection（感染症）です、と言われました。何やら、悪い雑菌が体内に入っちゃって、高熱を出してるみたいです。それを殺すお薬を飲まないといけません。女の人には多いそうです。って、あたし、聞いたこともないし、初めてなんですけど・・・。
で、処方箋をもらって終了。うちに帰ったら熱は39度超えてましたけど、解熱剤を飲んだら37度に。こっちの解熱剤ってほんとよくきくなぁ。
日本だったら、すぐに病院行くんですけど、アメリカにいても、ちょっとおかしいと思ったら病院に行かなければいけませんね。次のトレイニーの人も面倒くさがらずに病院に行きましょ～。ちなみに、私の行っているArlington hospital center (1701 N. George Mason Drive Arlington, VA 22205, tel:703-558-6167)は、うちからタクシーで７ドルくらいで、超近いし、ドクターもみんな親切です。

Well, it is obviously strange that I have a high fever of about 102.2F for ten days. So, I bestirred myself and went to an emergency room at Arlington hospital center. When I told the doctor about my symptoms, she said she didn’t understand because I don’t have any cold symptoms and I just have a high fever for ten days, so you should be checked. Well, I didn’t have flu…
They took from me about ten bottles of my blood, and performed urinalysis, then the doctor said I have a urinary tract infection. I don’t know about this disease. I heard that some kind of bad bacteria entered to my body, and gives me a high fever. So I should take antibiotics to recover the infection. The doctor said this kind of infection was very common to women. But I don’t know such a disease and I have ever had the infection.
Then, they gave me a prescription of med. When I went home, me temperature was over 103F, but after I took antipyretics, me fever went down to under 100F. I recommend antipyretics of US. It works very strongly.
When I was in Japan, I went to the hospital quickly. But even if you are in the US, you should go to the hospital quickly when you feel something strange. I hope the next trainee will go to the hospital soon without thinking it is troublesome. FYI, it takes five minutes (seven dollars) by taxi to Arlington hospital center (1701 N. George Mason Drive Arlington, VA 22205, tel:703-558-6167) where I usually go to. It is very near, and all doctors are very kind.
