A simple sexual health check-up transformed into an unexpected medical odyssey when Dave's routine appointment revealed a dangerously high fever of 39.1°C. What followed was a week-long hospital adventure complete with memorable characters, questionable hospital food, and a surprising detour to the maternity ward.

When attentive Dr. Eva Jackson noticed Dave's concerning symptoms during his quarterly PrEP appointment, she made the crucial decision to send him directly to the emergency department rather than prescribing oral antibiotics. This decision potentially prevented a more serious outcome, as tests revealed Dave had both a urinary tract infection and kidney infection caused by E. coli bacteria.

The hospital stay introduced Dave and Matt to a colorful cast of characters – from the elderly woman who claimed to be "allergic to men" and later "allergic to cake," to the overtly flamboyant gay patient whose mother openly described him as "a pain in the ass" during visits. Each interaction provided much-needed comic relief during an otherwise stressful situation.

Beyond the amusing anecdotes lies a heartfelt appreciation for exceptional healthcare workers. Dr. Eva's extraordinary compassion – calling after hours to check on Dave and later visiting him in a different ward – stands in stark contrast to the systemic challenges facing Australia's healthcare system. As Dave recovers with a two-week antibiotic course and scheduled follow-up procedures, the experience serves as a reminder of how quickly health can deteriorate and the importance of attentive medical care.

(00:56):
Last week we came to you and wetold you all about our wrap up
of Mardi Gras and Fair Day andstuff like that.
We've had an interesting week,to say the least.
Dave, our plan right.
So we go to the sexual healthclinic every three months to get
our checks and get our prepscript and have chats with

(01:17):
doctors and stuff like that,don't we?
We do, indeed we do.
We're very responsible homos,even though we may not have been
as active sexually that wewould like to have been recent
times, but just haven't hadfucking time to fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Exactly, life has got in our way.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Life has got in our way, but we still, and we
probably were a little bitoverdue, but again because of
our lack of sexual activity, weweren't really that worried.
No, and since then we've beento the sexual health clinic.
It's been a week now, orbasically almost a week.
A week tomorrow, yeah, and we'vegot our clinic at Penrith

(01:52):
sexual health clinic.
They work on a system where nonews is good news kind of
situation, so I had to go andhave I think it was my final hep
vaccine Okay, heartless vaccineas well, because you're gonna
have two of those six monthsapart.
So so I did that, um, but tellus a little bit about your week,

(02:14):
dave.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
well, it's been a week from hell, as you know,
matt um.
So, as you said, monday was thestart of the week for us.
We're now here on sunday, thefollowing week or the same week.
Shall I say yeah, and basicallyI went with you to the sexual
health clinic on Monday evening,yep, and I presented there, not

(02:36):
feeling too well in myself asyou know you rang up to actually
cancel.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
You said to them I'm not feeling very well so I think
I'm going to cancel.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And they basically said no, come along, just come
along, it's fine.
So I'd had obviously beenfeeling slightly unwell the
previous days prior.
So from last Thursday onwards Iwas I should have said, a week.
Last Thursday was.
No, you hadn't been feelingyourself I hadn't been feeling
myself and basically, by thetime Sunday came, I was feeling

(03:08):
a lot worse for wear.
Monday morning I didn't feelwell at all.
Hence the reason why I chose tophone up and cancel my
appointment.
Yep, they said no, come along,don't worry, you know we'll just
do the test anyway.
So I went along with youbecause you were kind enough to
pick me up, because my carbasically was fucked.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
He had a bit of a shit of a day.
His car was fucked, and so Isaid all right, don't worry,
I'll come back.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's a brand new car that's had issues since day dot
and that's back in the garage atthe moment trying to get it
fixed again.
Don't buy yourself a GWM GreatWall.
No, don't have a Canon X,because they've got inherent
problems.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Piece of shit.
Sorry, not a piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a very nice car when it's working when it's
working, but when you take thecomputer system out and the
electrical system out andeverything, else, everything's
freaking corroded and shit likethat, but anyway so.
So, yeah, so we went along tothe clinic.
He picked me up, kindly,dropped my car off prior to that
because I had to that because Ihad to, and we went in.

(04:10):
You saw one doctor and I sawanother doctor.
Yep, and you were treated asper the script.
Yep, I, we started off with theswabs and everything else, got
those done and then the doctorthat was treating me, who was an
amazing doctor um, I won'tmention names, no, I mentioned
names.
Okay, she deserves props hername is Dr Eva Jackson and she
is amazing.
I've seen her many times whenI've been there.
She's spectacular.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I think.
I've seen her once and Ithought she was very good.
Great bedside manner Yep.
Really likeable doctor, Yep,yeah.
And we found out a bit moreabout her.
We found out that she'sactually a sexologist.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
A sexologist as well.
She treats women's problems andshe's the director of the
sexual health clinic departmentnow.
So she's been operating for 20years.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
So very knowledgeable , but she's above and beyond.
And when Dave told you thelittle story, yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
So basically she proceeded to do my observations
sorry, I'm not observing my, myswabs and stuff, yep.
And then she came back and shemade me do two urine sample,
because she's already asked mehow I was feeling because I'd
obviously going to cancel.
And she she said, okay, youknow what are your symptoms.
And I told her I had, you know,issues with my bladder and my
kidneys.
My kidneys have been sort oflike really hurting me all week
and I was struggling to go totoilet and, um, yeah so.

(05:26):
So she took my temperature andthen she said, oh, wow.
She said you know, you'rereally spiking high, high
temperature here.
So I was recording like 39.1temp wise, which pushes me into
pretty high pushes me into avery sort of like critical zone,
I suppose for for observationwise, yep.
So she said, look, I can giveyou some antibiotics because I'm

(05:48):
really worried about something.
She said I'm not going to carryon with the testings because
I'm not going to bother withthat, I just want to treat you
as a patient.
So she basically took my bloodpressures.
They were elevated as well, andnormal blood pressures are fine
.
And then, excuse me, she thendid some more um tests and she

(06:09):
checked the, the second sample,my urine, and it came up very
elevated with lots of whiteblood cells and proteins and
everything else that indicate aninfection of some sort.
Yep, um.
So she said, look, I can giveyou um a course of antibiotics.
I want you to start themstraight away rather than you're
going to see your gp, because Iwas due to see my gp the
following the next day.
Um, because I was due to have abrain scan on the tuesday to

(06:32):
check a problem with my eye.
Um, as I got a buildup of flubehind my retina on my right eye
.
So, um, I needed to have thekidney function under control
for that.
So she said, look, I'd rathergive you intravenous um
antibiotics rather than startyou on a course of, like oral
ones, because it'll get in yoursystem quicker.
So she said she wasdeliberating.

(06:55):
And she said, look, you know, Iwould rather send you to
hospital because it's an easieroption, you know, and I'd feel
better for myself sending youthere.
So I said, look, I'm happy todo whatever you believe is the
right path.
I mean, you're a doctor and Itrust you wholeheartedly, you
know so.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
So, with that she basically came out, like they
made their way out to thewaiting room where I was happily
sitting there watching hachiko,I think it is.
Which is like and if you wantto cry, I recommend this movie.
It's got um rich Gere and it'sabout a dog and you won't cry
where you think you're going tocry, but you will sob like a
fucking 12-year-old.
It's amazing.

(07:31):
But anyway, I was sitting inthe waiting room there and comes
out and Dr Eva says guess whereyou're going?
And I went well, it's a Mondaynight, presumably home to sleep.
And she said you're taking himstraight to the ED, right, the
emergency department.
Not erectile dysfunctiondepartment Not erectile
dysfunction department, whichwe've got some funny stories

(07:53):
that come from this hospitalvisit, but in a nutshell we
ended up being till.
Well, 2.30 in the morning, 2.30in the morning, yeah, we went
to the clinic at 6, 2.30 in themorning, 2.30 in the morning we
went to the clinic at 6 o'clockin the evening, yeah, and 2.30
in the morning.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Matt was still sat there, even though he had work
the next day.
Yeah, he was sat there with meand I am indebted and grateful
for that.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, but then look.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I fell asleep.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, he managed to get some sleep because they gave
him some bloody good endone, um.
So where's mine?
Um, but um, I basically satthere and I'm thinking what the
fuck is going on here?
No one's telling us anything.
I'd seen the nurses walk up todifferent patients and tell them
different things.
I'm thinking, nah, I can't dealwith this any longer.
So I got up and I just saidlook, can you tell me what's

(08:40):
happening with dave?
Right and and another nursecome around from behind the
counter running over to Davewith a piece of paper, and then
the other one says oh, I'mpretty sure they're going to
admit him.
And I'm thinking well, thatwould have been nice to know two
hours ago.
Maybe we could have still gotsome sleep ready for work and
that.
But hey, shit happens, that'swhat it is.

(09:02):
But so, yeah, they admittedDave to hospital.
He then proceeded to basicallystay in that.
I went home, got a little bitof sleep ready for my day of
work next day.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think it was until about 2 o'clock the following
afternoon.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
So I've pretty much been there for 18 hours prior to
them saying that there was abed available.
Yep, by that time you, youalmost finished work, weren't
you?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think I'd almost finished work, you know,
basically it was coming back up.
Yeah so they moved me to likewhat's called the short stay
section of the emergencydepartment so they had a bed
there so I had a big, a big signon the on the wall called ed
short stays.
So I'm me I'm still a 14 yearold boy and I'm sitting here and
I'm laughing, and I was talkingto my friend, dick on the phone

(09:50):
, who was telling me, tellinghim about Dave's plight, and I
said this stuff writes itself.
It's like an erectiledysfunction, short stays and I'm
thinking it could be a shortstay with an erectile
dysfunction.
Now, erectile dysfunction isn'tfunny, it's not, not funny.
It's not life-threatening, it'sokay, people, but it was.

(10:11):
It was quite amusing, um, forus at that point in time with
sleep, sleep deprivation andthings like that as well.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Um, so you got to stay there for a while, yeah I
was looked after by some greatnurses, some cool nurses, some
really really good nurses.
Yeah, um, and so a big shoutout to the uh nepean hospital.
Um yeah, they're great yeah, Imean, it's not their fault that
you know you're celebrating it'sjust the government don't fund

(10:38):
them properly.
They don't look after, theydon't provide them enough staff
members, so they do what theycan.
So you can't take it out on thestaff members.
No, no, but saying that whilewe're in the uh, that that night
, while we're waiting, there wasa few special people there, oh,
there was a look.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I love my western suburbs of sydney, I really do,
but there's a whole lot offucking crazy out here and it's
probably no different than theeastern suburbs or anywhere else
, or anywhere I suppose.
But there was all tons of crazy.
And so, look we got.
When we were actually initiallywaiting in the outside area,
before we got admitted into theinside area, there was one lady

(11:18):
that come in and they knew shewas actually a regular and she
was shouting things.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Schizophrenic, yep.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And swearing at people and telling them she
wasn't waiting to be upset,observed, and she wasn't.
This and she wasn't.
She'd have a song.
She liked singing, didn't she?
No, no, no, this was, that wasa different lady.
Oh, okay, yeah, um, but thatwas when you were later inside
that one.
But, um, we'll talk about thatone in a second.
Definitely, but this one wasgoing a bit bonkers and security
all came and they're allbecause they, they knew her,

(11:45):
they knew her very well.
Um, she'd been a repetitive.
They said she's been theregenerally on average three times
a week, um, doing similar sortof antics and stuff like that.
Um, that's why we say drugs arebad kids, um, and, yeah, please
don't do them, because you endup being.
Oh, look, it was sad after itstopped being amusing, but it

(12:06):
was amusing at first and gave us, I guess, something to pass the
time.
So it was like an episode ofCrazy Doctors, maybe, or
something like that.
You know how those come toNepean Hospital and all that
kind of stuff.
But, yeah, so while you wereaway, I'd gone home, right, so
you were stuck in the emergencyroom sitting there and you had a

(12:26):
lady that sang a song.
What was that song, dave?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, she was singing like, oh my Donald had a farm,
sort of version.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'd sing it to him.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
So she was singing.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Go on.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I can't.
I'm trying to think.
Yeah, she was singing.
Oh, my Donald had a farm, hehad a c?
E-i-e-i-o and on his farm hehad a cunt You're a cunt, you're
a cunt, you're a cunt.
And then she turned to hercharacter and said You're one
too, like that.
And obviously you sit in thewaiting rooms and you try not to
laugh because it's in you know,you can tell she's a bit of a

(12:58):
loop, yeah, and you don't knowwhere she's.
Yeah, and look, I mean it's alllike sticks in your brain
because you are half asleep andyou're trying to get yourself
comfortable on those chairswhich aren't comfortable and
then when someone comes andstarts outbursting, you can't
help but sort of like secretlysmile inside.
Yeah, I mean, I know that theperson has got schizophrenia and

(13:20):
I know it's a very, you know,hard thing to.
Yeah, it's very sad.
I mean a lot of it's brought onby not taking the medications.
That's the problem.
My sister's a nurse that worksin that department and she said
they're always there.
And she said the hard thing is,you know, we can't neglect them
and never do.
They have to treat them withall the respect they have.
But it's hard because they getabused, they get attacked.

(13:41):
They have they get abused, theyget attacked.
They have to sort of like tryand make sure the other patients
are protected as well.
Um, security are good there.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Um, they held her down a few times in the corridor
, or she was screaming about herarm being broken or saying she
can't breathe.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
They can't breathe, and I heard the one saying well,
if you shut that up, you willbe able to fucking breathe so
there's a lot of humor going onand they've got to be.
You know they are respectful tothe patient and they don't sort
of like um cause any injury oranything like that.
But it's hard when you'retrying to constrain someone that
is screaming and yelling andkicking and fighting and biting

(14:15):
and doing whatever else they'redoing so you got out.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
You got out of the, you're getting discharged from
the ad.
Short stays right, yeah, andyou're going to a ward yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
So they said we're going to take you to a ward, but
obviously again within the pnhospital.
Um, it's all falling apart atthe moment.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Well, it's just as I know.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
They've actually built new wings, but they're 10
years behind.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
But, as I said, you know they can't cope with it but
they are fairly new wings, um,all right from a hospital sort
of stage and that, but they justcan't cope with the amount of
people that we've actually gotmoving through the area and all
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
But also they had an issue on certain levels with the
emergency buttons.
Yeah, the emergency buttons sothey happened to have them
redone.
So all departments that weredownstairs and now happen to
move upstairs to where the emptyareas are.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Excuse me, yeah, now having to move upstairs to where
the empty areas are?
Excuse me, yeah.
And so in doing that, they'vemoved like the whole.
They haven't moved the ward,they've just moved the ward
number.
So instead of being groundfloor, which might be the letter
g, a block bed 13 or somethinglike that, the GA13 has now Been

(15:24):
moved up to Like the east wing,but they haven't changed every
Patient's thing, they've justgiven, moved the whole thing up
to G18.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
So it's like they've pulled the floor out and stuck
it up the top.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Instead, they're about to move all the beds, the
chairs, so they were moving Davefrom his ED short stays Up to
the ward that he was staying in.
Now, when we were gettingpushed along, young, orderly,
she came along and she'sbasically started driving the
bed and she's gone.
We went to get into one liftand she says I'm going to here.

(15:58):
And they said, oh no, no,that's over there.
So we went a differentdirection and then she said this
over this way, so we're going adifferent direction.
And then she said it's overthis way.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
She said it's over this way.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
So we're going a different direction.
But then we were going throughthese big double doors and I
look up and I found out thatDave was pregnant Because I was
going to the maternity ward.
He was going to the maternityward Because that's where she
believed they had assigned us,so yeah.
So I sort of said I need to takea photo of this, because it was
just quite amusing.
So I'll post that photo up whenwe post this episode, because

(16:29):
that's pretty much the only onewe've taken while we're in
hospital.
And so we took him to thematernity ward.
Excuse me, it turns out hewasn't there, thankfully,
because when we did walk inthrough those doors there was
someone screaming the house down, yeah so screaming their bloody
lungs out, and they weren'tactually in labor.
I don't think it was something,probably it's probably the

(16:50):
father of my child yeah,probably the father of his child
screaming because he's foundout that dave's pregnant and
wants alimony, um, ormaintenance as we call it here
in australia.
Um, so then you got to yourward, right, and you had like a
couple of hot doctors yeah, sowe gave them some aliases.
I gave them some aliases, soI've got um dr hot pants, yep,

(17:12):
and you had Nurse Nobdibla.
There was a couple there, acouple of sexy redhead doctors.
Yeah, they always go down totreat with us.
Yep.
And then you had Nurse CoxonCoxin.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Coxin, coxin, cox on.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Cox on yeah, yeah, yeah, you had quite a few of
those, yeah, but you had someinteresting patients in next to
you because you're in your ownroom yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
So where I was initially put was like opposite
the um, the, the main stationwhere the nurses operate from.
So they got all the paperworkand the documentation, yep, so I
was classified in that area asum someone that I would have a
fall or high risk, you know,observation.
But that was just a bedallocation I was given.
I wasn't under any of thosesort of like requirements.

(18:01):
So I've been put thereovernight, um, because the space
was free.
And let me say that the littleold lady that was next to me,
who again I think had somemental disabilities, um,
apparently I think yeah, mentalyeah, mental issues.

(18:22):
Should I say yeah, so her um,her home, was being um modified.
As far as I can, I'm aware fromwhat the conversations were,
because dave loves this now youcan't help but hear people's
conversations because you're inan open ward and you know you're
not trying to be pride onpeople's um personal space.
But you know, you heareverything the speak and the
town the sound of everybody elsetalking.

(18:42):
You can't not hear theconversation because it's just
too open anyway so she was shedied.
She was diabetic as well and shewas like you know how you.
You know she was not being ableto sort of like give straight
answers to the nurses because,again, her mental dialect.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
She sounded pretty sharp to me it was really funny
anyway.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
So the first that night they were going through
they were doing her obs and thenthey said, oh, what's your?
Name you need to give them yourname so they can correlate your
information to their charts andtheir medication.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
So they asked her name, they asked the date of of
birth and she sort of gave thatinformation correctly then they
asked her for any allergies, andwhat did she answer, dave?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
and the first one she came up with was she said I'm
allergic to men.
And then I was laying in bed.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I was like giggling he was having a good giggle to
himself at this place I don't, Idon't they, they just stopped.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You could hear that the nurses was all like kind of
chuckling to themselves as well.
They had a bit of fun I thinkshe said, I think they replied
oh yeah, all men can be that waysometimes their life card days
and that was funny you know, thenext morning.
The next morning, the same samelady, different nurses this time
.
Um, they're obviously checkingfor her diabetes levels and
stuff like that.

(19:55):
So again they asked her for herdetails and then they said can
you give me what?
What are you alerted to?
And then she said cake cakeagain.
I just fell about laughing.
Yeah, it's just obviously whatwas going for her brain.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I don't know so she, she was quite fun, she would,
she sounded like she was quitefun anyway.
Then you got moved into ashared room yeah, with four
other guys.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
yep, um, I was the second, the third one to be
taken in there, so two guys werealready in there, um, and then
I got moved, and then anotherguy got moved, um, just after me
, yep, so I was put next to thewindow, which is good, quite,
quite nice, but there was oneguy in there, for I can't

(20:40):
remember.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
It doesn't matter who he was in there for yeah, yeah,
the creepy old guy you mean.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
No, no, there was another creepy old guy.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
He was very creepy.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
He was wearing the gowns, so he obviously had no
underwear or anything else onand he was laying on the bed,
and I mean obviously.
He was fully covered up 90% ofthe time yeah, under the
blankets and stuff like that.
And when the nurse came in,yeah, and he then decided that
he was going to pull back thesheets or the blankets that
would cover him Yep, and theninsist on moving up the bed.

(21:13):
Instead of moving to the sideand getting out, as most people
would do, he decided to shufflehimself up towards her, which
was then obviously pushing uphis gown and exposing, because
he has his legs wide apart as hewas pushing himself up, so he's
moving his ass across the bed,yeah, obviously then exposing
his full genitalia for everybodyto see yeah, and the nurse
would have just gone.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Whatever, it's just another one.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
I've seen hundreds of them but you could tell by his
demeanour and, yeah, he wasdefinitely very, very perverted,
or very much so he was alsoasking for two nicotine patches.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Not one but two.
He wanted two nicotine patchesbecause he was a smoker and he
can't cope with it and yeah.
So he was a bit troublesome.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
He was a bit of a pain in the ass to the nurses
yeah, and he was very demandingon them, very needy, very need
everything he you know he couldthink of.
He would ask him and you knowjust stupid questions that
didn't need to be asked, youknow.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
But yeah, so um, so so that one he was a creepy
patient.
Then you had the um, the littlequeer boy next to you who was
very over the top.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
He was extremely.
I mean, we're all in the LGBTcommunity.
Yeah, we're part of thecommunity.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
But he was next level .

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, he was a princess.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
He was a princess and he was being a princess, but he
had mummy and daddy come in.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
What Did he have?
Mummy and daddy?
Mummy and daddy came in onenight, okay, but we thought his
name.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
We thought well, this is the thing is.
When we heard a name, andbecause of how overtly
homosexual he was, we assumedthat name was his.
Turns out, it was his dad'sname.
What was the name, dave?
It was Steve.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
The gayest name on the planet.
And we looked at each other andwe just pierced ourselves
laughing.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
We thought of course his name is Steve, but then we
found out his dad's name wasSteve, and we're going oh my God
, it's hereditary.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Maybe his dad's gay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
So yeah, but he was nice.
He wasn't obnoxious, steve orthe little gay boy he wasn't
obnoxious to the rest.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, no, no, he was harmless, but he was just very
over the top.
He was.
No, no, no, he was harmless, buthe was just very over the top
and he was lovely and his momtold him he was a pain in the
ass, basically yeah, because shewas there visiting and she was
having to do some work and shewas telling people on the phone
you know he's got adhd and he's,but he, you know, I think he
was 26, 20, 25, 26, I can'tremember, yeah.
But yeah, she was basicallymaking out he was just a

(23:31):
nightmare to live with andeverything else you know so.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
So so they, um they, they tried to do a couple of
things to you, didn't they tryto give you a couple of things
that probably shouldn't havebeen given to you?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
yeah, well, I first of all they off.
They gave they were going togive me that, that some blood
thinner, blood thinner, and Ihad.
And I said what's that for?
And they said, well, we don'tknow.
Basically.
So she said you don't have totake it, you don't want to, and
I'm well, if you don't know I'mhaving it, then I'm kind of
don't want it.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, yeah so.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
But later on I did find out from my sister and
subsequently, the day after, Idid accept it because, um,
because it's mainly for peoplethat are in bed bound for a
while.
They, they just want to makesure that you don't develop
blood clots, as I found out.
But she couldn't give me thatanswer there.
And then yeah, yeah, and so forme it was like no, I've got to
turn this down.
Matt's having a phone calltoday.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
No, no, no no.
No phone call at all.
It was just Brittany actuallysending a message in our chat.
Okay, I was looked up and quiteimpressed that you managed to
silence everything.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah well there you go.
But yeah, that was veryimpressive, Pretty prepped on.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, but you can almost guarantee it's like
clockwork as soon as we do apodcast.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
She comes alive.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yep, yep, brittany will send something over to us,
Yep.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, so.
And then the second one wasthey tried to give me, you tried
to give you nicotine patches.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, nicotine patches.
They wanted Dave to startsmoking while he was in the
hospital.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
She said oh, I've got your patches here for you.
And I said what patches?
She goes, your nicotine patches.
I said I've never smoked in mylife, never.
And she says oh, so you don'twant them.
Then I said well, I guess, well, I never ordered them.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I don't think so.
So, speaking of ordering things, you did order some breakfast,
oh God, yeah, well, no, itwasn't amazing.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
No.
So because I hadn't ordered thebreakfast on that first day, I
messaged you and sent you apicture and said guess what I'm
having for breakfast, didn't I?
Yes, you did, and I had.
What did I have?
Can you remember?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, no, I didn't even need to remember because I
wrote it down here.
Okay, they gave you cornflakeswith milk and orange juice and a
piece of bread with no butterbut with salt and pepper and hot
water for tea.
That's right.
When you were sending me amessage, I kind of went what the
fuck?
I said put the salt and pepperon your cornflakes.

(25:44):
I said see how you go right.
And he's gone.
I won't be doing that right,but yeah, so it was a bit of an
odd concoction there.
But then when you did ordersomething, they, they again.
You ordered toast, yeah, butthey gave you um bread, bread
and I.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I had a bit of an epiphany and they kept on
offering me baked beans orscrambled eggs and I was like,
okay, I'll have scrambled eggswith weeder beans this time.
Yeah, and toast.
And then no toast came, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
But I had an epiphany when I was talking to you about
that and I realised that toastis like bread is just raw toast.
Underdone toast, reallyunderdone.
Uncooked toast, uncooked toast.
So it's just raw toast.
Basically, bread is raw toast.
So that's what you got.
You got raw toast.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
I took it a raw deal.
Yeah, basically, bread is rawtoast, so that's what you got.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
You got raw toast.
I took it a raw deal.
Yeah, you got a raw dealbecause your dinner wasn't great
either was it?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Oh no, you know, hospital food is hit or miss.
Sometimes I've been inhospitals and I've had some
really good food.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
But this time around?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
not at all.
It wasn't great food, but youknow I can't complain at the end
of the day.
But Look, you finished up inhospital on Friday afternoon,
yeah, so I ended up being inthere for literally the whole
week.
He's going to live.
Yeah, I'm going to live.
I'm not going to have a baby,unfortunately.
They did try and deliver me one, but that never happened.
Wouldn't come out, no.
But long story short, Ibasically ended up having a

(27:12):
urinary tract infection, whichobviously then led to a kidney
infection.
Yep, so they were treating twoinfections simultaneously, hence
reason why my temperaturespikes are high.
Yeah, they managed to bring itdown with the oral antibiotics
sorry, with the intravenousantibiotics and fluids.
Constantly I was like my armsfeel like they've just been

(27:33):
stabbed right, yeah stabbed todeath, you know, I mean because
they couldn't.
Eventually they were trying toput another cannula in, because
I had to take the first one out,because they'd been in for like
three days and they don't likedoing longer than that.
And then they couldn't findanywhere to get blood from my
arm.
My blood was just not givingany more blood anywhere, you
know, it just wasn't.
So they tried about five, sixtimes on one arm and then three

(27:55):
or four times another arm.
Eventually they put it in myhand because it was just easier
for them to do that way, um,less comfortable, for obviously
reasons, um, hence reason whythey're doing your your elbow,
not your elbow, your, um, youryour arm, your arm, yeah, um, so
, yeah, so, um, the urology teamI'm very grateful for.
Oh they're awesome, you know.

(28:16):
But also going back to Dr Eva.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
So while we were in the ED department that night, I
got a phone call a couple ofhours later.
Yeah, it was a few hours.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
It was after her hours were finished, well, and
truly, after her job was, signoff was being required and it
was like like hey, just wantedto check on dave, see how he's
going right.
So I was kind of reallyimpressed by that, because I
thought to myself that's fuckingabove and beyond, yeah, and

(28:48):
that's great like I in my timeI've never had a doctor ring
after their job.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Um for anyone, right, and my ex, she's not my gp,
she's just.
She's just a doctor that we seea follow-up, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
And I thought to myself I wonder if she has a GP
practice somewhere, because I'dgo and visit her based on that
alone.
Right yeah, Because she wasjust really good.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
But then A few days later, so literally on the
Thursday.
I was discharged on a FridayThursday about, I know I think
it was late morning, sort oflike lunchtime is um.
The curtain opened and I lookedacross and then Dr Eva was
there she was, obviously she wason duty, but she'd actually
come across from her own wardarea, yep, to come and check to

(29:27):
see how I was, and she said youknow?
she said I didn't think you'd behere now.
And I said no, for the life.
She goes well, you're obviouslyin a good place.
Yeah, so I was just blown awaywith the fact that she, of all
people you know, came across aswell, um, to see me because I'd
had a few visitors.
Yourself and other people cameand visited me so, but I was not
expecting that at all so thatmade me quite made me very

(29:49):
emotional, because it showedjust how raw, you know, human
beings can be towards each otherempathy and, you know, respect
it was.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
It was amazing, and that's it.
So, like to say that it wasblown my mind.
I was just like, hang on, likeshe gets paid to do a job.
She did that job.
Yeah, she was well and trulydid above her call when she
basically said, no, he's goingto the hospital.
Yeah, right, um, because shecould have just happily sent you
home and said yeah, he's notfeeling.
Well, go, start you off shecould have just sent you home

(30:22):
and said well, you've come herefor this right this is what I'm
giving you, for if you're notfeeling well, go and see your gp
, right.
But she didn't do any of that.
She really.
So talk about care, like yeah,and and that's where it comes
down to the care factor and shegenuinely cares about what she
does.
Obviously, definitely.
But then to actually go out ofher way to call me, then to come

(30:42):
and visit you a couple of dayslater, like that's just beyond
so.
Like she deserves huge props,like if there was a doctor of
the year award or a nominationor something like that, I'd put
her up for it because she wasfucking like it's fantastic.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
And everyone at the clinic isamazing, like we said at the
beginning.
But like we love our girls atthe clinic, they're great.

(31:04):
Yeah, like the lady that wetalk to about the cruises, all
the time, the nurses, the nurses, they're awesome, but that was
just well and truly a bluff.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, definitely, but look.
So basically I'm feeling a lotbetter in myself.
I feel a bit tired, a littlebit weak still, but I'll gain my
strength back over the nextcouple of days.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Give me lots to eat.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
So still on antibiotics for the next two
weeks, and then after that I'vegot to go and have an ultrasound
on my abdominal regions, yep,and then following that, i've've
got like a small little surgeryprocedure to have a camera
inserted into my bladder to justcheck to make sure that
everything's working okay downthere and I haven't got any

(31:48):
underlying issues such as likecancers or something like that.
And the good thing is the teamnow has then made this going
forward into a yearly inspectionfor me.
Yeah, so, um for me.
Again, I'm grateful for that,um, and you know, from having
you know just a what and I what,I in term, to be just not
feeling very well, to beinglooked after so well, yeah, um,

(32:11):
but also they did say, because Iasked them what the actual
diagnosis was, and they saidthat they do believe it was E
coli bacteria that foundthemselves in the thing and he
said it was highly probable fromfood poisoning.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, potentially.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
So we don't know where that came from or we can't
specify.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
No, no, no, we have some suspicions, but we're not
going to mention where and how?

Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, because we can't guarantee or prove that, so
that's just gonna give him adefinitive it was, but yeah but
look, I mean, you know, just bemindful that you know, if you
ask, if you do get symptoms.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
If you're feeling cool, yeah yourself to the
doctors or get yourself down tothe sexual health clinic and get
an opinion, they'll look afteryou, well and truly so yeah, you
do have to book a couple ofweeks in advance, so I've just
basically got to get my carsorted now, matt um, and then
carry on with the reno's.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
I mean, so the reno's will come along really well
until that point.
Um, hopefully, if my builder isstill available for this week,
hopefully the inside will bepretty much completed, um, if
not, it'll be the following week.
After that, then all theinsides will be done, including
the um, the fit outs and stuffwith the bathrooms, kitchens etc
.
Etc.
Yeah, and then it's thenprogress on to the front of the

(33:18):
house, um, and then hopefullythe back will follow pretty soon
.
So I'm still hopeful that, ifall goes well, I should get the
renovation completed by the endof april, um, and then hopefully
get it back on the marketstraight away and then give
myself a bit of a break.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, um, for a couple of months, and while
you've been recovering yep,right just to touch on we've
been playing around with the newapp we have.
We've had some fun yesterdayand we've been creating a bit of
ai music, which I know a lot ofmy friends are definitely
anti-ai, um, especially my musiccreation friends.
Now we're not doing this.
We don't do the podcast to makeany money, because you can't

(33:54):
fucking make money from podcasts, and we're definitely not doing
this AI to make any moneyeither.
It's just fun.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's just entertainment for us, it's just
you and I just having.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
So we've created a few tracks, but what we'll
actually do is A few tracks Okay, a few hundred maybe but we've
created a couple that we've gotto pop onto the Fully Grown
Homos.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
So we've actually made a track for ourselves,
haven't we, Matt?
Yeah, we have.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
We made one as well, so we'll pop that up onto your
normal socials and Fully GrownHomos podcast.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
And eventually, once we've worked out how to get it
on, we can actually then play itas part of our segment as well.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, we'll play it around and we'll do some stuff
with it and all that kind of,but keep an ear out for it.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Um, because we've still got it.
We've still got to work out thenew format of the actual
podcast and stuff going on.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, we keep talking about this new format I know,
but we have to sit down.
We've sat down anyway, let's nottalk about it until we can.
Actually, we'll just do it oneday and we'll surprise you guys
with something new, but in themeantime you'll enjoy our every
day, every other kind of fuckingthing that comes up, and we'll
talk about it like fun, as pernormal, um.
But if you do have anysuggestions or any questions
that you would like to ask rightoh, if they'd be of a sexual

(35:06):
health kind of nature oranything at all you want to know
