很不舒服了還要在英國看醫生好不安，到底該怎麼敘述病情

一、先想好怎麼敘述自己症狀

得說現在因為 Covid-19 的關係，不管你再怎麼虛弱，還是只能一個人進去；
我上次是被扶進去的但沒有到意識模糊，醫院還是只准我一個人進去。

所以在看診前努力的想好該怎麼描述自己症狀吧，
我知道你很不舒服，但是撐一下! 說清楚醫生才能幫你治療，
如果真的沒辦法講話可以用手機打下來給醫生看。
也記得把常備藥物帶著，畢竟醫生開的藥和你使用的藥可能有交互影響，

也要有心理準備可能不像在台灣，
在英國 walk-in 除非嚴重症狀不然會等了三四小時以上，
預約 GP 可能預約不到近期的，
只能說在國外生病，真的需要很強很強的意志力。
