Today had experience with emergency department in Ireland. Everything good, no worries. But will tell you about the experience in a bit

Daily 441st day streak

Good problem, feels very applicable in real world, and in real programming scenario.
No leetcode pattern though but pretty straight forward. I would recommend to remind yourself how to code.

So during yesterday's sparring I did very bad roll left under the hand of the guy, stand up too fast and my head got blocked by his chest/back while still standing up. I heard crack in the neck and pain there.

In the morning I decided to go to Emergency room, or just emergency to check whether it is alright, as I was afraid it can somehow damage spine brain. I decided to go private one Mater Private Network as I'm covered by insurance.

Their working hours are 8am-7pm. I arrived at 10am, filled the form of what has happened within 20 mins I was charged 250 eur for consultation. They got my card details so that they can charge me for whatever procedure needed + stay over night and I got to the room where nurse asked some basic questions of what has happened.

11:00 nurse has left for maybe 40 mins, and another doctor/nurse arrived, did a basic test for neurological issues (I didn't have any thanks to God), and left again with: "I will need to ask supervisor whether you need CT or no".

12:19 I was escorted for CT scan of the neck and back to waiting room with other patients.

15:14 got the result of CT scan. Doc told me it is nothing serious, but there was something that needs to be clarified with surgeon.

18:09 - I finally was called by the same doc, he said that surgeon told him I was alright, and no need to do anything. Just check in 2 weeks with that surgeon.

I still was not charged for CT scan and I will reimburse 250, however not whole price will be returned (will keep you updated)

Staff offered sandwiches, there was coffee and tea. Overall very nice and kind doctors, nurses, staff and people. Prob I was the most “slavic anger face” out there (still working on it)

Overall exp is okay except waiting for the doc’s green light. Apparently it is understaffed in private as well. But nothing to complain, they have oncall and I was low-mid prio ofc.

Conclusion:
Be careful with roll left during sparring, especially if you are taller than opponent. Now I need to skip boxing for at least 2 weeks.

Private Emergency room (in Mater Private Network at least) works nicely, they were able to root cause the issue in 8 hours for low/mid prio patient.

Proposed and brought painkillers - but I refused to take.
