A Meeting With Dr. Rudefellows.

Story Time: 

I've been battling a sore throat for 2 weeks now. The past few days it's got worse. It's swollen left side and hurts when I swallow. I was unable to seek gp help Thursday when I felt it was at its worst state and local pharmacies were no help either. 

I went to a pharmacy 10mins away and got seen quickly and the pharmacist was so lovely and down to earth. Making jokes aswell as sharing his own experiences. Unfortunately he didn't really know what is my issue but my left side glands are definitely swollen and he fast tracked me and appointment with my GP the next day. Thanks again Dr Chris. 

However, I still needed to call my GP to set it up. So today this morning 8am I was constantly ringing my gp and after 30 calls and 45mins trying I finally got through and had an appointment for 2:15 so I attended said appointment on time and the Dr who seen me, I'll be honest was absolutely terrible. 

Dr Amy (I think her name was) just couldn't wait to get me out of the room. She asked me to sit down and she checked my good side and said all was fine. She didn't bother checking my ear on left side smh. She asked me to relax my tongue so she can see down my throat and said I need to relax it more. I then asked her to check my glans because the pharmacist said he could see straight away how red and raised my left side was by my neck and jaw and Amy went to go check but she said "You should have trimmed your beard before coming, I can't see anything with this in the way" and I thought that's rude but I jokingly went with it and said "oh you should have asked me to do it before I came in" and she said "hmm yes well it feels a little hot and swollen" and then came the stick down the throat and no luck she didn't seem to know what the issue was just that I'd be prescribed some sort of penicillin. She said "if the smell of food or chewing food makes your glan swell more it's so dangerous and life threatening that you need to see A&E straight away."

Ok no worries will do doc and then when I asked her if she doesn't mind looking at another issue, this time it was my legs. I had asked if she have a quick look and see what she thinks and she sighed and said "make it quick" and so I did and she just said "I've no idea maybe your legs have swollen lymph nodes or you have a case of lymphoedema but I couldn't tell you for sure." She should have just said "Mr Jones, sorry I am unable to look into anything else other than your sore throat at the moment" rather than be rude and seemingly annoyed of my existence there. I hate Drs who only seem to be doing it for the money, those ones with no single care for their patients. 

In the end I walked away with a prescription and I'm taking it and see how we go. Hopefully I'll be better and good again by bank holiday Monday. 🤞

MORTAL KOMBAT 2 - MOVIE REVIEW (A NEAR FLAWLESS FATALITY)

Mortal Kombat II, directed by Simon McQuoid, follows Earthrealm’s fighters as they finally enter the brutal Mortal Kombat tournament against Shao Kahn and the forces of Outworld. The sequel introduces Johnny Cage as a major new hero while characters like Kitana, Scorpion, Liu Kang, and Raiden battle to stop Earthrealm from being conquered.

Alright listen up, I'll be upfront and honest, this is better than the first but still a way off from being a Flawless victory.

Please bring me a Johnny Cage / Kano buddy cop team up movie. That would be five stars easily. Also Baraka, funny af. Add him to the buddy cop movie. Best fight is probably Liu Kang Vs [REDACTED]. That one felt like two players going at it.

The film is very much Kitana's. Liu Kang is pretty much a background character unfortunately. Cole Young gets like 10mins of screen time total and it's a shame they listened to the fans about it. I do like Cole I like his power but if they doubled down and just added to him they could have redeemed him for fans.

Fights, blood, humour was wicked. Story was meh at best of times. The tournament fell to the background while the pressing matters of seeking an amulet took over. The tournament I wish had more of an arena feels to it rather than "levels" or "stages". Shao Kahn I wish talked more shit to his opponents. Kano I wish had his cyborg eye. Sindel was useless. Great Ed Boon cameo. 

The theme song always slaps, overall I had a pretty good time with this and hopefully we get more from this cinematic universe.

8/10

A video message from Tai aka Joshua Seth.

I requested a cameo video message from Joshua Seth who voices Tai. I was just telling him that I was a big fan of his work as Tai and that as a kid I gave myself the middle name of Tai.

I also asked him for a good ol' fashioned Tai pep talk to digivolve in the gym.
