"tummy" ache

Its been a week now since I felt a gurgling sensation in my stomach, I just ignore it since I have a tolerance for pain... but then last Saturday morning while going to work, it felt different, there's something tingling and there's this urge to vomit slash take a vowel slash something. The pain is striking and it felt like there's an air inside my tummy. So by 10:30 am, I asked permission to go see a doctor and it was granted.
I arrived at the hospital here at about 1:30 pm. I was out at work by 12:30 pm (half-day) and I immediately proceed to the information section, later after filling forms the nurse called my name and then I was lead inside the room where the doctor is sitting holding a paper. Thank goodness that he can converse in English quite well or else it will be difficult for me to fully understand his explanation or maybe, I might just use my extra talent of "sign language". (I can understand and speak a bit of the Korean language but never it will be my career to master it) He examines my stomach and asks me where is the more painful part so I told him that it was on the lower level of my left body. After that, he told me to have an x-ray. After my x-ray session, he told me that there's a slight infection to my small intestine and to my abdomen that's why it is aching. He prescribed me to have an injection as a pain reliever and to take an oral medicines (antibiotics) for medication. And so, they inject me in my butt! That's the way they do injections here, with a little bit of spanking so you won't feel the needles. That's what they should also do in the Philippines so that little children would not be afraid of injections. I remember my vaccination in elementary, at the sight of the needle I immediately hide in my desk so that they won't see me and I cry soo really loud that they would go away from me,heh heh! But it doesnt work, I get vaccinated anyway.
As of now, after taking day 1 of medicine, my stomach is kind'a OK! I hope I would feel better soon! ( I won't skip meal and I will eat on time nah!)
