After sometime, the pain was becoming overbearing and I decided to call the ambulance to get some 1st aid help and pain killers. It took them around 20 minutes after the call to reach me. While waiting for them, the pain killers I took seem to took its effect only to disappear a few minutes after.
Because of the long wait and feeling uncomfortable being only draped in my towel, I decided to wear my pants and go to the toilet. When the paramedic finally came, I was in a bit of a rush to take of my pants and change into my towel that I burst the blister I had.
The paramedic team ask if I minded to go to the hospital for a more detailed checkup and I resisted at first as I didn't want to stay overnight in the hospital. With the persuasion of my friends, I gave in. The paramedic gave me a jab to alleviate the pain and gave me a temporary gauze bandage before giving me a ride to the hospital.
After reaching the hospital, I was first brought to the emergency department. I had to take off my trousers in front of the doctor exposing myself in full glory for the doctor to see. Though, I did not have the awkward feeling I usually have if that action was necessary.
I was transferred to the burn center of the hospital where ointment was applied on me by a nurse (I had to once more take off my pants in front of female nurses).
I'm now back home feeling much better as the pain isn't disturbing me and with the sick leave paper, I'm exempted from classes tomorrow. Hopefully I'll heal fast and will be able to be back to normal soon.
