So off the hospital again, this time it’s the radiology clinic which will get my custom. As I arrive, I’m being led to a waiting room where some other patients have gathered. Each of them has two bottles in front of them, from which they sip occasionally. Barium sulfate suspension is a contrast agent which [...]

Can’t seem to see things to the left of me. Slightly dizzy, but no headache. Milena thinks it best to drive me to the hospital. She’s probably right.
