Urine retaintion is not a healthy habit no matter the reason behind it. . Kidney or bladder infection can build up with such habit. Please urinate as often as you feel the need.

This becomes a problem when someone is involved in an accident, rendered unconscious, and then rushed to a hospital where a nurse administers treatment thinking the person has eaten cry cry cry cry cry
Abdominal scan should be conducted first in such case. You don't assume over an unconscious patient.

I've never heard a situation whereby someone could not be assisted by the hospital simply because he or she didn't eat anything... And in some hospitals, patients are given treatment as early as 6am before their breakfast.

I've drank pills in an empty stomach before and nothing happened... For example, yesterday I was feeling very sick and I didn't have an appetite... I didn't eat anything for the whole day, but I took my treatment and nothing happened.

I think in this case but of you are right because in nigeria is always a trend to eat before injection or tablet even some doctors and nurses will ask you to be sure, but in critical condition nobody will ask if you have eaten. He is right because in nigeria medical professionals have made us to know that taking medication with empty stomach is not good because of low stamina.
And you are also right because in south africa ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ all the doctors and nurses I have visited none of them had ever asked if I have eaten, after listening to your symptoms they will bring injection or tablet to give you straight away.
A doctor have given me 3 different injection without asking if I have eaten. That very day I was even scared thinking I'm gonna fall!!!!!!!

I think and say the outrageous things.


I know that.


But these things happen.

I don't see how a nurse can obtain facts from an unconscious accident victim.

Then she feeds the patient through drips for a while before administering anything else.

In any case most people fast - to reduce bowel movementโ€™s and for religious reasons.

Where did you hear this from?
Was once in a hospital for an injection and was asked if I ate before coming and when I said yes, they asked how long ago and when I told them, they said I should eat again or take soft drink with snacks.
Re: Long Distance Travel: What Do You Eat Or Drink Before You Travel? by Nobody: 2:41pm On Sep 24, 2023

It depends on the mode of the long distance travel. Air planes and trains have toilets ๐Ÿ˜‚

If someone keeps telling you he is bad and openly calls his own father a simp for loving his mum, you should take the person serious. But I trust my fellow women. The matyrdom is real. They will try to show him they are different. Later we see threads like, "why do women love bad guys?"
grin grin
He wishes he is bad, but he ain't.
Re: Long Distance Travel: What Do You Eat Or Drink Before You Travel? by skj1377(m): 2:43pm On Sep 24, 2023
Best thing is to not eat and don't drink . That way you can enjoy the trip.

I don't eat or drink anything... I go on fasting until I reach my destination.

But if ever there's a need for you to use the restroom while on the road and you're not the one driving, you can ask the driver to stop by the nearest petrol station or those fast food restaurants along the road and you'll use the restroom there.

most sensible comment... advice noted down... outta d thread.. nexxxxtttt.. life too short

Times when I'll travel from Lagos to the east, or Lagos to South South, I don't eat from home. When the driver stops for people to relieve themselves and eat, I buy stuff like water, chips, apple and suya. When I'm like three hours close to my destination, then I'll eat something. I also have bitter kola.

Can't afford to be pressed while traveling biko. It's not a good feeling as you'll be uncomfortable.

Whenever I get an injection, the doctor doesn't bother asking such questions.

They just inject me and life goes on.

I don't eat until I get to my destination.

But when I travelled from Aba to Abuja in 2019 to collect my certificate at headquarters of National Open University of Nigeria, Chisco Transport offered me a free meal which I ate few minutes before the journey started.
Re: Long Distance Travel: What Do You Eat Or Drink Before You Travel? by Everfrank(m): 2:57pm On Sep 24, 2023
I don't eat any cooked food or pure water. I eat cashew nut, groundnut, gala, corn or fruits. I buy original Eva water or any reliable water.

If I am dying and I am not able to eat, unless it is drip, don't try to save me with drugs or injections biko until I am able to eat.
Re: Long Distance Travel: What Do You Eat Or Drink Before You Travel? by Adewale1603(m): 3:04pm On Sep 24, 2023
I don't bother myself, I will surely eat some little food and little water very early in the morning and take 2 flagly tablet, before embarking on any longer distance journey. That tablet can take me for 2 days before I will feel the need to go to the toilet. That has always been saving me.
