I know this story may sound so funny but i mean every words that i posted here
We all know that for you to migrate to some countries to seek for greener pasture, you may need to apply for asylum in some countries for you to have a resident permit and most time it may requires that you will be transferred to a refugees camp where you may spend up to one year or more than.
I have in most cases heard alot of people complaining of shortage of blood because they were taken to the hospital and in the process they have to collect not less than two piles of blood from their bodies. I was in doubt of such accusations until something similar but strange happened to me today.
I happened to be an asylum seeker in italy and i was given an apartment in the refugee camp with a registeration number.
I was out for my normal day activities when my mobile phone suddenly rang, i picked it and it was from one of the satff working in the camp. He requested that i should come that my attention is needed urgently at the hospital which is located right inside the camp. I didn't hesitate to come immediately because i have been loyal to every rules and regulations guiding the camp and i never wanted to have a record of been a bad boy here in Europe.
When i arrived the hosputal i met many doctors inside not like the formal days which they are usually less than two, after some introductions, they showed me pictures of my fellow Nigerians whom have already been here for their own treatment today so that i am the only one remaining. Not only that, i met about three staff inside the hospital too and they were the one that gathered around convincing me to take the injections that even themselves have already taken their own. The doctor said that he will give me a form to sign and then that he will give me injection which will warrant that i will not take my bath for two days.
I was in hurry to reply to them that in no way interested in any form of treatment and moreover that i never requested for such so then i have to take my leave. At the first they accepted i should go since i am not interested, that it was never a mandatory. But when i got out side the hospital and i was about going back to my room i noticed that those staff i met inside the hospital was still behind me. They were trying to convince me to come back and take the injection. I then had a change of mind and decided to follow them back to the hospital, immediately we got to the door, i had to change my mind again to go because i suspected a foul movement. I now engage in a heated argument with the staff.
Suprised, the doctor came out and said i should come inside that he wanted to tell me something, i went inside and everyone's focus was on me. The doctor now brought out the document and said i shoul sign. I was fast enough to read thorough the documents. And these was what I could remember
"Is the applicant aware of the consequences?
"Is the applicant aware of the negative effects?
" and i coluld still remember a word (tuberclosin) so i was thinking it was "tuberclosis" but i am quite sure i saw the spelling correctly so it wasn't tuberclosis.
The doctor immediately noticed i was intelligent enough to read from the document. He suddenly took the document from me and siad it wasn't meant for me. I now asked him where then is the one he said I will sign. He immediately jumped into another topic and brought in the issue of chicken pox. Looking around me was surrounded by many people. I have to grabbed one weapon in the office and threatened all of them that if anyone stops me from leaving the hospital now. He or she will have himself to blame. That was how I left. I am still afraid that they mayt ake revenge of it may be to release my papers for me
So doctors in the house. Please what kind of injection will be given to someone and then he or she will have to avoid bathing for two days. I am still in shock.

Was this what you think you saw sacroiliac? It might either be a variant of sacroiliac or an alternative steroid based injection (still in test stage).
So you were going to be a guinea pig, to test the efficiency of the steroid injection.

what made me became suspicious was, what kind of injection should i need to sign a document before taking?

Please....

From your narration, it seems they wanted to test you for tuberculosis.It is called tuberculin skin test where purified protein derivative PPD, obtain from mycobacterium tuberculosis is injected on your skin intradermally to see if your immune system will mount a reaction against it after 48 to 72 hours, hence the reason they said you won't take your bath for those days because the induration (swelling on your skin) will be measured to know if you are positive to it.

You were right to reject it since you were not properly educated about it to give informed consent. Please dont use because of permit to accept what you dont know, always seek for explanation before you sign any document.

thank you very much. I think "tuberculin" was the appropriate word i saw there. I am now satisfied. Thanks for your information. I really appreciate
