He does not want to be sick. He wants to get to his dealer who has the dope that gets him high.
“Connection,” I just can't make no connection<
He can’t find good dope where he is; he wants to get back to his usual and ordinary supplier or who ever his dealer sends around to make the delivery. Plainly you can understand that he wants his dope.
Everything is going in the wrong direction<
He got some weak dope.
the doctor wants to give me more injections<
Some Junkies are particularly adept at shooting up fellow dopers. These helpers are often called Doc. Some do not have to buy dope to feed their habits at all; they get a taste from the people who they facilitate shooting up. Keith clearly says that his Doctor wants to give him more injections. That means his shooter is with him in the airport or wherever, and is ready to shoot him up again, but they do not have good dope to inject.
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections<
No matter what the problem physical, or physiological, some form of drug is the desired cure. The only hope is dope.
And I don't know if he'll let me go<
If he can’t find what he needs soon, the Doc is going to leave him, and he will have to shoot up himself.
Everything is going in the wrong direction<
The dope that they just shot is bunk.
The doctor wants to give me more injections<
They need more dope to get him well.
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections<
Junkies have thousands of reasons why they need a fix, but the solution to all ills, is only one.
My bags they get a very close inspection, I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em<
People who hang with Junkies are suspected of doing drugs to?
They're dying to add me to their collection, And I don't know if they'll let me go<
Just because his friends do drugs what makes you think he does to?
@Sumflow - this Sumflow comment is the explanation by a drug addict, so sad to read it... the real meaning of the song is: Keith Richards wrote most of this song, which is about the long hours the Stones spent in airports and the hard life of performing on the road, with all the travel-weary metaphors that go with it. The repeated word "connection" is a reference to connecting flights, "Everything is going in the wrong direction" is again suggesting not being able to get the right flights, and "The doctor wants to give me more injections, giving me shots...

Oh, and "my bags, they get a very close inspection." Well, better not have any contraband in there! And of course that Keith was an obvious supsect for the customs officers.
