DO NOT, DO TOO


This is a conversation between a surgeon & a patient who had undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder) during the surgeon’s night round…


Surgeon: (Clapping his hands) Out, out, out, all relatives out, doktor nak buat round.


Patient: (With a wet towel on his forehead) Demam la doktor.


Surgeon: (Looking doubtfully at the patient) Demam ke?


Patient: (Annoyed) Demam le. Tak nampak ke?


Surgeon: (Looking at patient’s observation chart) Missy tulis tak demam pun.


Patient: Missy salah tulis.


Surgeon: Missy! Mari sini…patient cakap awak salah tulis temperature chart dia


Missy: Patient ni memang tak demam la.


Patient: Demam la.


Surgeon: (Looking sharply at the nurse) Lebih baik awak check temperature dia ni lagi sebelum aku laser korang semua.



(Again, this is just for laugh. The surgeon is actually someone I personally feel comfortable & confident working with. Though he’s known as a “mulut laser”, he is actually quite kind hearted & works for the best interest of his patients.)
