A former colleague in Sarawak General Hospital, Dr. LWC, was doing rounds with his house officers in the Medical Ward recently, when they came to a HIV-positive patient who was admitted for a certain infection. The doctor who admitted the patient had written down "MAC" on the case notes.
Dr. LWC asked the house officers what MAC means. There was a period of silence, followed by a small tiny voice from the back, saying, "Big MAC? As in MAC Donalds?"
(MAC actually means Mycobacterium Avian Complex, which is the patient's diagnosis)
