another plain day at work ...
i was at a medical ward , a case was referred to me...
an elderly , having severe cough and worsening shortness of breath...
i looked at the chest x ray,
then i promptly asked him
"pakcik , hisap rokok dulu kan? "
but quickly the wife answered " iskh mano ado doktor! laki saya x isap rokok ..."
" ho lah ... ayoh x isap rokok la doktor ..... main tuduh jah " added the obese daughter ....
i smile and I looked at the old "pakcik "...
" adik , mak cik , saya tau la pak cik isap rokok " i replied ....
then i showed them the x ray . ...
" saya tengok x ray ni saya tau pok cik ni perokok"...
after a short pause of awkward moment ,
the mak cik said " ho lah ... dulu pak cik isap rokok... tapi 2 tahun doh berhenti "
" hooh... ayoh lamo doh x isap rokok " again that fat daugther added .... she's so annoying...
" mmmm... mok cik , pok cik ni baru berhenti setahun.. tapi dio start isap rokok umur brapo? " i asked ...
" lamo doh doktor pok cik isap rokok ... sejak umur 15 tahun lagi..." finally the pakcik uttered a word of his own....
" hoh, tengok tu... kalu start isap umur 15 , lo nih umur 75 .... bukan dah dekat 60 tahun pok cik isap rokok ke? " i said ....
"tapi setahun doh x isap " that ugly daughter still want to argue....
ladies and gentleman...
here is the ugly truth...
the damaged to ur lungs caused by smoking is NON REVERSIBLE...
meaning if u smoked for more than 3 months...a pack per day ...
u already screwed ur lungs...
hence , it will eventually developed an illness called the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...
so how do u know when u get the illness?
u'll come to hospital complaining of chronic cough..
plus shortness of breath....
and if not treated properly.. could simply cause death.
so some would think..
" i have been smoking for a long time , i'll die anyway once my lungs are completely destroyed by the smoke... why should i stop? "
yes u r right.. ur life may be over..
but please think about other people around you...
ur wife, ur kids, ur parents...
those who lives with smokers and frequently inhaled the smoke from the cigarette smoked by ur husband or parents...
u 'll get the same illness as if u are the smokers...
something to think about rite?
p/s - no offence to my friends who smoke ... u guys rock! rock the world!
