being a doctor may be the most noble job in the world
but at times ,
it could be very dangerous as well...
once upon a time
i was doing locum at a private clinic...
one day , came this one big family
bringing their beloved son
he's about 19 years old
good looking , loveable and look healthy physically
but he was brought to the clinic that night as he was having shortness of breath
then came the mother into the treatment room..
"doctor ! quickly see my son... he's having asthmatic attack! quick quick !" yelled the fat ugly mother...
I was seeing other patient that time and I told her
" occay , i'll see him after this patient "
she gave me the " not satisfied look" and went out ...
then i called in the sick boy..
he came in accompanied by his mother , 2 fat sisters and fierce looking father..
" quickly examine my brother " ordered the fat sister..
" settle down... calm down.. let me do my job " i replied...
then i check that boy ... in and out..
i examined everything...
after i've done , I smiled at the family..
i told the ugly mother "he's fine , just having a panic attack ... "
then the mother yelled at me again " doctor! my son is having asthmatic attack! give him the meds! he's so sick , he cant breath... you idiot doctor! "
i said nothing....
then i asked all of them to leave
it was just me and the kid in the room...
i kindly asked the kid " hey boy .... just tell me the truth here occay , no bullshit.. no crap... i know what's wrong with u ... just admit it ! ur mother is sooooooooooo bloody annoying! "
" i need the pill doc! dah 2 hari x dpt pil kuda ni doc... please help me " the boy begged me...
" screw you.... i had enough of ur family... go home and pray to Allah" i told off the boy...
clearly , he was having the withdrawal syndrome
but i kept his secret from the family.. it's the patient-doctor thingy...
then the boy asked for my forgiveness for how his family reacted to me.
but it didnt end there...
the father came back into my room.
complaining about my poor medical skills, told me that i'm not qualified to be a doctor
i told him and his family to go home...
but he threatened to kill me...
and that was his mistake...
straight away ,
i made a call ...
a "fren" dropped by at the clinic..
5 mins later ... the father begging for my forgiveness.... on his kneess... kissing my shoes...
lesson to be learned
1st - dont screw with me.
2nd - dont screw with me
3rd - still dont screw with me
4th - if ur healthy kid - suddenly had panic attack after not going out with frens for few days ....
u might talk to him before bringing him to doctor.... if not... u will look like a fool...
