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
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...

I can't believe you are a doctor. How many times i've come across you labelling people fat and ugly. You do understand the saying that goes "what goes around comes around? Just remember that you are going to have a family one day. Imagine your kids being fat and ugly. If it's not your kids, perhaps your grandkids. I know that you are not going to publish this comment but i know that you are going to read it before you delete it. It is good enough for me.
Azura che pi - pity u..... Sigh .. Kesian awak. Will leave ur lovely comment here. Will let the readers decide...
My advice to u... Go find a husband... U sound lonely
bro..finding it's ironic that you are honoring your patient-doctor confidentiality but didn't hesitate to use your "fren" to get your way with the father...not saying he is totally faultless...but sometimes your world view is a mystery to me...anyway,reading your rantings(and the people who agrees to everything you write)is always entertaining to me..
tuanzamani, I think he did the right thing, honoring patient-doctor confidentiality eventhough we may see that the boy still like a child..but the bit as the right to keep it to himself if he wish too..doctor only can advice but we cant tell the parents if the patient wants to remain silent, unless in the life threatening situation, that will be debatable in the court.(go refer Gillick v West Norfolk) anyway, getting a so called "fren" of course the wise thing to do because u never know what will happen if u dont react at the right time..u life at stake since malaysian is "boleh" in everything..
Tuan zamani.... Would u just sit there doing nothing when there was a crazy guy outside the clinic waiting for u with a whole bunch of gang holding "parang ".
Not sure about u but my body isn't "kebal" for sure!
Hans, who's the friend? Kena tau jugak ni kot2 one day it happen to me...wondering if I have that kind of friend to call...
kak fatin (mummyhanny).... not tuan zamani , that's for sure
z_pejal:i've known hannan before we went to russia to study medicine..and i didn't say he was wrong to call a "fren"...i just find his world view interesting...
hannan:you may not know this story..but in russia,beside the usual run arounds with the skin heads.my neighbour was a mafia chief..the real deal..intially he actually wanted to kill us(with guns and his not so muslim friendly goons),but in the end we manage to win his heart..alhamdulillah..
my point is..there's always a way bro...however,knowing you..as i said earlier..i don't think it was wrong to call ur fren..i know it's really scary..
mummyhunny:word of advice...if you're a good person in the first place..you have no reason to know such friends...
interesting
pernah kena panic attack last year selepas terdengar satu berita...so baru i tau panic attack tu aper..
