The pensieve - daily musings 9:18 pm

though it’s still GP clinic posting… we’re fast running out of interest in the mundane coughs, colds, stomachaches and various patients with ‘hidden agendas’…

though hmmm we did see stuff like cleft lip, ?amniotic band syndrome, and other not-so-very-gp stuff.

we spent the day listening to our dear gp talk about
- politics and lky
- trading… commodities? derivatives? until now i still dun understand him. pengz
- altruistic docs
- how to aim for 2As2Bs or 3As1Bs during his time (long long time ago) so that he would get into med (cos all the 4As pple get slotted into law and engineering)
- how to negotiate with the greedy, unethical housing agents… (he sold his house today u know! and became homeless haha)
- something about ma2la4huo2guo1
- a case of molestation he’d once handled
- guidelines on breast examination (hehe)
- the definition of success…
- the meaning of shopping in orchard road for a lawyer… it means buying up 3 condos at one shot (without viewing the place). WOW!
- how he does not believe in proselytising… GOOD!

sh*t, i’m having corpus pruritus how la?

and i’m soooooooo bored!!! i can’t even think of anything sinful to do!

and now on to BRATS!
it’s standard practice amongst GPs (at least mine does) to give all kids that come into his clinic a sweet! 4 out of 10 of his patients are children… they range from about 2 to 7 yrs old? yet, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE BRATS have said thanks to him without prompting…
and only… 2 out of all those kids i’ve seen so far (and that makes like 30sth kids) have been prompted by their parents to say thanks….
and….
only ONE kid has said thanks and bye and been really friendly and polite!
and guess what, this is a kid with problems of speech! (she’s had a recently-corrected cleft lip and still undergoing speech therapy).
haiz, i’m sooo disappointed in all these young parents!

想当初,my mum’s very strict with me and my bro… wa dun say thanks, go home kena scolded! lolz… after just a few times, it’s a-u-t-o-m-a-t-i-c… automatically greet pple and say thanks! parents these days ah… haiyo… what violin, what piano, tuition? send for special courses? JUST TEACH YR KIDS THE BASIC P’S AND Q’S FIRST LA!

finally, question of the day:

which speciality earns the most money? according to the IRA?


guess guess guess!
