Top Ten Worst Things Your Doctor Can Say to You…

September 13, 2005

Again today you have to excuse Simon. He’s got a splitting headache from too many meetings.

Top Ten Worst Things Your Doctor Can Say to You…

  • “I won’t advise you to start watching any new mini-series on TV from now onwards…”

  • “Trust me. My medical degree from Azerbaijan may not be recognized in Malaysia, but I have watched every episode of ‘ER’, ‘CSI’ and ‘Chicago Hope’.”

  • “I really have no idea what’s wrong with you, but I can refer to a few specialist – Tok Guru Ayah Pin, Lilian Too, MD., and my own venerable sinseh…”

  • “Take these pills everyday, if you want to. Or not, I don’t care. Whatever, we all die sooner or later, life is meaningless…”

  • “You again? I must give you a Best Returning Customer Award.”

  • “Oh, good. You have life insurance. Better keep up those premiums, if I were you…”

  • “Relax, this is one of those problems your friends will laugh about when they hear about it. And they probably keep laughing about it for years…”

  • “You know, as your family physician, I can’t recommend black magic and voodoo enough, it’s really just quite misunderstood…”

  • “Whoa, this is definitely good news. At first I thought this was more of a RM50 problem, now this looks more and more like a RM200 jackpot problem…”

  • “Before you start, I just hope you can keep it short, I’m due to give a talk at the tobacco connoisseur’s club in half an hour.”

      I can relate to this ““You again? I must give you a Best Returning Customer Award.” ” *lol* And so,I started to see the nurse for medicine, just to avoid seeing doctor. Headache is no fun.

      Time to run when your doctor says:
      1. What can I do to cure you?
      2. Do you think this medication will work for you?
      3. Why are you having this rashes?
      4. Wait, let me google it!
      5. Nurse! I told you to bring my stethoscope not my ipod!

      Another one:

      “Cure you? You must be kidding! If all my patients are fully cured then I don’t need to do business anymore lorh! As a doctor, I don’t aim to cure, I only want to make you feel *abit* better..”

      In the West, they advise you to stick to a regular doctor, but I find that impossible in KL. Each time you go to a clinic you see a different doctor. So you’re really not sure whether that doctor knows what’s been happening to you.

      Ah, the wonders of Malaysian healthcare.
