Snippets #9

Hey peeps....sorry i've been away for quite a bit. Work has been absolutely hectic...i sleep at 4am, get into work by 730am then i'm on my feet (literally) running up and down till 5pm. So when i get home i usually try to take a short nap after dinner but the next minute i open my eyes and it's 3am and i'm in bed with all my clothes on, with all the lights on and with a ton more work to do!
I really need to start taking my multivitamins again cos i feel dead exhausted which is surely unnatural for someone my age!

But i'm trying to readjust my sleeping time and will get back to blogging soon.....hopefully....

Oh and to Nino and Nick who sent me such sweet messages on Twitter cos they were worried bout me...thank you so much darlings! Sorry i haven't replied but i haven't been on Twitter either since world cup ended *sob*. Much thanks and love for your concern *hugs*

For my research, i have a separate number so that my patients can contact me in case they can't make it for their appointments or they need to ask me questions about their medication. But the other day i received a call from one of them (in broken English and Malay....have translated/repeated verbatim):

Hello.....can talk for a while?
Yes...is there any problem?
Can be friends?
What???
Can talk friendly
Okie......
*Silence for the longest time.............................................................................................*
Yes??
Ok that is all
Huh?? Do you have any problem with your medication?
No no...that is all

Weird right?? Now i feel all creeped out and weird as arse cos i have to meet this person a few more times to counsel him. And he's got this habit of just staring.......*shudder*

So anyway i thought that was the end of that.
Until just now when he called yet again to tell me that his mother told him to take extra tablets. And he wants to know what he should do! I mean for the love of god la...you're 34 years old! Don't irritate me with lame excuses to try and talk to me. So i told him sternly that his mother is not a doctor and to just follow the doctor's instructions!
My brother heard the whole conversation and started laughing...until i told him what the guy was really up to then he looked pissed as hell! LOL!
Anyway now this is getting plain annoying cos if this keeps up i'm gonna have to kick him out of the study. As it is the other day i had to kick this dude out cos he kept messaging me at 4am everyday just to complain bout the fact that he could not sleep. So the next time he came to the clinic i blasted him and told him that just because he can't sleep that doesn't mean he has to disturb other people who are sleeping!

Of course at that point it was the world cup and i was actually awake but that's besides the point! He didn't know i was awake!

Thank god most of my male patients are old........

On a sad note, i recently found out that one of my favourite bloggers, Robert, who blogs on Mutley The Dog's Day Out has passed on. This is truly such a tragedy cos he was truly one of the wittiest and wackiest bloggers alive.

May you rest in peace luv....
