Blunder #1

Today, as I was clerking a patient (with half my mind astray) I committed a huge mistake.

"Auntie, are you STILL married?"
(enquiring about marital status)


It totally exacerbated the auntie's bulging eyes.


My bad.

Without a doubt, I kena kao-kao from the supervising lecturer! HAHAHA!


FYI, she was really hyperthyroid.


P.s. I think I got winked at repeatedly by a senior paediatrician around campus. Mega-stroke for the ego! HAHA!

Oh my! You're so cute lah! JD Cole, it's not wrong to ask about marital status but in this case, our new doctor here ask is she is STILL married, as if thinking she might as well getting divorce soon. Lol.

I like the emphasis on "STILL"... aiyoyo. Question: Did her eyes un-bulge after that? LOL

"Gosh, is this sexy doc intern trying to hit on me?"
