Your Enquiries

I was just going through all the comments made and discovered that my replies were rather haphazard! Maybe this was because I was attempting to read the comments in between seeing patients I did all this blogging after work and I was already quite tired. Here are some questions I missed:

Acey Deucey asked:
"How to tell the rank (of doctors) arh? I mean, is it written anywhere on your 'uniform' you are a HO, MO, etc.?"

We don't have ranks sewn on our shirts. Brother, I have to buy these shirts myself and over my dead body would I allow them to sew ranks on my Polo Ralph!
You can easily tell the ranks by observing the behaviours of the doctors. The HO is the one running around aimlessly. The MO is the one who is running after the HO who is running around aimlessly. The Reg is the one shouting at the MO who is running after the HO who is running around aimlessly. The Consultant is the one standing like Stamford Raffles (the statue lah). An easier but less accurate way is to look at the severity of balding.
Actually if you look carefully, in certain hospitals the specialist wears black name tag. Thus black tag is a status symbol in the hospital.

Rune asked:
"Oh and by the way Doc,
Since i have linked you, can i get an MC?"

No! you definitely cannot!

Annonymous asked:"My good doctor, what's your take on the drug Modafinil?"
What the hell is that????

The Angry Little Girl commented:
"Actually, i'm also quite surprise to know that u have time to blog almost every day! Good time management eh?"

Of course good time management! I only blog after work and I sleep only one hour per day. I keep myself alert by taking Modafinil!!!

Annonymous asked (again):
"Are u a real doctor? coz i need access to hospitals to take photos for my photography project and can't seem to get permission..... wondering if you could help.... if possible pls email me at mellifluous@melicacy.com thanks."
Thanks for not reading my profile and disclaimer. Even if I am a real doctor, can't get you into the wards because we need to protect patient's confidentiality. (actually its because we are conducting secret human experiments!) Yes, i know your project will be graded and your mummy won't be too happy if you din get a distinction. Next time do a project on prison or something.

Sanz wondered:
I'm pretty amazed how u can write so many entries in such a short period of time, esp. if u re a doc. U sure?

Again, thanks for not reading my disclaimer which clearly states that I am a deluded son of a blogger and I think I am a real doc. Then again, it also states that most of the things here are totally fictional. Hmm... So am I a real doc or is it a figment of my imagination. Don't think too hard or you might get sleepless nights and might have to come see me. The answer to the other question, I can write so many entries in such a short time because I have an army of monkeys typing furiously at the computer. Sooner or later, one of the million monkeys will produce a blog entry.

Zhe Bin asked:
"Where can we find you when we need an MC?"
No! No! No MCs for all of you!!!! :P
