Sleeping With The Enemy






Woohoo!! Man POWER!!!



The Longkang Times also reported on male nurses today on the front page! Dr BL Og will also like to salute our male nurses here!

Dr Og is not sexist ok, but frankly given a choice, I will rather work with male nurses. Why???

1) They are not so kan cheong.
Somehow the char bors are kan cheong spiders (read this article). So many times those female nurses code blue (emergency code for patient who collapse) and when we reach there you see the patient comfortably sipping on his Milo.

"But doc, just now I call him no response!"

Yup, he was sleeping.

2) They are not so naggy!!
Contrary to common belief that male nurses are usually effeminate, it takes a garung man to be a male nurse these days as this is a hospital ploy to get a two in one, ie nurse double up as security guard. So the male nurses are damn solid (ya! the ultimate lock!) and don't kpkb day in day out. Saves our ears from getting raped by those high pitch screams of "Dr!!! Dr!!......"

3) We are Brothers!
Pee break, smoking break, can you go with the female nurses??? The male nurses are perfect mates to go la kopi with. Let them be your ears and eyes in the ward, to keep watch on that evil matron so that you can be one up on her the next time she tries to complain to your consultant! With the male nurses there is always room to cham siong. Yes, having gone through similar NS experiences, we are band of brothers!

4) No Need to be So Sensitive
To hell with being the SNAG! Talk abit louder to the ger nurse, "You SHOUT at me!!". Tell her she did the wrong things "You know you hurt my feelings!"
With the male nurses, no need for all those silly sensitvities. You can swear knnbccb and they won't complain to the nearest matron. You can have a heated argument without worrying about them running to the toilet to cry. (and you having to embarrasingly stand outside the toilet door to pacify!) No need say sorry! hehe!

5) They don't become your wives!
It is REAL that doctors, being boring creatures with no life beyond the hospital, end up marrying nurses. With the male nurses there is NO danger of making this mistake and bringing Hell home with you!

Just so that you don't end up sleeping with the enemy!! (Trust me on this one!)

    It's easier working with guys.
    1. No bitching
    2. No hidden meanings in conversations.
    3. Heated arguments not carried over once the matter resolves.
    4. Straight to the point.

  5. I prefer working with guys also. They are so much more straightforward and they are less judgmental than women who like to compare and compare. KNS!
