Doc...Kao Ying Buey? (Are you married?)

I have been asked this question on how to tell if your doctor is married.

1. Ask

a. The doctor himself/herself
DR: Hello. (Looks at clerking card) Miss Tan right? What brings you to the clinic today?
Miss Tan: Doctor… are you married?

DR: Hello Mr Tan. You look so tired today. What happened?
Mr Tan: Doctor… how many children do you have?

b. Other doctors
DR: Hello Miss Tan. How are you feeling today?
Miss Tan: Hi… do you know if Dr. Ong from Ward 45 is married?

c. The ugly, old clinic assistant (UOCA)
Miss Tan: Eh…ask you hor… your Dr. Ong… is he married?
UOCA: (without even looking up) Yes. To me.

d. Other patients
(In waiting area)
Miss Tan: Hmm.. just wondering if our Dr. Ong is married.
Miss Ang, Miss Lim, Miss Tay, Miss Chen, Miss Lee: (in unison) That’s what we want to know too!

e. The internet
You can always google. You may be surprised at what you might find. E.g. Using google to check for this doctor called Dr. BL Og will link you to his blog. However, you will still be unsure whether he is married or not.

2. Check for pictures

- Look out for photo frames on his desk, his wall. For many married doctors, apart from their degrees, they usually frame up some family pictures on the wall, the desk etc.
- Use the photos to ask more questions.

- Check his wallet! Creep silently like a ninja behind him when he is paying for food in the canteen. Then it will be revealed that...

- If little girl, likely his daughter or he is a pedophile.
- If sweet young thing, likely his girlfriend is still a university student (HEH!) or he still has not grown out of a certain phase in life yet
- If mature, gorgeous babe, likely his girlfriend/wife/mistress
- If more mature, slightly plump lady, likely his wife. Well, it may be his mother. But you sure you want to be with a guy who keeps his mother's picture in the wallet? If keep family picture I still can understand...
- If his own photo, he is likely to be narcissistic and won't be interested in you. Maybe if you are his twin brother. But then again that is another story for another day
- If little boy, likely his son or he is a homosexual pedophile
- If sweet young male thing/hunk/elderly man, he is likely gay. And you won't stand a chance. Unless you think you can convert him.
- If picture of a sheep/goat....... well......


3. Check the clinic room to look for circumstantial evidence
E.g. Are there any lunch boxes lying around? If there are, it may mean a few things.Examples
“…hey, I am happily married and this lunchbox is the evidence of my wife’s love and devotion to me…”

“…hey, I am married and my wife is controlling my finances. No choice but have to eat from lunch boxes...”

“…hey, I am not married but I have this love-hate relationship with my mother. She prepares lunch for me to symbolise her control over me…”

“…hey, I am not married and I am too stingy to go out for lunch…”

You may not want to know him better. Period.
4. Check his fingers
- Are there rings there?- Well, many surgeons I know don’t wear their wedding bands because it is rather troublesome to have to take off/put on in the OT. For operations I mean. Not for er….other things like what they may do on Sunday Morning. So it may be a bit harder if you intend to chase a surgeon. But then again, why do you want to be with a surgeon? =P- Some of them wear the rings on their necklaces. Can check the neck as well. Can also check for love bites at the same time.

5. Stalk your doctor

- Highly effective but also highly illegal.

The above methods can all be tried, apart from number 5. Unless you want to be arrested and get sent to a mental hospital for evaluation. Unless your target is a psychatrist.

    come on, if i am not a patient unlikely to apply 1. for 2 and 3, my doc do not have a permanent room leh, so method failed. that left four, but did not see a ring leh.

    I will not apply 5 because i am not interested in going to mental hospital.

    I got his hanphone no though, cos he asked me to call him directly to provide some info. better tips pls.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Provide some info?
    You are
    1. Pharmacist
    2. Someone from QIU
    3. MSW
    4. Hospital security
    5. Hospital canteen operator? Heh

    Anyway, call him to provide him with the info that he requires... and then make small talk lah?
    Are you the kind of ger that insists that the guy must make the first move?
    Small talk...ask about gerfriend, ask about kids etctec
    Hmm..you think he have kids?

  12. Hmm.. i think it is hard for male patients to approach their female/male doctors. Perhaps it is a social thing.
    Have you heard this Chinese saying,
    "For a girl to go after a guy, it's like a silk veil in between.
    For a guy to go after a girl, it's like a mountain in between."

    And man, being man, are more visual creatures. They love pretty, hot things. And females doctors? Hmm... please refer to much earlier posts about criteria for medical school. Can't remember if I covered this part. HAHA...

    Anyway, that was a joke. yes?

    Everyone is beautiful.

    it will be very obvious to show i am interested in him if i ask him if he has kids, is married etc.

    and he is always so busy with the cases that keep coming him.

    problem becomes don't know what is a good time to approach him without disturbing his work.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Future Aussie Med Student: That's why for some doctors, you have to ask them.
    I find it surprising that they don't have a photo here or there. Even if they don't like their wives' face, will usually still keep the kids' picture, since their DNA's in the kids too.
    Books strewn everywhere... what kind of books? My colleague's car also has books everywhere. Occasionally, you see a book about Barney etctec. And no, she don't read Barney to herself.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Well, ask him out for coffee/tea when he is free or something after work. If he says no,
    1. He is too busy
    2. He has to go home to family/meet girlfriend etc
    3. He is not interested

    If it is 2 or 3, then you'll know the answer to your heart's question.
    If it is 1... well, it can't be 1 all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well, if you ask him if he is attached/married as a matter-of-fact, there is no harm.
    What can possibly happen?
    1. He says that he is. (That'll hurt for a while but at least it's clearer)
    2. He says he is not. (Then we can all hear your heart go "HOORAY!!!!" and see how to take it from there)
    3. He says he is not, and starts to avoid you. (That'll hurt too. But it's better yes?)
    4. He says he is not, and he asks you the same question. ( BOOM! Can talk liao!)

  27. Well, Dr. BL Og is *ahem* not ugly also mah. Unfortunately, he's stuck in Monkey Republic.

    Hmm... if the doctor involved starts to tell others that the girl is interested in him when he am already married or attached, then it reflects his maturity level. Or rather the lack of it.

    You are merely asking him about his family. If he takes that as you being interested in being his gf/wife, then something is wrong!
    Maybe the way you say it? You're not going to go "..Eh Doc.. are you married? Because if you're not, I am taking you right here, right now!" No way yes???

    So dun worry k?

  43. Well... sometimes, you may feel good about the person. Does not necessary mean you have to be romantically attached to him or her.

    Yeah... breaking up families no good. Sorry. Mixed up between iloveog and FAMS. tsk tsk. Heh.

    And again, going out with someone can just be a very "fun" thing. Get to know each other first. =)

  45. Well, why is he reluctant to talk about it?
    Be careful nonetheless. It is not healthy if he runs to you (forgive the pun) when he has problems with his wife/kids etc. But anyway, it's just Dr. BL Og's cynical side talking.

    geno: Want to know people? Get to know monkeys at Monkey Republic also not bad.

  46. anon@11.29: Yeah. Whether he can be your boyfriend, your husband etc should not be the issue at all now. Just be friends. You may end up finding out something about him that totally disgust or freak you out! Well, life is usually not so dramatic. But after spending time with him, that "special feeling" may very well just fade away. Then you'll look back and smile to yourself. =) Remember to smile yes?

  118. hmmm... have to maintain one's rationality while being attracted to anyone lah, and that includes not overanalysing the guy's words and actions. otherwise will get disappointed, hurt, distracted from work...

    m wondering, if anon (who's interested in particular doctor) is attracted to that doctor coz of his professional aura/demeanour?

    No doubt, a doctor (regardless of facial features) who's serious and good at his work, and possesses great crisis-handling skills, is very attractive. Heck, ALL men are attractive if they exude calm professionalism, have admirable work ethics, intelligent, etc.

    So the point is... hopefully, anon and any woman interested in doctors, will see/like the men as they are, without the white coat. the person himself is most important, no?

    How about doctors with immediate family members of patients? Any real life examples where it has happened?

    Interestingly, the Singapore ethical rules only prohibit adulterous and improper association with immediate family members of patients, and not sexual relationship per se. Wonder the exact rationale behind this, and the actual meaning of this rule?

  122. there are always grey zones... but I have never come across these situations.

    anyway, family members can also be vulnerable sometimes and we shouldn't be taking advantage of the pretty grand daughter of the demented ah mah you are treating la!

  123. what are some of the things a male doc would do if he is attracted to a female patient? it would be interesting to know... e.g. long consultation time & follow-ups, gives personal contact no, what else?

    anyway i think it's a no no for doctor-patient relationship? wouldn't the doctor risk losing his/her license if he/she is romatically involved with a patient??
