Dr Og's My Plate

Something made Dr Og sibei buay song recently. I had not long ago taken much effort to teach and help my daughter memorize this:

Then the Bee Kok president, Obama's wife, Michelle intro a new version!

Wah lau, you all can decide or not! Wait I get scolded by my bao bei daughter leh... ask her learn wrong things!

Also hor, Asians alot cannot lim guni la! Dairy products eat liao lao sai... I as a prooo-fessssioner suggest this one better:

1. Wine is now officially part of Asian cuisine with the mainland Chinese buying all the La-fite and La-tour! Now the ang mohs cannot afford their wine liao so of course you don't see it included in the western version! Wine is also good for health loh and one glass a day decreases your cardiac risk.

2. If you don't like La-tour and prefer to La-Kopi, drink kopi orh kosong! Unlike dairy, it has zero calories. Don't drink kopi how to survive the rest of the day??? Especially hang over from last night's wine!

3. Honestly, I don't really know what is Grain in the original version la. Dr Og only knows that here in Singapore, we eat RICE. Ok la, roti prata also can.

4. Bak You is also an essential part of our healthy diet. If no Lard, you will have no Bak Chor Mee, Char Kway Teow and every other (tasty) dish you can think of! Those who claim that Bak You is Bad For You, show me the evidence! Show me a single evidence based literature that Bak You is bad!

5. Starch and MSG is essential for making those thick thick broth that we all like so much. Especially shark's fin soup! Don't believe the Ang Moh when they tell you sharks are endangered la. The last I check, they are still attacking humans in Bondi Beach Australia leh.

AND since people so gian to know what is on My Plate in the hospital, this is it loh:

We have lots of peanuts. Quite good la, a whole plate of it! You are also provided free water cooler H2O for lubrication while they shove it down your throat. If not enough, can find KY jelly anywhere in the wards!

Introducing Whiny

Hello world, I'm Whiny the talking stethoscope.

Og: Eh.... you one of those rejected mascots?

Wah lau, I'm not rejected lah, but they neber use me only.
They preferred dancing veges.


Og: Sure or not?

Ok lah, tell you all the truth, they say I look like a snake..... wait scare little children...... haha!

Whoa! am I sexy or what!


My current altruistic mission is to continue the crusade against ill health! (England cheem or what, haha). Without all the cheesy jingles and TV ads of course!

Today, my topic will be on BMI.

A normal BMI is between 20-25. Beyond 25 you are a fat bastard!

Og: Eh, I think you outdated liao leh. This is the new guideline lah!

Oh really??

Neber mind! Then let me tell you about high blood pressure! Before I became a mascot, I was a BP set stethoscope, but I broke up with the sphygmomanometer when I found out she was seeing a Littman Classic! That bitch.....

Well, back to health education! Anything above 140/90mmHg is considered high blood pressure and you have to see doctor and start life style modifications! Means you gotta get your fat ass out of the couch and do some exercise!!!!

Og: Hmmmm, i think there is a new guideline for hypertension.

What???? Change again?? Wah biang! Ok, ok, don't think you can dent my passion for public education like that! Better go get more CME points and update myself.....

I'll be BACK!
Watch out for Whiny and his friends as they fumble in their feeble attempts at mascoting!

PS: A reader said that I insulted the place she/he is working in with this post. As A Doc's Life is a happy happy blog with no negative intentions of any kind (REALLY!), I edited the post. Hope everyone is happy :)

You aren't Superman,

and you definitely aren't made of steel.




Yes you ar! The gay looking young man in tight bicycle shorts. You suddenly cut into my lane this morning round Monkey Crescent! Ya ya, you signalled by waving your right hand. But you cut into my lane from the pedestrain pathway ok! Since when the pedestrian path become part of the road? Do you see cars driving onto the foot path???

And you, the ah pek in singlet. You suddenly cycle across the zebra crossing just while I was accelerating to move off. How the hell you expect me to see you when you chiong at such a high speed and behind a big tree somemore???

And the two of you! You all not wearing helmets. You think Singapore road very safe isit? Better go check the statistics on how many road accidents there are every year. Why the rest of the developed world got law say must wear helmet then singapore don't have? All the ah peks just chiong here and there in their bi-ci-ker, sometimes long pang their grandchildren, all ne'er wear helmet. Then these cyclist suka suka change from pedestrian to road user then back to pedestrian like Transformer like tat ar???? Wah lui hiam hor!

Head Injuries

Maybe you dunno, but head injury is very dangerous and potentially fatal. Almost 100% of persons with severe head injury and as many as two thirds of those with moderate head injury will be permanently disabled and will not return to their premorbid level of function.

This means that a head injury may just make you stupid and you pee indiscriminately like a child. The take home message really is not that you should not cycle on the roads. It is perfectly fine if you follow traffic rules and your path is predictable to the motorist. Most importantly, wear a helmet!!! Yes, its ugly but the depression on your scalp after craniotomy aren't pretty either! Yes, you might not be travelling at a high speed, but the thing that is gonna knock you silly sure might be!

So ar, the ah pek and gay man, remember hor! You are not Superman ok!!! (and you definitely aren't made of steel!)

Your helmet might just save your life!

Boh Liao National Day Part Deux

After finishing my primary objective of book shopping, I decided to just pop into the John Little's Warehouse sales to get some cheapo shirts and pants. For those young boys and girls, don't be fooled, medicine is not your glamarous profession like protrayed on TV. Often we get all kinds of stains on our cloths like blood, urine and yes even faeces. So wear your Rough Lawlan at your own risk. Anyway if wear until too branded people will say doctors suck blood from sick people's money again. arrrgggghhhh......

Having spent too much money already this month, Dr BL Og will now go on the Og's diet. You are not required to read a thick book or go through many hours of training to do the Og's diet. It is actually just a very simple concept or philosophy(if you will allow me that). To do the Og's diet, you shall NOT spent more than SIN$3 on each meal. Given the exponential way cost of living (& GST) is rising, you will eat less each day. You will not be able to afford kopi peng and instead have to go for the office water cooler. Hence you will have less calories each day and become a tek ko in no time. Feel free to try!!!

Fat Hope of Slimming

Now what is this obession with slimming??? Sure, flats are getting smaller but I really don't think anyone need to diet til they are like bamboo sticks in order to fit in. All those sofa sets sold in Courts with interest free instalments can surely hold at least 2 fat ass-es.
Well, dieting is still primarily a female preoccupation and it takes one crazy woman to know another. But it is pretty disturbing when a medically trained personel like my senior staff nurse proudly revealed during the morning round that she was taking the same slimming product as our TV Ah Jie. By the way, I think she is already too skinny, not that she meddling with her weight can help her look good in any way......
Why spend thousands of dollars attending a slimming centre when all they do is wrap you up in plastic and make you lose water? I can do it for you FOC..... provided you are a hot babe (and my wife is not at home). Try standing under the sun for a few hours, pretty much the same effect. But make sure you applied your SK-II with Pitera. (Another unsubstantiated, evidence-less product. This one even female Drs use!!!)
Just so that you know, there are many medical alternatives. Pharmacologically, there are stimulants (which can cause you to go psychotic), lipase inhibitor (you will leak oil down your ass) and appetite regulators. If not, laproscopic banding can always be done to decrease the space in your stomach. More accurately, these treatments are for anti-obesity purposes ie BMI; 30 (figure prolly lower in Asians). And not for those with fat hopes of having the figure of a model!
