Visits to the doctor
Friday, June 20th, 2008 : 2:15 am
On my most recent visit, the doctor - an elderly man in his late 50’s that seems to have too much talcum powder on his face - decided to have a little chit-chat with me. After asking about my work as web designer and about how he can get a website up and running, he thought it best to dispense this piece of (conflicting) advice to me, because I had indigestion.
At your age ah, I think you already need to get married. Someone to take care of your food. This problem you have, all because not eating properly. Don’t let your stomach be empty. *slight pause* But you know, single is also good. Got a lot of freedom. If I can I also want to be single. Can do whatever I want.
Motif cakap pasal kawin?! Sentap!
Of course, that was a much “gentler” experience compared to the one I had a few months ago in another clinic. The doctor - a sturdy elderly man that also happens to be in his 50’s - told me to get on the weighing scale. Even at home I usually dread doing it, but this time I had no choice. Once he saw the figure, the good doctor shook his head and then said:
Aiyo, manyak gumuk!
So memalukan ok! *nanges!

Girlfriend, I have gone through the same experience ok when I was doing a compulsory pre-employment medical check-up.
The doctor is also in his 50s, a bit fierce but with a dry wit. The conversation went like this:
Tuan Doctor: Generally you are healthy but you know what your problem is right?
Saya yang Gebu: (very meekly) Yes.
Tuan Doctor: Tell me lah what’s your problem. Say it.
Saya yang Gebu: (under my breath, almost mumbling): I am overweight.
Tuan Doctor: Yes, you are FAT!
Lepas tu kena lecture yang berunsur-unsur “you are a pretty girl, why you let yourself go like this…” bla bla bla.
Rasa nak marah je ok.

Nyah, I’ve told you that countless times.
You don’t need a doctor to verify the figure on the scale kan?

Good grief. Why are your doctors all so old?!

The more reason why people don’t do regular check-ups, right?
