Words spread fast. When their cousins come, they play, as childrens do but this time without upsetting the other occupants of the house. <BR/><BR/>A few days later, it's the same old story again because children has short memories. And the circus repeats itself till they outgrow their childhood pranks. Secretly, I have been hoping they succeed with destroying the monitor because I've been eyeing the new LCD 19 inch for quite some time and the present workhorse refuses to die.uglybaldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183609238273593550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1133063567167312912005-11-27T11:52:00.000+08:002005-11-27T11:52:00.000+08:00Hard to say.Maybe Grandma will come and beat the k...Hard to say.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Grandma will come and beat the kids up and punish them for running all over your study and sitting on your favourite meranti desk to play tikam tikam also besides just pouring yakult into your monitor cos SHE thinks they should even be doing that in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Rules keep changing.

Stupid doctors!<BR/><BR/>Hey angry doc want to do a blog entry on that?<BR/><BR/>But I'd say that in Australia, the standards of what a normal, and a stupid patients is very different from Singapore. In any case the standard of patients in Australia is much higher.<BR/><BR/>In Singapore the majority of patients would fall under the category "stupid" when compared to the Australians.<BR/><BR/>I think one problem is that in Singapore we don't have the culture to be responsible for one's health. Secondly the language is a problem. Somehow things get lost in translation when explaining metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance for instance. The chinese vocabulary of many Singaporeans is not surprisingly very poor.<BR/><BR/>So in the land of the blind, the one eyed jack is King. What I'm trying to say is that if Dr Pezzi were to come to Singapore to work for a while, he'd probably lose all his hair after 1 month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1133051679487078992005-11-27T08:34:00.000+08:002005-11-27T08:34:00.000+08:00We seem to be just looking at one side of the coin...We seem to be just looking at one side of the coin and concentrating on "stupid" patients.

I suspect that we have a very good working relationship because I don't happen to be a "stupid" patient. But it is a given that day in and day out, he meets mostly "stupid" patients and if I may read his mind, he is probably wondering why he is cooped up in that clinic of his for at least 10 hours a day making what a stockbroker makes with just one deal.uglybaldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183609238273593550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1133015631092827062005-11-26T22:33:00.000+08:002005-11-26T22:33:00.000+08:00We don't all have to be Albert Schweizters or Moth...We don't all have to be Albert Schweizters or Mother Theresa to do some good in other people's lives.<BR/><BR/>Take your GP for example, uglybaldie.
