Dr Teh: So, what’s the case just now?
Me: Ovarian cyst. Scheduled for laparascopic cystectomy. Right?
Dr. Teh: Hmm. Tell me the complications the woman might develop.
I was not the least flustered. When I was in 2nd year, I computed the complications of ovarian tumours into my mind, using a mnemonic. Confidently, I answered.
Me: Erm. Torsion. Rupture. Haemorrhage. Malignant change. Infection.
Dr. Teh: Tell me a few things that are suggestive of malignancy.
Me: Elevated serum levels of CA 125? Loss of weight and appetite?
Dr. Teh: My dear, you don’t jump. When you want to present things, present them in order. Firstly, history. Secondly, physical examination. Then only you come to investigation and so on.
Me: Oh! Ok lor.
I spent the session allocated for ward work today in Dr. Teh’s clinic with another course-mate. It was indeed an honour to be with him. The 2-hour session was educational and absolutely entertaining. He taught us lots of stuff, which was something not every specialist or medical officer would be willing to do. Can’t blame them. Perhaps their workload is so heavy that the sight of a bunch of inquisitive medical students disrupts their mood.
And guess what? Dr. Teh attracted me. Hehe.
He is an obstetrician and gynaecologist in his mid 30s. A little bit fleshy, but neither too slim nor too fat. Someone with the body mass index (BMI) of 26.5 Kg/m2, I would say. Just nice. He is not stylish. His hair is neatly combed, just like other geeky- and nerdy-looking doctors in the hospital. Yet, that does not obscure the authentic beauty of his face. He’s handsome. His smile mesmerizes me. And I bet he will look damn appealing if he were a little bit slimmer, or muscular. I actually fantasized about making out with him when I was in the clinic.
Apart from that, he does not speak Mandarin. A typical banana. Only did I realize that when he was removing the ring pessary from the pussy of a Chinese woman with uterovaginal prolapse and started conversing with her in Malay. And I was asked to explain to him a few Chinese words which he did not understand.
Anyway, I really do appreciate him for his humility and willingness to teach. And I’ll find out whether or not he is married.
careful, it's like forbidden apple... :P
ReplyDeleteOh tht wuz dirrty eh, and find it xoo technical reading. The terms are just inch of my brains damage. sike.

Wait till you do your houseman rotation in O&G, you could never shake off that liquor amnii stench! anyway, advice from me is that, ' a good dog never shits in his own backyard'! enough already & ONLY to fantasize abt colleagues or everyone else at work ok, nothing more. way too risque.
