SGH (Part 2)

Read Part 1 here

330pm: the 'misi' came out to call me in saying that the doctor is out and wanted to talk to me. The doctor said the operation went smoothly :) and that my dad would be wheeled out into the ward soon.

430pm - 5pm: the doctor's SOON is really not very SOON lor. I had to wait another 1 hour and I had already logout of the computer since he said SOON. Went to the high dependency ward where he'll stay for a day or two.

5pm to 830pm: became a hotline 'staff' because got to answer all the calls from my dad's friends and entertained myself with the 'snake' and 'mahjong' games on the handphone. The ward's misi-s were really very nice and patient lor. Good!

Also damn amused when I overheard a doctor trying to communicate with another patient in the same ward:

Patient: asked the doctor something about his wound.
Doc: 'uncle I cannot speak mandarin later I ask the misi to come and translate ok?!'

And another feeble attempt to peace the uncle:

Patient: asked another question.
Doc: 'uncle I small doctor only, later you ask the big doctor when he comes ok?!'

hmmm.....tsk tsk...the quality of doctors...really...

830pm: my hubby came.
9pm: went to eat my dinner at the 'kopitiam'.
930pm: bought pao and carrot cake up for my dad in case he got hungry in the middle of the night or the next morning.
10pm: reached home..
