All smiles
"When you say they," said Mr U gravely. My heart beats faster and the room grows quiet.
"You really mean 'we' don't you, for you are part of this team now. You're with us now," said Mr U to me.
" Allright you following?" said the doctor to me.
Before I could reply, my resident turns to him and says,
"Oh no. She's with us."
"What do you call a vascular patient with two legs?" asked Mr C.
I answer, "Erm lucky?"
"No. Pre - op."

for the first time i have no idea what you are talking about.
*confusion mode*
I do apologise again for my lack of clarity. These quotes were things some docs said to me that have kept me smiling for a bit. :)
The first one was said by the mean surgeon i described in my previous posts. It was during the second meeting, and I had given my presentations already. I thought he was goind to shoot it down again. But instead he merely wanted to correct sentences. i used the word 'they treated' or 'they did this' but he wanted me to say 'we treated' etc because i'm now part of the surgical team.
which as a med student i don't see myself as part of anything yet, merely an observer and learner. so when he said that I think it was his way of apologising regarding previous events.
the second quote was from my resident. another doctor had asked me whether i was following him to a research meeting. but my resident told him that I was with him as in saying i'm not going because I'm now part of the surgical team and I have to follow the consultant and him around, even though it was set in my timetable that i was suppose to go for that particular meeting.
the final quote is from this vascular surgeon who has like slit eyes and asks a lot of questions and whenever you get it wrong, he will say "No."
he would never say anything more and never give anything away. he continues to say "No" until someone gets the answer right. finally during our third tutorial he actually joked. its a lame joke lah but I found it so funny because he's been so fierce with us for a long time that it made me smile.
hope that lenghty explanation helps!
oh by the way surgeons are called Mr here. they don't have a Dr prefix. because the first surgeons were not actually doctors, they were barbers. so when i refer to someone as Mr, he's a surgeon.
vascular patients are patient who have problems with their arteries or veins.
there is this saying that 90% of vascular patients smoke and the other 10 % are just lying about it.
anyway, what happens is that their arteries become constricted and that prevents blood from going to their tissues.
in very severe cases, when there is no blood to the tissues, the tissue starts to die and rot. and to prevent the toxic dying tissue which is infected from spreading into the blood that can kill the patient, they amputate the rotting leg.
pre - op : pre operation
tell us more doctor's jokes. sounds fun and intellectual. ahah.
