Some Guys Can Be Just Soooo Ridiculous!

Firstly I have to say I had such a splendid day today, Alhamdulillah. It was really a miracle coz it was so quiet today. The sisters actually call me "Dr Traffic" coz it's being so hectically busy since I've been around;)
 I've seen so many pregnant women that I think I became kinda 'desensitized' but for some reason today it just struck me that it's such an amazing experience to have a baby. As I tweeted earlier I want a baby! I told my mum that if I don't get married I'm gonna adopt a baby... she freaked out a bit. But anyway I wonder if it's ethically correct to adopt a child if you're a single mum?

Anyway driving home this afternoon (in this hectic PMB traffic), I stopped behind a car and noticed this dude looking at me in the rear-view mirror, so I just ignored him. Then I see the guy on the passenger seat turning around to look through the back window - I was not impressed and just turned to the side. The next time we moved a bit I noticed that this creep is like constantly staring from his side-mirror. So while thinking to myself about how rude some guys can be, I notice from the corner of my eye that the back wiper of his car has suddenly come on, then there's water squirted and all this while I'm just ignoring. Then he decides to squirt water from his front windscreen and so the water obviously sprayed all across mine...I can't explain how difficult it was for me not to burst out laughing! I mean can a guy act so stupidly just to get someone's attention? Stupid men......It was such a relief when I eventually had to take a different road. But seriously I can't STAND guys like this. Who said staring is halaal? How does he know if I'm married or not? One of the criteria when selecting my next husband is that he must not be a starer! LOL ;)

I Don't Know How To Respond Or What To Answer When...

People tell me;

1. "Oh you so short?"
Really people, I've lived in my body my entire life - tell me something I don't know!


2. "How old are you?"
Do I just say my age or what?(but u don't just go about asking people their ages anyway!) I already know the response is gonna be " but you look so young" as though it's so shocking!


3. "Oh so you just a GP?"
WTH!!! Do you realise what it took just to get into Med School and to stay in there for 6 years? And hey every Dr has to start off as a GP anyway!

4. "How's your husband doing?"

Oh dear where do I begin! Should I just smile and mumble he's fine or do I go into the whole history:(

Family members ask;

1. "So how much are you earning?"
Isn't that personal? Sorry uncle but I don't exactly ask you how much you earn!


2. "So how many patients have you killed already?"
That is so not a funny question.


3. "The specialist said I'm going to need this Medication/Operation/Test, you think it's necessary?"
Hey you've been to a specialist and now you asking my opinion? I'm Confused?


4."My back/finger/toe/ear/hair/any other body part.... is paining, what do you think is wrong?"
I'm flattered by your faith in me but seriously I really can't just make a diagnosis based on your vague symptoms only!


5. "So do you think this drug 'trade-name' is good?"
I'm sorry I know I'm a Dr but I don't know the trade-names of all the drugs available.


6. "I would never send my daughter to University like how your mother sent you."
I'm glad I'm not your daughter:)




Patients say:


1. "I don't have money for bus-fare or to make a call to my family"
I'm really lost when it comes to this coz I mean I wanna help but then again majority of the patients are from poor social circumstances and I can't help everybody:(

2. "But Dr am I gonna be ok?"
Ooh I just hate this:( Usually get this after having explained a condition in simple terms. Should I be honest but cruel or just give false hope???




Colleagues say:


1. "You don't watch TV!! So what do you do when you get home?"
I don't know! TV has not been a part of my life for so many years so my routine is without it, anyway.


2. "You can definitely eat these gummy sweets, its got the halaal stamp on it:)"
No I can't! Why the hell do we have to have so many halaal certifying organisations in SA and no consensus amongst them!


3. "How come Muslim guys don't drink alcohol but they are allowed to do drugs?"
No they not supposed to do either...but how do I know what makes them think drugs is a lesser sin!

4. "You don't know what you missing out by not eating bacon. You should try some when your parents are not around"
Seriously do I look that starved?? And hey it's not my parents making these rules!

I love ym kood ;)

Was just going through some things and found some stuff I had written/drawn as a kid. I laughed my head out so thought I'd share it!

It's a bit embarrassing but hey it's good to laugh at yourself, right?
