The Guy Who Puckered Up To Help Me

It was the moment of truth.

Station 4 (i think).. Examination of the Abdomen.

Even though I have paid my brother handsomely which is RM50 for using him as my practice dummy, I was scared.

Standing outside the door n reading the questions, I wonder who is my examiner. The Examination of the Abdomen is so far the longest and most complicated of all systems. Bell rings. I opened the door, I nearly fainted when I see... Dr Kelvin!!! Nnooo...he is a head and neck specialist and always look at me one kind like my head is hollow with air during anatomy labs.  Not that he is wrong. Only I hate to be the one to confirm that his assumptions are correct..

me : Smile. Good Morning Dr Kelvin.

him: Examine your patient. * hurrily looking for something*

patient: *looked surprised and pleased to see me.*

me: thinking : *yeah yeah i know i m the first malay u have seen all morning and u r not so bad looking of a malay guy too, and i am flattered by your non-verbal cues, but i need to pass, and i thank god that u are not THAT drop dead gorgeous or else i'd have problems listening to your tummy later because all i can hear is my heartbeat*

Funny how i can think all that in 2 seconds. hehehe.

me: Hi Sam..my name is Irma, a second year medical student from Monash University, and today, I have been asked by the GP to examine your abdomen. it will involve u taking off your shirt and me touching your hands, face, tummy and legs. Is it ok with u?

patient: nods.

me: thank you. smile. so can i have your hands, please?

patient:*refused to give me his hands n did his lips like he was trying to kiss me, only he is not. he is trying to kiss the table that is across the room**his eyes were also a little weird, doing this rolling things*

examiner: *didnt see what he was doing..still busy*

pUCKER up..
me: *Verry confused.* Huh??? * looked at the table and saw the solution to wash hands*

Ahhhhhhh!!! No wonder !!!!!!!!!!!!!I forgot to wash my hands!!! A terrible NO NO That can fail me!!! *wash hands, examiner gave me marks*

that time, i felt like i owed my soul to him..hahaha...the rest of the examination was pretty funny, before i even ask him to look up or down to look for pallor/jaundice, he already done it...Hahaha...

Anyway...my patient..wherever u are...thank u..!!! pucker up always....u look cute like that..ngahaha....
