kisah hidup seharian

"ye encik, boleh saya bantu?"

"saya nak antibeeotik"

"utk apa encik?"

"saya sakit tekak"

"tp encik, kalau sakit tekak saya tak rekomen makan antibiotik encik. antibiotik untuk jangkitan bakteria je encik"

"takpe, saya dah biasa makan"

"encik, kalau encik makan pon takde guna encik. dia tak sesuai, saya cadangkan ubat lain boleh?"

"takpe saya nak jugak antibeeeotik."

"betol encik?"

"betol"

malas betol layan org tua nih... (thus ill never be a great retail pharmacist)

above is part of the dilemma as a locum pharmacist, i get to meet a lot of self diagnosed and self prescribe practitioners. usually the most stubborn ones are the makcik and pakciks and some jinjang aunties who specifically want that type of brand of medicine.

i remember one time when i was doing my attachment at a retail pharmacy, one day an odd looking uncle came in, with pencilled eye brow (or was it tatooed?) with bling-bling all around he reminded me of one of those pimps on MTV.

"saya mau ubat cuci darah punya... "

"ubat apa uncle?"

"ubat cuci darah .. kasi bersih punya"

"er...?"

"ala lepas main itu perempuan, mau kasi cuci darah lah.."

wtf?

"oh... mana ada kitaorg jual ubat cuci darah uncle"

"itu merah kuning punya.. antibiootik apa?"

"oh, uncle itu bukan ubat cuci darah. tp untuk jangkitan"

"tapa tapa saya suda biasa makan..."

go die la you...i hope you penis shrivelled up and fall off tonight
