In My Father's Footsteps

Learning that there is much more to medicine than diagnosis and treatment.

ROADKILL

Had such a stressful time driving to work this morning. At the NPE, this driver (a lady) swerved her Kembara into my lane like she was a close relative of Alex Yoong or something and nearly crashed into my car. I honked at her like there is no tomorrow. At least she had the decency to raise her hand in apology (I didn't see any middle finger, so I assume it was an apology) and thereafter she kept a far distance behind my car (she must think I am some psychopathic road bully with an M16 in the car or something). That got my adrenaline up.

And before I could even breathe a little easier, there is this ICU nurse who probably had a bad night and has a death wish or something. She just came out of a junction right in the path of my car (which was accelerating uphill). I was this close to turning her into organic compost on the road. I actually got really angry and glared at her. I don't think she saw much of my glare; tinted glass do diminish glares I guess. If looks could kill..... And I don't think she was even remotely apologetic. In fact she looked a little disappointed that I didn't hit her. What is wrong with these people???

I've had a stressful weeekend. And what a way to start off the week! Sigh! I do soooooooooooooo need the Beijing trip!

Inhale.....exhale, I feel better already. To the wards...

    Thanks my dear fellow traveller. I guess it's just one of those days. Felt a lot better already. Thank God the ward isn't full which is a surprise really. :-)
