Ada berak dari bawah?

Yes, it was an incident in the hospital since I'm still at the hospital

Yes...since 11 this morning.

I do not know whether to laugh at the statement or to just keep it to myself. Maybe I'm too serious in correcting one's use of words. (uih..I correct myself and allow others correct me too oh-kay?)

Doctor: Apa khabar pakcik? hari ni okay ah?

Pakcik: erm..urgh...okla..sikit sikit...arh..

Doctor: So, hari ni ada berak dari bawah?

Pakcik: emm...ada tapi berair-air...

I was not eavesdropping...the doctor spoke very loud, he thought all old people a bit pekak so he talked loud loud lo. So, it was not my intention to know if the pakcik "berak dari bawah" or not. I was stunned for a moment...(u know like macam kena lightning and freeze sekejap mcm tu) and then a "huh?" popped up in my head.

That statement is very misleading...it could mean;

All this while Pakcik could have been going...

• dari sebelah kanan
• dari sebelah kiri
• dari belakang
• dari atas?? aaaarrrhhhhhh!!!euuuu!!

I guess the pakcik was too exhausted from the pain to even notice.

I feel bad having to post this because kesian la the pakcik kena like that by the doctor kan? but my main objective here is to criticize some/most of the young practitioners nowadays. They lack empathy. Not very good in BM...so when they talk to Malay speaking patients, they sound funny and lose their credibility because of that.

SO, What's next?
En,Cik,Mr,Mrs,Miss,Tuan,Puan...

ada makan dari bawah?
