Geriatrics are funny.

so i was following the specialist, the two Medical Officers (Dr. Khai, who is a senior MO and Dr. CM, who is doing what they called 'tagging' in the medical ward and is not that fluent in malay) and another two newly graduated Houseman Officers (Dr. Dee, an indian lady, quite serious and another malay male,Dr. [H] which i prefer to follow around more because he is... friendlier). we reached at bed 26, where a 72 year old malay pakcik was asleep in semi sitting position.

mind you i was more of a spectator in this scene standing by the bedside, keeping my mouth shut and observing mostly.

Dr CM: pakcik bangun.
Pakcik Yasser: *opened one eye and closed it again*
Dr CM: pakcik! bangun! doktor dah sampai ni nak tengok pakcik. *rubbing his chest with knuckles to wake him up*
Pakcik Yasser: *opened both eyes*
Dr. CM: apa maciam pakcik? ada sakit dada lagi hari ni?
Pakcik Yasser: sakitlah. doktor tekan dada saya ni. saya dah la tua.
Dr. CM: eh loyar buruk lah orang tua ni.
Pakcik Yasser: a ahhh (he was a little on the dementia side btw so this kind of response was totally expected)

Dr. CM: pakcik boleh bangun duduk sendiri tak?
Pakcik Yasser: boleh laaa.
Dr. CM: okay. cuba bangun duduk.
Pakcik Yasser: *tried to heave himself up but failed* ei kau tengok je ke? tolong lah aku ni.
Dr. CM: -__-" tadi cakap boleh bangun sendiri..  *gave helps to the pakcik*

Dr. CM: ini apa pasal pegang saja alat ni? (she was referring to this small machine thingy which was given to the pakcik for him to suck out his phlegm for lab work)
Pakcik Yasser: haaa?
Dr. CM: ini pakcik perlu hisap la bukan pegang!

*Me and others bursted out laughing*

Dr. CM: eh why you all laughing one!
Dr. Khai: it's not hisap la. it's sedut.
Dr. CM: eh tak sama ka? sedut and hisap?

at this point i was biting my own tongue to avoid myself from laughing. sumpah sakit jiwa tahu.

Dr CM: pakcik dekat rumah boleh jalan tak?
Pakcik Yasser: boleh.
Dr. CM: pakcik jalan pakai apa?
Pakcik Yasser: haaa?
Dr. CM: dekat rumah. pakcik jalan guna apa?
Pakcik Yasser: *silent*
Dr. CM: pakcik jawablah.
Pakcik Yasser: apa?
Dr. CM: *sigh* di rumah pakcik jalan pakai apa?
Pakcik Yasser: pakai kakilaaaaaaaaa!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! #winning la pakcik!
