THE bimanual
Yes, THE bimanual exam. The only thing more uncomfortable for a woman besides giving birth, a mammogram or a speculum exam.

For the uninitiated, it involves one hand over a woman's lower belly and 2 fingers from the other hand uhm, well, inside her belly. Use your imagination. And it involves the fingers inside the belly making broad sweeps left and right to locate the ovaries and the boundaries of the uterus. Again, use your imagination.

So standing at the side of the examining table, introduced myself, explained the exam, gloves and lube on, I was about to begin the exam when the dr said;

"Make sure your tongue doesn't touch the clitoris"

My partner for the exam, a cowboy (literally, no, really, he is) named Beau Blois, grows a huge ear-to-ear grin.
The patient looks up, shock all over her face, as though we just told her she had 2 hours to live.
The Dr flushes up quicker than a chinaman on alcohol *ahem ahem*
I was stopped deader in my tracks than when I saw a dangling dingle during the DRE I performed some time earlier.

"well that was a Freudian slip..." she recovers.

She had meant to say thumb. An honest mistake, but still, I discovered a whole new level of awkwardness that I never knew could possibly have existed.

Footie rambles VI
2-0

Though achieving football saturation here is amazingly difficult, and watching games isn't as fun without a hot sweaty mamak man named saleh handing you bacteria-infested food and overpriced drinks while friends complain about player's performances; there is still enough left in me to say but a somewhat diminshed

HOHOHO

It's very different without the bunch of guys yelling at the TV (as if the players could hear us) or yelling our lungs off when Man Utd scores, but I'll take what I can get.

The moment that made me jump. I love the way Riise is waving to an unknown friend in the stands.

Paul Scholes has long been my favourite player of all time, and even at his 500th game for United, the qualities he showed ten years ago don't appear diminshed in one bit. While ex-captain and limelight-lover Beckham has been relagated to the Real Madrid bench and off the national team altogether (a dumb move imo), Scholes continues to be an automatic first choice for any team in the world, even to the point where England boss Steve McLaren tried asking him back to the England team. Twice.

For those who don't know, Scholes retired from the England team a few years ago cause he wanted to spend more time with his family. It's so sweet it's diabetic. The man hates the limelight so much yet continues to grab it with his performances. One to be admired, indeed.

The other member of the current 500-games club, putting in another amazing display. Age may have taken the wings out of his boots but seems to have replaced it with impeccable timing and passing that takes the breath away. His touch remains sublime, but if it he had one flaw, it was the final pass that always let him down. Not anymore. Truly imperious. A "footballing brain" the pundits like to call it. Whatever it is, the two golden oldies of Man Utd possess it in abundance, and are displaying it for all to see.

Glory may yet come to Old Trafford again this season.

On a less ego blowing note, did anyone watch Arsenal take apart Reading? I've never been a fan but passing and plays like that have got to be admired.


Stroke unit tomorrow ~ Delirious, demented, salivating old ppl crapping themselves, here I come!

I could
write about performing vaginal inspections,
complaining about the difficulty of visualising a cervix and the most uncomfortable exam a woman probably has to undergo - the bimanual exam.

ponder the significance of life,
after having seen a man die on my first day on call, his daughter not even wanting to claim his physical remains; and having a friend's granddad pass away as well on my shift. Opening a chart and seeing the letters "DNAR" and trying to explain it to her is not easy. Not easy indeed. The clinical whispered mutterings among the staff to increase the morphine dose past the "safe" levels, because the "safe" dose isn't doing anything for his pain anymore. The removing of the oxygen mask that sustains him because he does not like the feel of a strap around his face, though doing it ensures his passing.

blog about the long days and even longer nights,
running around chasing charts, looking dumb in front of consultants, mixing up doses and medications (good thing the consultant has to cosign everything), reviewing patient... after patient... after patient... after patient... after patient... after patient...

rhyme about that penultimate quest,
LOVE,
for many, nay, more than many, of my brethren and uh... sisthren across the seas lack, wonder about, mourn this emotion.
Though seperated by hours and miles, the wonders of modern technology bridge these distances.
And though I isolate, I feel the dearth of positive energy in the face of looming cynicism.
Where have all the cowboys of our youth gone too
Where have all the flowers of our spring time withered too
Where have all the rainbows and sunshine of young infatuation faded too
only to be replaced
violently replaced
thoroughly replaced
We are getting old, friends.

Indeed.





emo emo emo emoememoemoemoe



BUT
since it's thanksgiving, I will stop moaning and be thankful,

for having the basics, a roof, 4 walls, a shirt on my back (and pants on my bum), water and food
for a family that's somewhat stable
for a cultural background that stretches into the thousands of years

for sight; that I might appreciate beauty and art
for sound; the full wonders of which I am yet to understand or quantify, I doubt I ever will
for touch; that I might know this world
for smell and taste; that I might know asam laksa, seremban ngau lam fun and durian cendol
for prose, through the weaving of which we connect

for the ability to have fun
for random laughter
for the chance to be educated, and the knowledge of my forebearers
for mental clarity (though some might argue here) and physical health

and probably most importantly,
for the many, many, many people who have coloured my life, past, present, and future; and the technology that allows me to stay in touch with them.
I would have no one to complain about my culture too
critisize bad art or good music with
enjoy senseless jokes over indomee goreng and limau ais
while yelling "GOOAAAAALLLLLLLLL"
or stress out over studies with
if it weren't for you guys.

emo!

Seriously, it was like seeing the pope get drunk and hit on random women. ok that's an exaggeration but you get the idea. This woman hardly even talks to me normally. Suddenly kena unload upon like this. Her rantings were just too entertaining to not share. Evil, uncaringly finding joy in other people's misery on my part? Most probably. But oh well.

LOL
