Follow up

hey ppl, this post is just a continuation of my last post on the other blog i used to write on
http://www.11th-colony.blogspot.com/ the blog my colleagues set up for my batch of medic students.
many have labelled me with a cynical point of view, i am just trying to say things for the benefit of everybody.
if you read what i wrote and what people commented, if you are of capable mind, you would laugh cuz its really funny actually. its like a story i am going to tell you,

there are 2 friends, labu and labi
labi doesnt shower very often and kinda smells,
so labu says to labi 'labi you smell bad' with the hope that he might take a shower
but labi ends up getting upset, he doesnt care that labu had a point
so he starts to look for something to say back to labu and he finds it.
he notices that labu is wearing a pair of mismatched socks,
so he yells 'your socks dont match!' and completely ignores that he needs a shower
in the end the world is a smellier place

people who commented in such a way on my previous posts have an immaculately small mind and i hope you seek help because many doctors are considered leaders in communities and are EXPECTED to have certain qualities that make them unique and admirable, these are words from a great man, Prof Dato Dr Roslani who founded the medical school in USM and is currently the dean of medic pharm and nursing of UCSI. some of the comments i read were quite saddening, i thought i was the kid in the class.

my point of medic students being too noisy in the hospital does have a basis and an example of a result to such behaviour. my own mother was at a dental clinic several months back, the dentist lady had a suction tube and a scaling metal thingy in my moms mouth and was yapping away merrily with one of the nurses, laughing heartily and not giving a damn about my mom other than getting the job done which most probably could be better if she had focused on her patient. hurmmmm i wonder how her attitude must have been when she was a student to lead to such a messed up doctor.

i sincerely hope there will be a change for the better in my class, there already was notable quietness in classes after my earlier post. haha. objective achieved, although its a shame that so many times thr have been other ppl politely reminding the batch to be quiet over the past 1yr plus to no avail

comments are appreciated.
for anybody who is offended, grow up.

  1. uhh...at least u realize the world is like that. human being has the ego-defense mech, which differs from person-person. in stead of saying "labi u smell bad", labu can actually say, with sincere tone "labi i think u will smell better if u shower". only just by altering one simple sentence, labu might not turn out to be yelled of. plus, labi might also pay more attention to labu.

    cant expect the whole world has a mind like yours. anyway my prev comment was not directed only to you. hope u understand.

  2. dear drizzy,
    thank you for the comment.
    you can hope that people respond more positively to kindness and bla bla, but has nobody ever said in class that we should respect lectures? evidently kindness is taken for granted in this case.
    going back to the case of labi, ideally he would respond how you said but more probably would reply like 'oh thanks' then forget everything after one shower. haha thats too deep for labu and labi.
    more importantly, an open mind should be able to accept criticism positively without deflecting. would you agree my friend? i would not change anything i wrote, if even just a few truly understand, its enough to make a difference

  3. Heiy..i've been following the 11th-Colony's. And ur post on bising2 kat hospital was really impressive. Outspoken and honest intentionally to ADVICE but not to DESPISE people.

    I juz thought that people should accept other's opinion, justify, think and sape2 yg makan cili terase pedas tu hanya perlu change. That's all. End of story and outsiders will feel that u guys are good in readily change for a better fella. Kan? :)

  4. yr always gonna have ignorant ppl like the ones above in the world. theyre always gonna be coming in yr direction and giving everyone hell. maybe if you choose to ignore it, think of it as you're better off than them. : ) if they can accept other ppl's opinions, and if theyre not open minded to other thoughts, then i personally dont think they will get far in life. lots of ppl who accept and appriciate others' views are defo much friendlier too.

    but anyways, i agree with what drizzy said. humans are humans. everyone can get offended easily.

    hope that helps. happy new year!
