Heavy Security!

The picture below was taken some months ago. I went to one of the major fast food joints to buy some snacks. As soon as I parked, I notice that the fuel tank cover of the vehicle beside mine was heavily padlocked.

My first reaction was WHAT?! People would go to any length to protect their property!

My people have a blessed weekend!

Unwanted email!

This is so hilarous! I was just checking my mail and I saw this. I felt I should share it here . . .

Man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send a mail to his wife. However, he accidentally typed a wrong address, and without realizing he sent the mail.

Meanwhile somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her mail, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she fainted. The son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've reached.
I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have Computers here, and we are allowed to send mails to loved ones. I've just reached and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

I am CLAUSTROPHOBIC!

Someone who is claustrophobic has a phobia being in an enclosed place.

Have you ever been trapped (even for 1 minute) in an elevator or any othe air tight place?

That is one experience I do not like . . . because I am claustrophobic! I do not like being in an enclosed place more than necessary. Once I know that no air is getting into a place I start feeling very uncomfortable!

What is a Phobia?

Phobia = fear. That means a phobia is fear. However, a phobia is not just an ordinary fear. It is a morbid and irrational fear. A phobia is an extremely strong fear of a situation or thing. A phobic fear does not go away! Whao! If an individual has a phobia, such a person will be afraid of something (as it relares to the phobia) EVERY TIME he/she experiences it. Now that explains my behaviour when I am trapped in the elevator. . . when you are not sure of PHCN! Hey guys do you know that there is fear of PHCN? Yeah it is Electrophobia,the fear of electricity. Or maybe for the purpose of this region, it should be called "Nepaphobia." *chuckles*

. . . a doctor is also a patient!

Did you know that medical practitioners alsoo need to be attended to? Well they do. Most of us forget that these medical practitioners (Nurses, Surgeons, Dentists or even the general medical practitioner) are first and foremost humans with theirindividual human needs and feelings!

Doctors cry. . . Doctors feel pain . . . Doctors worry . . . and the list goes on. . .

This is a must read from Readers Digest!

• I was told in school to put a patient in a gown when he isn't listening or cooperating. It casts him in a position of subservience. --Chiropractor, Atlanta

• One of the things that bug me is people who leave their cell phones on. I'm running on a very tight schedule, and I want to spend as much time with patients as I possibly can. Use that time to get the information and the process you need. Please don't answer the cell. --James Dillard, MD, pain specialist, New York City

• I wish patients would take more responsibility for their own health and stop relying on me to bail them out of their own problems. --ER physician, Colorado Springs, Colorado

• So let me get this straight: You want a referral to three specialists, an MRI, the medication you saw on TV, and an extra hour for this visit. Gotcha. Do you want fries with that? --Douglas Farrago, MD

• I used to have my secretary page me after I had spent five minutes in the room with a difficult or overly chatty patient. Then I'd run out, saying, "Oh, I have an emergency." --Oncologist, Santa Cruz, California

• Many patients assume that female physicians are nurses or therapists. I can't tell you how often I've introduced myself as Dr. M. and then been called a nurse, therapist, or aide and asked to fetch coffee or perform other similar tasks. I have great respect for our nurses and other ancillary personnel and the work they do, but this doesn't seem to happen to my male colleagues. --Physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, Royal Oak, Michigan

• The most unsettling thing for a physician is when the patient doesn't trust you or believe you. --Obstetrician-gynecologist, New York City

• It really bugs me when people come to the ER for fairly trivial things that could be dealt with at home. --ER physician, Colorado Springs, Colorado

• Your doctor generally knows more than a website. I have patients with whom I spend enormous amounts of time, explaining things and coming up with a treatment strategy. Then I get e-mails a few days later, saying they were looking at this website that says something completely different and wacky, and they want to do that. To which I want to say (but I don't), "So why don't you get the website to take over your care?" --James Dillard, MD

• I know that Reader's Digest recommends bringing in a complete list of all your symptoms, but every time you do, it only reinforces my desire to quit this profession. --Douglas Farrago, MD

Prison or work . . .

Hey guys! I just saw this in my email. I found the comparism very funny, so I decided to share it here. Enjoy!

IN PRISON	AT WORK
You spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.	You spend most of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.
You get three meals a day (free).	You only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it yourself.
You get time off for good behaviour.	You get rewarded for good behaviour with more WORK!
A guard locks and unlocks the door for you.	You open all doors yourself.
You can watch TV and play games all day.	You don't get such luxury. You get fired for watching TV and playing games.
You get your own toilet	You have to share
Your friends and family are allowed to visit.	You are not permitted to speak to your friends and family.
All expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work at all	You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.

In your comparism, I would like for you to be very sincere and state the preferred!

Magic Kitchen

Everyday Bakari, (the house boy in one big house) pours himself a glass of wine from the Bar. In order to cover his act, he adds water into the wine bottle to replace went he drank. His Boss became very suspicious and decided to buy Pastis (a French wine that changes color if you add water).

In his usual manner, Bakari drank from the wine and topped it up with water (to replace what he drank).

But unfortunately for him, immediately he added water the Pastis became milky. And when the Boss came back and noticed it, he knew he had nailed Bakari. Bakari also knew that he was in trouble and decided to stay put in the kitchen when his Boss came home.

The Boss told his wife and said he would call Bakari to come and acknowledge his evil deeds. "Bakari!", he called from the sitting room.

Bakari answered: "Yes, Boss".

"Who drank my Pastis?".

No answer.

The Boss asked again: still no answer.

Then the Boss went to the kitchen to meet him there: "Are you insane or what? Why when I call you, you say "yes boss" but when I ask you a question you don't answer me? " Bakari retorted that "when you are in the kitchen you don't understand anything at all, except your name" “Is that so?” asked the boss, "Okay, you stay beside Madam, while I’ll stay in the kitchen, and you will ask me a question ". Bakari accepted.

The Boss went in the kitchen and Bakari shouted: "Boss".

He answered: "Yes, Bakari".

"Who goes into the maids’ bedroom when the Madam is not there?"

No answer.

Bakari shouted again: "Boss, I say who made the maid pregnant?"

No answer.

Third time; "Boss, I say who made the maid pregnant?"

The Boss runs back from the kitchen shouting "Wonders will never cease! Bakari, It is true, when one is in the kitchen, one does not hear anything, except ones name!
