i am me

the tummy was making weird noises this afternoon. ended up in the toilet repeatedly. so concludes my first case of lao-sai in Queensland.

hahaha...

just got back from PEC (psychiatric emergency center) in the hospital. apparently tonight was a record in their history.

no patients.

didn't get to see a single one.

it was so quiet. except for this one guy who acts crazy so that he gets to come in and get a free meal. and this other lady who was caught walking around in her underwear behind a police station. but she said she was tired and didn't want to be bothered.

so...

it was a boring night.

or...was it?

ying wei and i walked into PEC full of anticipation over what this night would give. and we weren't disappointed. not one bit.

as we walked in, we were greeted by really nice nurses and hit it off straightaway. but it gets better. we met THE doctor. and oh my word...what a doctor. he was oh..so..cute. not hot. but cute. tall, dark hair. slight 5 o'clock shadow, glasses, nice dark brown eyes, but he wore his pants in a weird way. probably because he was so tall. we couldn't help but stare and giggle everytime we looked at him. but not in front of him of course. sigh...it really helps to have someone nice to look at. so...we were chatting with him about mental health when we were interrupted.

by...

and oh..so..gorgeously macho man. at first i thought he must be a nurse since he was in jeans and had long hair and was so deliciously hunky. but then i saw his name tag and was pleasantly tickled by the 'medical' title on it. oh yum...second helpings plea-se. so he sat down with us and started to discuss patient cases with dr.Cute and so nicely let us sit in and learn as well.

but halfway through the discussion, dr.Cute had to intervene with a patient that had been waiting in the corridor. it was a 22 year old guy with a history of mental illness for the last 7 years. but only now is being treated. so it was his first psychiatric episode. he looked completely normal and very handsome. the type of guy i would look twice at on the street. tall, dark haired, nice deep set eyes, very nice nose and a very pleasant smile. so anyway...they had to give him some medication and were trying very hard to coax him into taking it even though he kept saying that he didn't want the medication. clearly he thought he didn't need it. but...oh well. they had 3 very burly security guards around him, ready to tackle him and pin him down in case they had to forcefully administer the medication. part of me was hoping that he would keep refusing and i could get to see him get aggresive. but then i felt bad for him as well. so young and already his future is so bleak. luckily he finally agreed to take the medication on his own. probably got scared by the security guards around him.

phew.

then it was back to dr.Cute and dr.Gorgeous. halfway watching the scene with the handsome patient, i casually mentioned to dr.Gorgeous how difficult it must be to coax a patient into taking medication. to which he replied it is definitely easier for a normal patient. and then he proceeded to show me how intimidating it would be if someone were to just stare at you with 3 burly security guards around. and he gave me the most intense stare as an example. and oh my LORD...his eyes! i first noticed them as a light, icy blue. but when he looked at me, they turned a magnificent shade of turquoise! *sigh* it was disarming. my hand flew to my chest in awe and sheer delight. hahaha...seriously.

all i know was, throughout the discussion with dr.Cute and dr.Gorgeous, ying wei and i kept trying to catch each other's eye just to convey our delight and euphoria over getting such magnificent specimens to be our doctors for the night.

and dr.Cute is really nice. he felt really bad that we didn't get to see any patients that he gave us a mini tutorial/grilling of the mental state exam. which was really nice of him since most doctors would just leave us there to rot anyway.

my night...is complete.
