I can still vividly remember how the senior medic shoved a rectal probe up his rear end to measure the rectal temperature.
Me and my Aussie colleagues, we use the term 'bugger' a lot to describe patients who are 'bugging' us.Originally posted by the Bear:the origin of the word was from 'buggery' which is 'sodomy'
it became used by crude people who used it to swear at others in the same was as 'you faggot' now..
widespread use tamed the term.. until it became the 'informal' meaning..
hmm.. you've just referred to av as a 'sodomite'
i wonder what 'Jim' has to say
He preferred the other meanings one, ok! Not me, ah!Originally posted by av98m:
The thing is...Originally posted by Rhonda:
Y'know, way before Tympanic thermometers were invented, babies often had their temperatures taken via the rectal route. Punishment for being squirmy, restless, teething, and well, being crybabies!

... the senior medic didn't apply any KY jelly to the rectal probe.

The hubster is from here. He's lived in Sg for 3 years when we were stationed there and he thinks that life in Sg is better than life here. Here you have to worry about drugs, high crime, sex offenders, etc. We worry about that since we have two pre-teens. There's more but this is just off the top of my head.Originally posted by av98m:oh! why?
Congrats on your good grades!Originally posted by fudgester:My results (name and matriculation number pixellated out, of course):
My point average has dropped slightly (it was 4.13 out of 5 last semester), but I'm not complaining.
I honestly expected it to be worse.
Well, I'm glad that I know not the smell of rotting sewerage because sewerage doesn't remain around long enough to start rotting in my habitat.Originally posted by the Bear:you sure?
the smell comes from sulphur which the atrocity is overflowing with
that's where the smell of rotting sewerage comes from
I have a couple of friends like that too. Celiac disease suffers. Poor things. The lengths she has to go through on a simple grocery shopping trip is just so tedious.Originally posted by Rhonda:
I have an American friend who used to be a Singaporean, and she developed a nasty wheat intolerance and gluten intolerance late in life, which means that now, she cannot touch anything with rice, wheat, or any other grains in them! No flour, no bread, no rice, no noodles!!
Torture, sheer torture!!
Well, as long as he likes local food and the 2 of you can deal with the horrendously overcrowded conditions in Singapore, which are only going to get worse...........Originally posted by jetta:The hubster is from here.

Depends on how you define "good". I'm just suffering from a bout of self-pity, asking existential questions, etc. Wondering if life there is better than life here, etc.Originally posted by elindra:Oh why jetta? Isn't live good overthere or is it for the kids?
Morning folks!
I'd rather lead a sheltered life if it means that I'll never have to 'venture anywhere where sewerage backs up and rots'!Originally posted by the Bear:then i'm glad that your shel... uhh..
