Just Another Day...

Today's ENT tutorial was quite the fun one. I dint fall asleep the whole time (perhaps I did dose off a little bit near the end).

At the start, it was the fact that after ages, we had a doctor who was actually interactive. But it was limited just to the introductory portion of the tutorial. Towards the end, it became one of those boring reading sessions, where you just want the doctor to STOP!

However, what helped keep my attention was his very peculiar way of spelling certain words. It was too hilarious, I dint want to miss it by falling asleep.

For example, he kept saying 'through out'.
"They present with dry through out, fullness of through out...."
And I kept wondering, what does that mean? It took me a while, but I soon realized he was trying to say 'throat'. He just cut it into 'thro' and 'at' which sounded like 'through out'.

The one that cracked me up the most was when he said 'tung you'. This was simply way too much. Apparently, he was trying to say 'tongue'. Again you can see, it was broken down to 'tong' and 'ue'.

And then there was the whole 'region' thing.
"And no matter what the region is.. they just keep doing for every region they can think of.."
Apparently this meant 'reason' and not the actual word 'region'.

I was caught off guard when he said 'piss'.
"You never take out just one piss.. you have to take out the whole piss at a time.."
Yup, piss it was. Stood for 'piece' by the way.

Besides all the hilarious words, which made us burst into laughter and then try to suppress them by coughing and covering our faces... there were the sudden change of topic from tonsillitis to the great mosques of Iran.

Suddenly, during his presentation appears a picture of a Mosque in Iran. He even explained one of them. The picture was of a wall in one of the mosques. There were several arched hollow portions in the wall, all of which were empty. He explained how the mosque was built 50 years ago and there used to be a lot of stuff in those empty spaces, and now he didnt know what happened to them. And then he continues with the rest of the presentation. I dont think any of the pictures had anything to do with the presentation. (I have noticed this to be a persian style of some sort, to have random pictures of stuff - for example, flowers, kittens, babies, mosques, landscapes - in the middle of their presentations)

Also, I recall a point during which the doctor said..
"You probably give him Penicillin or another blah blah medication..."
I simply could not believe he just said 'blah blah'. But he did! Everyone else heard it too. :o

These Persian doctors... some of them are very very weird. *shudder*
