Loud-mouthed British patient at my night clinic today:

YOU HAVE SUCH GOOD ENGLISH!!!

Me, trying to hide my offense: Really.

ONE. The rest of us were all Asians #meanwhile here he's trying to convince me he has pancreatitis with an amylase of 125 #mate it's DOWNTRENDING you had gastroenteritis a while ago ok #if you had pancreatitis it would be sky high and you wouldn't be sitting here without abdominal pain happy as pie #misc #personal #medical happenings #medicine #doctor #my post
