Some people are just so funny
Today I brought my mom to the hospital for check-up. She told me something so funny about an uncle of mine.
This uncle has some chest pain in the past. After seeing my mom nearly got killed in heart attack, last month he got the 3rd chest pain, he quickly went to see the same cardiologist. The doctor checked and said that his case is a milder case, no major blockage. But due to his high level of cholesterol, the doctor gave him some medication to control.
There was supposed to be 2 different pills in the morning, and another 1 in the evening before bed.
Guess what? He double the pills, in total 6 pills, and he ate all 6 pills in 1 go. He said:
“Why so troublesome splitting this into 2 sessions? I want to get well soon, so double the pills I can get well two times faster!”
Whew! That day, his stomach bloated, had discomfort for a whole day!
Then, he blamed it on the medicine, threw them all and declare that the medicine is not good. Hahahahahaha!
But seriously, I am concerned of his health this way…

My Goodness. He could have fallen seriously ill from an overdose. The doctor should explain to him about how the medication works. Some are slow release, thats why need to split.
Is the uncle still thinking what he did was nothing wrong? He needs to be properly educated before he gets himself in trouble…
wsl: Aiyoh! So tragic?! I think the worst part is the paralized part.
MG: That’s right, he just never want to listen to others, including doctor. He thinks he is doctor himself!
Yiwen: He is very lao-chu, never wants to listen, not even to his own wife. A bit coo-coo type. Sometimes really don’t know he is a funny person, or silly person. Sigh!
