About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Will saying 'thank you' kill someone?

Will die or not? How much gold will fall out from your mouth?

I've got something against doctors who do not say thank you after you help them with something. I don't expect them to bow down to worship me but sometimes acknowledging the effort is cool, you know? A smile or a nod would do too. How many seconds will that take?

When I met a surgeon who thanked me when I helped him with his gown, who asked for stuff with a 'please' and thanking you after receiving it, I wanted to make him my idol. He did all this, IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OPERATION! This doesn't mean the op was a simple one, this shows that no matter what, you always have time to acknowledge someone if you want to.

And he's not those small fry surgeon, he's the experienced kind, with the aura of a big boss. All through the long and tedious op, he was like jolly old Santa, talking and laughing merrily. And yes, the op WENT WELL!

An operation/operating theatre is not really what you see on TV. The layout is pretty much the same but the scriptwriters make such a cool thing appear lame. People in the operating theatre do not run helter skelter and start panicking the moment something abnormal happens. They're usually quite calm and steady. They're not slow in saving the patient, just 'steady'. And the nurses are not those 'extras' that follow dumbly behind the doctors.

'People might forget what you've done or said to them but they'll never forget how you made them feel.'
