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

It's been 2 months and 4 days and I enjoyed every day of it.

Just now, on the way back, I came to realise something. To make fun of psy patients is like making a joke about one's own mother.

The only one who has the right to make fun of the illness or the behaviour is the patient himself/herself.

Just like it's rude to call someone's mother fat or say things like, "hey I saw your mum the other day at the mall and when she waved at me, all her fats jingled, going left, right, left..."

What will you do if someone said that of your mother? I think I might pluck out all their pubic hair and force them to eat their own snort. But it's fine to tease your own mother playfully right? I know mine doesn't really mind, if she's in a good mood that is...

I'm not saying we can't laugh behind closed doors because of something the patient said/did. But calling someone siao lang(mad person) or kuku or nutcase or whatever name you can think of is very rude.

We laugh, but we still wreck our brains to think of how to help them. And we have to laugh, if you're in the healthcare industry and you don't find something funny to laugh about every day, you'll be a very miserable walking zombie in a matter of months.

And you say someone is not well, not tell them "you're still not very right up here."

And when you spend time talking to the patient and they say things like, "you're a really good person, you spend so much time and effort talking to a nutcase", the feeling you get is different from when someone outside the field, educated or otherwise tells you things like, "get out of there, why do you need to spend so much time on these crazy people?"

It takes a bigger nutcase to recognise another.

"Oh, because I'm preparing the place for you, bigger nutcase." *rolls eyes*

But seriously, to say things like psy med is a wast of time it's like asking why don't we all legalise euthanasia? Why must we spend so much time, effort and manpower on terminally ill people? Or why must we amputate someone's limbs to save their lives? Just let them die la! Everyone must die!

No one is an expensive waste of time, except stupid people. But we can always think of cures for stupidity and if all else fail, we should have a good laugh about it and live happily ever after.
