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

I might get killed for this...

But heck, I write what I like on my blog. I took my blog address off facebook cos I find myself holding back so much. I'm trapped in the very thing that's supposed to liberate me from the constraints of daily life.

Like swearing, like being really really honest, like making very little effort to conceal my dislikes. Swearing is not really me, but sometimes, a 'bloody little piece of shit' works better then 'a parasite' or 'an irritating person.'

The oomph is just not there!

And so, for the past 2 days since coming back from my night duty, I've been stuck with this big piece of shit who's a famous troublemaker throughout the hospital.

1) He had the guts to make so many requests which includes asking for a private class diet. The nerve of him, when he owes the hospital quite a big sum of money.

2) He should just shut his bloody trap, pack his things and scramble out of a B2 ward into a C class ward. How dare he plant himself on a B2 bed when there is a cheaper alternative available and when he knows he can't pay for even the cheaper option?!

People will not be denied treatment just because they can't pay for it. But it gets my goat when people make so many unnecessary and expensive requests when they know they can't even pay for the basic ones.

And how dare he accuse the hospital's staff of being racists?

I mean, maybe some of them are like that, that we can't do much about it!

Just like how there are one too many people from the same race acting in a similar manner.

1) Overly dramatic with pain

2) Being very demanding (whether or not they can pay for it) and when their demands are not being met, accuse the hospital of being racist.

Now, if the above 2 points are criterias for being labelled an "irritating specimen", is it fair for us to label that particular race as a race of irritating specimens just because one too many of their counterparts have displayed the above 2 traits? Now, is it fair then, for us to treat irritating specimens the way they need to be treated, not the way patients should be treated?

No right?!

Therefore, is it fair to label all hospital staff as racists just because you've met too many who've been nasty to you? Have you created enough shit for them to throw back at you?

Sometimes, it is probably the mindset of certain individuals that they should be placed higher than the rest and be given VIP treatment. And when they're not being given that kind of treatment for the simple reason that they can't afford it, they kick up a huge fuss.

Expectations are a good thing, they are only bad when they're unrealistic and when the one who's making the demands cannot afford to pay for them. It's like walking into a shop demanding that they sell you a $200 item when you're prepared to pay only $20 for it.

At least ask nicely la! Like, "errm, do you think you can consider selling me this item even though I got only $20?"

No leh! He's got the guts and audacity to demand that we do it! And now who do you think you are la?

Nobody is looking down on your race. They're looking down on you. And nobody is looking down on you because of the race you belong to but how you behaved; in a stupid and rude manner.

People might forgive you if you act stupidly since not everyone is born with a high IQ. But no one should be rudely demanding. Well, unless the monkeys raised you la, then I've got nothing to say.

In this age of meritocracy, no one can make you feel stupid if you've proven, beyond reasonable doubt that you're smart.

No one should be able to tell you, "hey you're bloody stupid cos you come from a race of imbeciles" if you've proven yourself to be someone worth their salt.

*walks away mumbling away to self*

*chuckles*

A funny thought just came to me.

When I was a little newer to the ward, I used to get absolutely distressed when a patient comes up to me, mumbles something and then walks away. I'd run after them trying to find out what they just said. And I won't be able to get a logical answer from them. Ha! But these days, I kinda of accept that some patients, you may never be able to carry out a normal conversation with them without giving yourself a major headache from all the guesswork!

Maybe the hospital should sue him, for whatever reason, I don't really care. We should get our big shot lawyer to scare the shit out of him and hopefully, his imaginary lawyer will find his own way out of this man's life.

You know why we say imaginary? Because one of us saw him calling the starhub enquiry line pretending to talk to his "lawyer. "

The best part is, no he's not a psy patient. People like him are called "crazy people" Psy patients are called mentally ill, or psychiatric patients. Psy patients act the way the do because of an illness. People like him act like that because they're...crazy.
