“Doctor, can I please not have this baby tonight?” 😂

This is a true story.

I was still an intern when I was posted to Obstetrics. That night, I was on duty in the delivery room. And that day happened to be the 14th day of the seventh lunar month.

That evening, a Chinese mother was wheeled into the delivery room. Her water had broken, her contractions were getting stronger, and the baby was clearly on the way.

The moment she saw that I was Chinese, she asked me, very anxiously:
“Doctor, can I please not have this baby tonight?”

I froze. Huh?

The baby’s already on the way out, and now she’s asking me if she can… not have it?

While I was still trying to process what she meant, she said, very seriously:
“Tonight the gates of hell are wide open!”
“I don’t want my baby to be born tonight.”
“Doctor, can’t you do something? Can you slow him down?”

That’s when it clicked.

She was worried the baby would be born on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month. And what made it even harder to keep a straight face was what she said next:
“My in-laws are definitely going to be upset…”

I was still just an intern back then. Of course, I knew that when a baby decides to arrive, it’s not exactly up to the doctor. But looking at this anxious mother, I could hardly say:
“Sorry, you’ll have to tell the baby to wait until tomorrow.”

So all I could do was reassure her, as sincerely as I could:
“Try not to worry, Mama. We’ll take good care of you and your baby.”

As for when the baby actually decided to show up…that was never something a doctor could arrange.

In the end, the baby was born safely.

Whether it was still the 14th or not…Honestly, I don’t remember anymore.But I’ve never forgotten the look on that mother’s face.It was after that day that I slowly understood something.

What a patient brings to a doctor is never just a medical problem. Sometimes, it’s the traditions she grew up believing in, the expectations of her family, and a worry in her heart that she can’t quite put down.

Medicine can tell us what science says.But respecting someone’s beliefs doesn’t mean you have to share them.

Helping someone feel at ease while still doing what needs to be done medically - those two things can happen at the same time.

Of course…if the baby really had decided to arrive that night, on the 14th..there wasn’t much we could do except say:
“Welcome to the world. Right on schedule.” 😂

“医生，我可以不要今晚生孩子吗？”😂

这是真人真事。

我还是实习生的时候，被派到妇产科实习。那时候刚好轮到我在产房值班。而那一天，刚好是农历七月十四。

晚上，一位华人产妇被推进产房。羊水已经破了，宫缩也越来越强，眼看宝宝就快要出来了。她一看到我是华人，马上很紧张地问我：
“医生，我可以不要今晚生孩子吗？”

我当时整个人愣住,心里想：蛤？

孩子都已经准备出来了，现在才问我可不可以不要生？
我还在努力理解她的意思，她又很认真地说：
“今晚是鬼门大开啊！”
“我不要孩子今晚出来。”
“医生，你想想办法，可以让他慢一点吗？”

我这才恍然大悟。

原来……她是担心孩子在七月十四出生。

更让我哭笑不得的是，她还补了一句：
“我家公家婆一定会不高兴的……”

那时候的我还是实习生。我当然知道，宝宝什么时候出生，真的不是医生说了算。但面对一个已经紧张到不行的妈妈，我总不能跟她说：
“没办法，叫宝宝等明天。”

所以我只能很认真地安慰她：
“妈妈，你先不要紧张，我们会照顾好你和宝宝。”

至于宝宝什么时候决定出来……这个真的不是医生可以安排的。

后来宝宝还是顺顺利利出生了。至于是不是在七月十四……老实说，我已经忘了。但我一直记得那位妈妈当时的表情。

那天以后，我慢慢明白了一件事。

病人来到医生面前的，从来不只是一个医学问题。
有时候，还有她从小相信的传统、家人的期待，和她自己心里放不下的担心。

医学可以告诉我们什么是科学。但尊重一个人的信仰，不代表你必须相信同一件事。

让她安心，同时把该做的医疗做好,这两件事，其实可以同时发生。

当然……如果宝宝真的决定七月十四晚上出来，我们也只能说：
欢迎你准时报到。😂

“Natural” doesn’t always mean safe.
Especially when it’s taken together with medication.

Worth sharing with your parents or anyone who takes supplements. ❤️

"Saya Makan Semua Sekali, Doktor. Senang.”

Pesakit ini datang bersama anak dia. Dalam tangan dia, ada satu kotak ginkgo biloba yang baru dibeli daripada kawan lama yang dah kenal hampir 20 tahun.

“Ni vitamin, Doktor. Kawan saya jual. Dia kata bagus untuk jantung, sendi, dan darah.”

Lepas tu dia keluarkan lagi lima jenis dari dalam plastik. Sirap warna-warni, kapsul minyak ikan, serbuk herba… semuanya sekali dengan ubat darah tinggi dan aspirin yang saya preskripsi bulan lepas.

Saya tanya, “Awak ambil semua ni sekali dengan ubat saya?”

“Ya, Doktor. Sekali gus. Senang.”

Saya diam sekejap.

Ginkgo biloba...Saya dah beberapa kali jumpa pesakit yang mengambilnya bersama aspirin tanpa sedar bahawa kombinasi ini boleh meningkatkan risiko pendarahan.

Saya tanya siapa yang jual.

“Kawan lama, Doktor. Dah kenal 20 tahun. Dia kata semua ni natural. Bagus untuk ingatan, bagus untuk peredaran darah.”

Saya cuba terangkan.

“Natural” tak semestinya bermaksud selamat untuk diambil bersama ubat lain. Sesetengah herba dan suplemen boleh mengubah kesan ubat yang kita makan. Ginkgo, contohnya, boleh meningkatkan kecenderungan untuk berdarah apabila diambil bersama ubat tertentu seperti aspirin.

Dia dengar. Tapi saya nampak pada muka dia,dia masih tak pasti nak percaya siapa.

Doktor yang dia jumpa 10 minit sebulan… atau kawan yang dah kenal 20 tahun dan setiap bulan jual dia “vitamin”. Anak yang duduk di sebelah pun diam saja.

Saya masukkan balik semua botol dan kotak itu ke dalam plastik.

“Jangan buang. Tapi buat masa ni, jangan ambil dulu. Kita tengok satu-satu apa kandungannya dan sama ada selamat diambil bersama ubat awak.”

Kalau anda atau ibu bapa anda mengambil apa-apa suplemen, herba atau “vitamin kawan jual”, bawa sekali bila jumpa doktor.

Jangan lupa beritahu doktor apa yang anda ambil.

Sebab ,"natural" pun boleh berinteraksi dengan ubat.

Kadang-kadang saya tertanya-tanya…

Berapa ramai lagi yang sedang mengambil “vitamin yang bagus untuk kesihatan” setiap hari, tanpa tahu apa yang berlaku bila semuanya masuk ke dalam badan bersama-sama?

“我全部一起吃，医生。比较方便。”

病人今天和孩子一起来看诊。手里还拿着一盒刚从老朋友那里买来的银杏（Ginkgo biloba）保健品。

“这个是维他命来的，医生。朋友卖给我的。他说对心脏好、对关节好、对血液循环也好。”

接着，他又从袋子里拿出另外五六种东西。

五颜六色的保健饮料、鱼油胶囊、草药粉……还有我上个月开给他的降血压药和阿司匹林（aspirin），全部放在一起。

我问他： “这些你都跟我的药一起吃吗？”

“对啊，医生。全部一起吃，比较方便。”

我停了一下。

银杏。我已经不止一次遇到病人把银杏和阿司匹林一起吃，却不知道这样的搭配可能会增加出血的风险。

我问他是谁卖给他的。

“老朋友咯，医生。认识20年了。他说这些都是天然的。对记忆力好，也可以帮助血液循环。”

我慢慢跟他解释: “天然”，不代表和其他药物一起吃就一定安全。 一些草药和保健品会影响药物的作用。像银杏，如果和阿司匹林这类药物一起服用，可能会增加出血的风险。

他听了。可是看着他的表情，我知道他心里还是有点犹豫。

到底应该相信谁？是一个月只见他十分钟的医生….还是一个认识了20年，每个月都卖“保健品”给他的老朋友？ 坐在旁边的孩子也一直没有说话。

我把桌上的瓶瓶罐罐，一个一个放回袋子里。

“先不要丢。但是暂时也先别吃。我们先一个一个看清楚里面有什么成分，再确认能不能跟你现在的药一起服用。”

如果你或你的父母平时有吃任何保健品、草药，或者朋友介绍的“天然维他命”，下次看医生时，不妨一起带过来。也记得告诉医生，你平时到底还吃了些什么。

因为天然的东西，也可能和药物产生相互作用。

有时候我也会想…… 到底还有多少人每天都在吃着所谓“对身体很好的保健品”，却从来不知道当这些东西和药物一起吃进身体里，会发生什么？

“I’m here too.”❤️

“Mum, I’m Here Too.”

Today, a mother brought her daughter to see me.

She showed me a drawing. There were four people in it: a father, a mother, a little boy, and a girl. The girl was standing alone in the corner, with no expression on her face.

“That’s my daughter,” the mother said. “I found this drawing in her school bag, and it really worried me.”

Her son has autism. Over the years, much of the family’s life has revolved around him — therapy, appointments, emotional meltdowns, and the many challenges at school. The parents have been doing everything they can to hold things together.

And the older sister has always been the “good” one. Quiet, understanding, rarely complaining, and hardly asking for anything. Perhaps she knows that her little brother needs more of Mum and Dad.

But that day, I kept looking at the girl standing in the corner of the drawing. All alone. And she had drawn herself smaller than everyone else.

I couldn’t help but wonder: When one child needs so much of you, what happens to the quiet child who needs you too?

No one has done anything wrong. The parents are already doing their best, and her little brother is not to blame.

But perhaps this drawing is simply a gentle reminder:

We may not always be able to give every child the same amount of time, but we can still make each of them feel equally loved.

Sometimes, it doesn’t take much.

Ten minutes together.
A short walk.
A hug.
Holding her hand.

Or simply asking, every day:

“How was your day?”
“Is there anything you want to tell Mum and Dad?”

I don’t think she wants her parents to love her brother any less.

She just hopes that while Mum and Dad are busy caring for him, there is still a little space in their hearts for her too.

A space that tells her:

“I’m here too.”

And that Mum and Dad still see her.

You matter.

You always have. ❤️

“妈妈，我也在这里。”

今天，一位妈妈带着女儿来看诊。

她给我看了一张画。画里有四个人：爸爸、妈妈、一个小男孩，还有一个女孩。那个女孩独自站在角落，没有表情。

“那是我女儿。”妈妈说。“我在她的书包里看到这幅画，很担心。”

原来，她的儿子患有自闭症。这些年，全家人的生活几乎都围绕着弟弟 - 治疗、复诊、情绪爆发，还有上学的种种挑战。爸爸妈妈已经拼尽全力，努力撑住这一切,而姐姐一直都很乖，很懂事 。 她不太抱怨，也很少要求什么;也许她知道，弟弟需要爸爸妈妈多一点。

但那天，我一直看着画里那个站在角落的女孩,孤零零的。而且，她把自己画得比谁都小。
我忍不住想：当一个孩子需要你那么多的时候，那个安静地也需要你的孩子，怎么办？

没有人做错了什么。爸爸妈妈已经很努力，弟弟也没有错。但也许，这幅画只是轻轻地提醒我们,我们未必能给每个孩子一样多的时间，但可以让他们感受到一样多的爱。

有时候，不需要很多。
十分钟的陪伴
一起散个步
一个拥抱
牵一牵她的手

或者每天认真地问一句：

“今天过得怎么样？”
“有没有什么想跟爸爸妈妈说的？”

我想，她并不是希望爸爸妈妈少爱弟弟一点。

她只是希望，在爸爸妈妈忙着照顾弟弟的时候，心里还留着一个小小的位置给她,让她知道：

“我也在这里。”

而爸爸妈妈也看见了。

你，很重要。

一直都是。 ❤️

👻 Doctors Believe in Ghosts Too?

Today, an aunty suddenly asked me a very serious question: "Doctor, do you believe in ghosts?"

Without even thinking, I said, "Of course."
She looked genuinely surprised. "Really?! I thought doctors don't believe in these things!"

I laughed and told her, "Doctors are human too. It's perfectly normal to have our own beliefs, as long as we don't become overly superstitious."

She nodded, then leaned a little closer and lowered her voice.
“Doctor... when you used to work in the hospital, did you ever see a ghost?"

Hmm. I thought about it for a moment. "Luckily, no." 😂

Back when I used to do oncall in the hospital, walking around at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning was completely normal. Some nights, after working for hours, I was honestly too exhausted to be scared of anything.

There was a small room where we could rest, and the mortuary was just nearby. When I first found out, I remember thinking, "Har? The mortuary is right there?"
But whatever lah. If there's a bed, I'm sleeping. Lights off, blanket on.

Any strange noises outside? Don't know.
Anything "else" nearby? Don't know.
There was only one thought in my head: please, don't let anyone call me.

Because the scariest thing about a hospital night shift was never a ghost.
It was finally falling asleep at 3 a.m. and suddenly someone bursts through the door: "DOCTOR! The patient has no heartbeat!"

Ghost? What ghost?
Ghost Month? What Ghost Month?
Put on your shoes and RUN!

So if you ask me, "Doctor, weren't you scared of seeing a ghost during night shifts?" all I can say is, if a ghost appeared, I'm not sure whether I'd run.
But if a nurse shouted "DOCTOR!" at 3 a.m., I would definitely run. 😂

Happy Ghost Month.
Respect tradition, respect different beliefs.

And to all my fellow doctors on call this Ghost Month, may your nights be peaceful, your calls be few, and your biggest wish come true: "Please, no Code Blue tonight."

👻 医生也相信有鬼？

今天有位 aunty 突然很认真地问我："医生，妳相信有鬼吗？
“我想都没想："相信啊。"她整个人愣了一下。
“真的哦？！我以为你们医生都不相信这些的！”
我笑着说："医生也是人啊。有自己的信仰很正常，只要不要太迷信就好。"

她点点头，然后突然靠过来，小声问："那医生……妳以前在医院，有没有见过鬼？"
嗯。我认真想了一下。"幸好没有。" 😂

以前在医院值夜班，凌晨两三点、三四点到处走，其实是家常便饭。有时候忙了一整晚，真的累到什么都不怕。

以前有个可以休息的小房间，旁边不远就是停尸房。第一次知道的时候，心里还是："Har？停尸房在旁边哦？" 后来值班值到半夜，管他的，有床就睡。灯一关，被子一盖。

外面有没有声音？不知道。
旁边有没有"东西"？不知道。
脑袋里只有一个念头：拜托不要有人叫我。

医院夜班真正让医生害怕的，从来都不是鬼。是凌晨三点，好不容易刚刚睡着，突然有人推门："DOCTOR！病人心跳停了！
“鬼？什么鬼？
七月？什么七月？鞋穿了就跑啦！

所以如果你问我："医生，在医院值夜班不怕遇到鬼咩？"

我只能说，鬼出现，我不确定我会不会跑。
但护士凌晨三点喊一声"DOCTOR！"，我一定跑。😂

七月鬼节快乐。

尊重传统，也尊重不同的信仰。

最后，送给这个鬼月还在医院 on call 的医生同事们，愿大家七月平平安安，电话少响几次，也希望你们最的愿望可以实现：“拜托……今晚不要 Code Blue平平安安。
