I could have been toppled by the touch of father when My friend's husband told me that

her Spinal Yard operation will be performed on the 30th.

May be he measured it! ound:
Attention: Yay Yem Sir, who talks about 'measuring tape', often! :attention:

 

[Raji Ram]

Someone might have cut off a portion of the 'yard stick' that V R maam's friend's husband had!

Rarely, a lady's spine will measure one yard! :dizzy:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

People want to impress with their knowledge in English
and end up giving us the creeps. :scared:

I am happy he did not say final yard.
Then I would have :faint: right away.

Another friend always says "loose" for "use!" :decision:

I know what is passing in your mind...

that I must be a loosu myself to have such friends!!! :loco:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

We can't create neighbors/friends/relatives.

We can only select them from what is offered to us! out:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I am sure this is just the starting point of a series of operations.
Her knee total replacement is over due!
Poor dear. I hope and pray she will pull through the series
and be able to walk on her own legs soon! ray:

Dear VR ji,

Once I had a patient.. a local from here who spoke with such a heavy American accent but in broken English!

She told me that she was having a Migrane.

I suddenly had a doubt if she knew what a Migrane was..cos you see she had was speaking broken English and putting on a fake American accent..so I asked her " Can you point to me where exactly is your pain?"

She pointed to her knee!

Magic squares formed with alphabets are called Templar magic squares. The letters in the first row and first column are the same. So also the letters in the second row and second column and so on. The words will make a meaningful sentence.

Ancient Romans knew about the Templar magic squares. A Templar magic square found in the ruins of Pompeii has this Latin sentence arranged in the square.

“Sator Arepo tenet opera rotas” meaning “The farmer Arepo keeps the world rolling”.

dear Renu,

May be the migraine had migrated from her head to her knees. :rofl:

I know a person who says she suffers from a strange sounding ailment

and immediately asks me, " What are its symptoms anyway?" in a

lowered voice.

I am reminded of the school days when these two squares were popular:

கரடி
ரயில்
டில்லி

சிவாஜி
வாயிலே
ஜிலேபி

Renu! It might be the migrated migraine!! :lol:

Dear RR ji,

When my elder brother was studying in USA he used to call back home and speak with usual Malaysian accent to my parents but speak with an American accent when me or my younger brother took the phone.

So we were thinking that with parents he was normal but with me and my younger bro he was showing off his American accent!

So my younger bro and I decided to speak only Malay with him whenever he called from USA.

Dear VR ji,

Once a patient was telling me to check his temperature so I used my digital infra red thermometer to check his temperature and he said to me "Doctor what are you doing? I want you to check my temperature"

I said yes wait a second it takes around a second or two to get a reading but he was still telling me "stop what you are doing and check my temperature" and he pointed to be BP(Blood Pressure) set.

Then I knew that for him Temperature meant Blood Pressure.

Then when I checked his blood pressure..he told me "what took you so long to even check my temperature..where did you get your degree from"

I asked him "which dictionary did you read that showed temperature means Blood Pressure?"

dear Renu,

For such people first you must :tape:

and then insert the thermomete
through the small opening in the center!

dear Renu,
A person with that kind of a long name
will prefer Rajeev to Raji Ram!

Dear VR ji,

Infra red digital thermometers are placed on the forehead or in the ear.
So no chance to shut such people up.

In the days where mercurial glass thermometers were used..I could have done that!

What a sweet way to deflate without actually puncturing his ego!

Dear Renu,

I read the word infra red thermometer and imagined a digital

thermometer instead - since I have not seen an infra red thermometer.
It looks more like a radar gun! :scared:

A digital thermometer

An infra red thermometer

A Radar gun!

dear Sir,
Thank you for your valuable contribution.
It will be more interesting if these words
actually form a meaningful sentence.

Perhaps he was expecting a mercury type BP monitor and mercury clinical thermometer; such laser/ infrared guns he has seen in films only must have disoriented him!!!

He must have got frightened when the radar gun was pointed onto his forehead.

He must have feared total annihilation at the hands of a lovely lady doctor!!!

Dear Sarang ji/VR ji,

Doctors don't use mercurial anymore out here.

This is the thermometer I use....same brand..Terumo.. its cute and handy. I have 2 colors pink and blue.
It fits into the size of our palm.

 

[sarang]

Both mercury type bp monitor and clinical thermometer are used here. Atleat, bp monitor.

Infrared thermometers are available for Rs 5000 from ebay. Thanks for the picture and make.

I have not (any doctor for that matter) measured my body temperature in the last 15 years. I bought one toshiba electronic thermometer in 1985; it is still working.

Mercury is banned in most of the countries; the mercury thermometer factory of hindustan lever in kodaikanal was closed in 2001. Claims for compensation for mercury poisoning are still alive.
