S.O.S – Sorry, Out of Sympathy

dispensaire, doctors in mauritius, hospital, ignorance, sos, UK

I’m still tryna figure out what I should do next time I step into a doctor’s office.  Either at the hospital or at the local health centre.

I smile.  I say hello.  I explain my problem thoroughly.  I ask questions.  Not stupid questions.

And still I get the ‘glare’.

The glare that says: “Another stupid, clueless creature who doesn’t know anything!” *sighs*

I get talked down to.  As if I’m a 4-year-old.  As if my head’s filled with cotton.  As if I’m a waste of space on this planet.

And the sad thing is, it happens in Mauritius only – well, that’s my experience.  Unlike in the UK, where even the nurse talks to me as if I’m made of porcelain.

Are doctors (working) in Mauritius so jaded?

Not All Changes Are Bad

blogging, jewish shrug, mauritian

I’ve certainly enjoyed many changes life has delivered on my doorstep.  Assuredly, many more changes are to come.  If changes don’t hurt me, they excite me.  My heart heartily pounds in either case.

Now, I’ve been off the blogging circle for a while.  My excuse – whenever I’m asked why I no longer put my business out there – is that I’ve lost the vibe.  Mojo, if you like.  The truth? Sheer, utter laziness. All that creative-juice-has-run-out crap was merely a pretext.

But I’m back.  Again.  For how long? Who knows? (I just shrugged.  The Jewish way.  I watch too many movies.  I just shrugged again.  Yep.  The Jewish way.)

Anyway, for an introductory post, I think that should be enough.  For now.  I’ll come back in another post.  Oh, and I, most of the times, complain a lot.  About everything.  I got a chip on both shoulders.  (Another Jewish shrug.)

Come back.  If not, go to hell. 😀
