“Excuse me nurse please where is the Doctor?”

You are looking at her.
“You want to specialize? When you haven’t found husband?”

Who husband epp?
“Aunty please help us call the main Doctor”

Please explain yourself
“Small girl like you, so you mean you are a doctor?”

Who are you calling small girl?
“Aunty Doctor, Aunty nurse”

It’s just Doctor, please
“Ehn I know you are not a nurse just help me call the male Doctor”

Better face your front
1. When you are rolling in pain and they are busy asking you questions calmly as if you are not about to die.

2. When the doctor is smiling at you like a predator so you know your life for the next few days is ruined and stinky.

3. When they say your problem is a “minor issue” but their bill is still a major headache!

4. When they bring out a big axe after telling you “it’s just a small injection”.

5. When they don’t warn you about the terrible taste of some medicines when they ask you to take them.

6. When they introduce you to some human beings that are meant to be nurses but they behave like witches.

7. When they say “small surgery” as if such a thing exists.

8. When they start asking you about next of kin so now you know they are colluding to kill you.

9. When you feel better and want to thank your God in peace but the doctor starts looking at you somehow.
1. When you have to go to the doctor again.

2. When the doctor asks if you are sexually active, you’re like:

3. When you have to undress in front of him/her.

4. When the doctor eventually finds out the source of your issues and it’s sexual.

5. When you have to ask for advice on sex and STD’s.

6. When you realise they’re actually cool and treat you like the adult you are.
