I keep a record of the most memorable lines I hear in PGH. Some aren’t funny, of course, but they remain to have an impact on me up to this day.  To celebrate my first anniversary in PGH (08/01/17), I share with you the top ten lines I overheard at the Department of Neurosciences as of July 2017. 🙂

1. Caregiver: Straight ka ba? (Straight 16hr duty pala.)
2. Patient: Nurse, nag-iinit ako. Two weeks na kaming walang…(censored).
3. Patient: Masakit ka tumusok. Masasaktan asawa mo niyan.
4. MD: Kumusta ka sir? Ay kumusta pala yung pasyente?
5. MD: Ang point ko mali ang bilang mo!
6. Caregiver: Kailangan niya makarinig ng scientific terms para kumalma.
7. RN: Bahala kayo. Mag-SL ako bukas. (Kahit parang hindi siya sick. Huhu.)
8. RN: Bago ka pa lang. Wala kang karapatang mapagod! (Earned right ang mapagod.)
9.  Patient: Nurse, bakit ganito pa rin itsura ko? Hindi na ba magbabago ‘tong mukha at katawan ko? (Major body transformation pala ang gusto.)
10. Caregiver: Nurse, pa-sanction (suction).
