Grooming the nursing witches

One night Udin's wife woke Udin up who was in deep sleep.

Udin's wife: Honey, quick wake up.

Udin: iisssh.. what's it waking me up in the middle of the night?

Udin's wife: You had forgotten to take your medicine, quick get up, the doctor had reminded that you have to take them before going to bed.

Udin: What medicine?

Udin's wife: Sleeping pills.

Udin: @#%^#^????


Lols. Well, the medicine has got to do with CQ's next post. Read on ..

A few days ago, CQ accompanied someone to a clinic in Gadong. While waiting for our turn to be called up, CQ saw behind the counter, four female clinic assistants. As like any other days, CQ assumed they were busy with registrations, updating and so on. One of the ladies was wearing tudung while the other three were not.

What amused CQ was that the three ladies not in tudung were letting their hair in such messed-up or tangled-up or as if they had just woken up from bed and gone straight to work! CQ bet with you readers that even the 'Witches of Eastwick' could have lost the Oscars award to them huhu ..

Has grooming taken the back seat?? Though it is not an obliged requisite to be in uniforms, private clinic should however maintain their staffs' grooming standards. In medical contexts, personal grooming is the art of cleaning, grooming and hygiene practices which too, include dental, occupational, and public hygiene.

These clinic assistants were not even wearing any gloves when handling or proportioning patients' medicine! Oh my...you can see one of the assistants was touching her hair and then handled an earlier patient's medicine! Aren't clinics supposed to be an example of a public area where hygiene is strictly adhered??

CQ thinks, on CQ's next visit, CQ will definitely highlight the matter to the doctors - whom were well attired ...or maybe quiz those clinic assistants.. Aiyooohhhh
