A Doctor Who Called the Internet
In a few days' time, my 2-month holidays will be over. As I scrolled through my posts throughout the holidays, I realized that I have had zero posts under the category of "medicine", and the last "medicine" post was about the boring exams. I can't help to notice the stark contrast between my blog and Wee Loon's which is packed with medical info and experience.
Coincidentally I stumbled upon this "tech support" story via See Hua's blog. So hey, I do talk about medicine also, okay? :P
I worked in computer support for a medical staffing company. One day, a doctor called and said that he "wanted to call the Internet." I instantly knew it was going to be one of those kinds of calls. I instructed him to open his browser. "What's a browser?" he asked.Fortunately I still know the right colon.After a brief walk-through, he was ready to go. Then I told him to type in an address.
- Me: "Type 'http://...'"
- Him: "It didn't work."
- Me: "Ok, read me the address you typed."
- Him: "H-T-T-P-C-O-L-O-N--"
- Me: "No, no. Colon, on the keyboard."
- Him: "What?"
- Me: "Do you know what a colon is?"
- Him: "Of course I do. I am a doctor."
