doktor2

"jom main doktor2"
"eh, nak main doktor2 pulak? knape?"
"ala, nnt kalo dh besar, senang sikit nk jd doktor sbb dh tera"

It was a summers day, scorching ray shining through the window, heating the room up to a total blaze. I was sweating, with just my pants on. The wind was howling through the window but to no avail in cooling this sweaty, clammy figure. It was so bright outside that I had to wince just to make out the shape of a car whizzing by. Mannikins outside were barely clothed, pacing up and down the sidewalks with radios ablast. Barbecue smoke was everywhere, each house with sunbathers on their front lawn. All baked up to a crimson.

You sat there, with your silver-with-a-blue-hue stethescope around your neck, sleeves rolled up and ready as ever. Hair tied back, it was nice to see such a decent figure, so eager to get involved into a hectic world at such a budding age. If I could pause time, I would've done so. I wanted to be there forever,in between playworld and reality. But life just unfolds, no matter how hard you try. Minute pearls of sweat emerged on ur forehead, above your upper lip and lightly dampening your temples. An image of diligence I store in my mind. You inspire me in every little way, but you hardly realise it.

"duduk, doktor nak dengar bunyi jantung"

Soaked in perspiration and fatigue, I sat up and slouched forward. You said it would help you hear the heart better. I admire your knowledge, we were too young to know all that but you showed such maturity. You fret and worry and let anxiousness bury you six feet under. All the while not realising what a gem you are. You have so much potential inside you, you can shine but you supress all that under that timid look, that frantic wave of a nervous hand. But its good to be your patient, because of you I don't want to fall behind.

I was your doll, your dummy, your mute simulated patient and I was happy to be so. You rolled me around, palpating and pointing to the 9 areas of the abdomen and guessing the organs underneath. I smiled and closed my eyes, it was ticklish sometimes. But I was an experience for me. Now may years on, I'll be facing the same situation insyaAllah in about an academic year's time.You've gone through it numerous times, and you flew higher than flying colours.

"dorsalis pedis"

I was glad I was there when you needed me. I might have not done much, because all I did was lie there for you to hone your skills. Butting in a few times was all I could do to help you, with the little knowledge I had. You've become better, far better than me. You've recaptured your focus and thats more important to me than making you laugh. I'ld rather you cry and get your priorities right, fly through the years of becoming a doctor than laughing and being happy only to realise the last laugh belongs to another.

Years on, if you need me to be your patient, just shoot! I'm more than glad to oblige because I miss the days we played 'doctor2'

"Can you resist me from pushing your elbows down?"

Sure, I monologued. U're irresistable.
