First week of ENT posting and the first patient I saw was an elderly gentleman who could hardly speak and he experienced throat pain. On flexible laryngoscopy, pus were seen and a diagnosis of retropharyngeal abscess was made. He was subsequently admitted to the ward for further management.
A week later, I went to my oncall duty and I met him again.
Me: Pak cik, dah boleh cakap?
He: Dah, nak suruh saya nyanyi pun boleh.
He smiled at me and I could not help myself but to smile for the entire morning as well.
Somehow, some little things in life really can make you happy :)
