What’s Up, Doc?

Disclaimer: This is a review of a blog which chronicles the loco life of a zany doctor. The reviewer shall not be held liable for any degradation of intellectual level which might possibly be incurred by gullible individuals as a result of reading the blog recommended.

Alright. Before we begin, you’ll have to take this oath. Raise your right hand and repeat after me. “I solemnly swear that I am legally insane and presently have nothing better to do than to condescend to sheer incredulity browsing Dr Liew’s blog.”

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the sane and the insane, I’m thinking of hosting a banquet in honour of Dr Liew, in which he shall be conferred the “Wackiest Loco of the Year”. I’ll tell you why in a short while.

You see, when it comes to being silly, no one beats this outstanding guy. Not the Chatterbox spammer who seriously believes he is the rightful king of the Maoris. Not the ridiculous girl who advised me to feed my computer chocolate and green tea when it plays tantrum. No, none rivals dear Dr Liew. Hmm, with the exception of Matt Groening, the guy who created Futurama.

As far as I can collect, Dr Liew is a doctor, duh. A medical doctor who has a clinic in Kuala Lumpur. At least that’s what he claims. If you’re one of those typical persons out there who associate doctors with over-stressed, poor souls who slave away 24/7 – either for the noble service for mankind, or for the pursuit of a five-digit income – think again.

Yes. Working in a clinic as a doctor can indeed be a tiring job but this guy, Dr Liew, manages to find time to share some light moments in his blog. Yes. Being a doctor can sometimes be frustrating but this guy, Dr Liew, has his own, uh, unique way of dealing with it. Oh, God bless the wretched soul when he tries to strangle himself with his stethoscope each time he has to bear with annoying patients!

About a month back, three days before the National Day on 31st August, Dr Liew, as a patriotic citizen decided to spread around the spirit of merdeka. He began by offering a code that allowed a clock or a calendar to be displayed on a website or a blog. Sure enough, some innocent bloggers took the bait and crammed in the applet.

Wow! Now my blog looks sophisticated! So they thought.

But, come 10pm sharp, just two hours before the National Day, Dr Liew replaced his applet with one that displayed the Malaysian flag and with the anthem playing in the background. Talk about patriotism!

Another advice is that you should shove away the common misperception that doctors tend to be health-conscious. At the very least, Dr Liew isn’t. When the rest of us are shunning eggs because of the health risks which may result from cholesterol, this maniac has a penchant for “ultra-high-cholesterol-instant-death-four-yolk” (or something like this) mooncakes. Forget about jelly-skinned mooncakes. Those are for sissies!

The most worrying part is that Dr Liew’s wackiness is infectious. He is zanny and so are his Rolly Polyclinic nurses (RPCNs). Or did it happen the other way round? Anyway, I can’t go into that with ease. Already, I’m facing the possibility of being dragged to court for a libel lawsuit. So, just pay the doc a visit! But make sure you’ve read my disclaimer!
