?Big Baby?

Phiew~What a tiring day. It's 12 plus midnight now. Just want to make an entry here before I go to bed. Was covering ward just now since 7.30p.m. As usual: Clerking, examining, reading case files, and ward round. However, something funny happened during the moment I entered the ward. I saw a baby boy who looked so huge. *stunned* I walked to the mother and below are the short conversations:

*Build rapport. Da Da Da*
I asked the mother, "Puan, berapakah berat baby ?"
She said, "5 kilos."
*exophthalmos* "Wah...besarnya. Bilakah puan bersalin?"
"Oh...Saya bersalin dekat March."

*toing!*
My brain, "Aiyak! Zha dou!"

The actual story is like this: She came for elective bilateral tubal ligation after having six children. Since there was no one at home taking care of her baby, plus she is still breastfeeding him, she brought him to the hospital for convenience. And I was wondering why she was admitted into the Obs ward instead of Gynae ward. She explained that in Obs ward, there are nurses who can take care of her baby when she goes for operation.

*I see* What a surpise occurence!

P.s. Of course, I don't miss the chance to play with the baby! Aiyoyo so cute! :D
