Me, "This is your medicine for the evening madam, there is panadol, medicine for moving your bowels as well as a Magnesium tablet."
Madam's husband, "What is that Magnesium tablet?"
Me, "For replacement of the minerals in her body sir."
Man, "What is the name of the medicine?"
Me, "Magnesium."
Man, "But what is the name of the tablet called?"
Me, "It is called Magnesium sir."
Man, "Ya, I mean what is the composition of the drug?"
Me, "...
....."
...............
Me, "Er...
Sir, it contains Magnesium.... *Crow flew past* Err... Sir... You mean... you want the formula for the medicine is it? The hexagon like thing?
(Sample of what I thought he wanted)"
The man stunned for a while, smile with a lil embarassment, "Err... No la... No need.
"
Me, "Oh, because it does not come with an insert, if you want I can check it out online for you, but this tablet is called Elementry Magnesium."
Haiz.
So much for a weird question at the busiest moment at work
.
I thought, when Magnesium is known as an "element", it means it could not break down into something else
?
My brother laughed when I told him this story, in fact, I laughed hard the moment when I got back into the preparation room, as I find the conversation a lil' pointless and felt a lil' mean
for asking that man if he actually wanted the structure of the medicine, but I really cannot figure out what he wanted, so I need to clarify.
Well, if you said he wanted the name, I have told him the tablet is called Magnesium, there is no other name.
If you said he is asking what the magnesium is for, I have told him it is for replacement of a mineral in the body (Bet I don't need to start a biology session in the ward right?)
I just couldn't think of what else related to the medicine that he wanted to know, so that question just popped up in my mind and before I know I shot the question
.
But then again, saying that I am mean, think my brother is even worse. Guess what he suggested?
He said, I should just tell the man, this is "Magnesium-benzolate-chloride-N-Hydride" and that, would stop the man from questioning
.
May be I should learn it from my cousin's friend who ever told the passanger on board some weird name that actually stands for some kind of vulgarities when he was being asked what is the name of some deserted island over 10000meters in height.
