In the past two years I have become an expert in some medical terms. However it is funny to see some people linked to the medical profession use colloquial terms. In Feb we decided to start IVF treatment. The procedure involves taking a lot of injections daily, monitoring the growth of the oocytes and then retrieving them when they are ready. The clinic I go to likes to do all it's retrievals on the same day. So they try and bunch together as many women as possible. Mine was scheduled for a Monday. I visited the clinic two days earlier to collect my final injection dose and take instructions for the extraction procedure which is done under anaesthesia. There is a nurse in the clinic (a Malayalee of course) who I like to refer to as the mother hen. She looks like one, walks like one and even clucks at you once in a while.
So, this nurse saw me and asked if I am ready for the procedure. I said yes. Then she turned around and told the receptionist - "Sabke ande Monday ko nikalenge"
Just before I went under anaesthesia, I remembered this comment and was giggling away groggily.
