Dr.I: So let's talk about Child Pugh Score. There are five categories: Bilirubin, Encephalopathy, Ascites, Prothrombin Time, Albumin. And there's 3 points for each category. So now tell me, what's the minimum that you can get on this scale.
*flick flick flick* She's like, standing right in front of me and asking us.
Dr.I: C'mon people. You're suppose to be the top in the country. The cream already. Otherwise you won't be here.
Me: One?
Dr.I: No no no... Simple arithmetic. It's really simple.
Classmate: 5.
Dr.I: Yes 5! It's just simple arithmetic. See, one, two, three, four and five!
She was pointing on the 5 categories that she wrote on the white board. And she turned to me. Smirking...
Dr.I: Hmmm... I wonder what you scored for your arithmetic...
*blushed* How embarrasing... I admit, I suck big time in my arithmetics. I hate maths. I hate numbers. I just hate figures. I don't know what's the solution to one plus one. Blergh....
FYI, Child Pugh Score is used to measure the stages of liver disease. For more information, Wiki about it.
