The older I get, the more I wear sunglasses – not to hide behind, but for practical purposes. To protect my eyes. As a self-declared minimalist, I’m not going for the Peggy Guggenheim sunglasses vibe. I tend to stick to classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers in tortoiseshell, alternated with an old pair of oval-shaped, mid-grey Prism sunglasses….

醫生有怪習慣，在上機前要先洗澡，一方面因在機上也感覺舒服點，另一就是不幸旅途罹難也可以乾乾淨淨地死去。 「Is here a shower available？」因對方只操英語，慣常禮貌地問服務員。 「All shower rooms are taken！You have to be on waitlist！」合理回答，但醫生想一想，這是早上七時十五分，而這早已熟悉多年的貴賓候機室有十多個洗澡間，跟醫生有類同習慣人士不會這麼多，便挑戰說道：「I don’t think so！Please check again！」她一臉不滿意正想跟醫生辯論時，有操廣東話的服務員出現，醫生用廣東話一問便即時得到正面回應，行進洗澡間更發現有五、六間在空置狀態。 相信她沒有說謊，很可能只是手寫記錄有些過時。任何公司都有SOP（Standard Operating Procedure），僱員跟公司SOP辦事就算出錯也責無旁貸，惟SOP絕不能關注每個細節，工作態度好的僱員會按情況為顧客多走一步，例如某茶餐廳外大排長龍，醒目員工會放幾張摺椅給客人休息，又會送上冰水。 醫療也是服務性行業，醫管局有數不盡的SOP，惟病人需求五花八門，治療藥物日日新鮮，SOP或治療指南絕對無可能追得上藥物發展，若醫生墨守成規只是按本子辦事，困難病情出現能得到最先進治療機會是不高的，只有特事特辦在治療指南以外想辦法才為上算。 多走一步，才會多點成功。 撰文 : 莫樹錦 欄名 : 醫筆稱心 Source link
