thank you for your comment on my anniversary post.
I spoke to 2 different doctors and both were required to take SOME version of the Hippocratic Oath. They said it varied, depending on the medical school and the specialty.. meaning their initials. One is an M.D. (graduated from Vanderbilt Med School) the other is a D.O. and I don't know where he graduated. BUT BOTH TOOK THE OATH.
I work with 2 more that I have not seen to ask. Do you want me to try? One of them has been a doctor since the early 70's, so I don't know that his answer would matter. The other one is only 40 or so.
I made the last comment BEFORE I watched the youtube video. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I am sending it to everyone I know. Especially the right wingers.
I look Asian, but I'm not. Neither is my last name. When I speak, you won't hear an Asian accent. I can't speak any Asian languages. All I have in common with Asians living in Germany is my dark skin, almond-shaped eyes and petite frame.
I am a Canadian of Filipino ethnicity living in Germany. I used to enjoy the sport of trying to make that comprehensible to your average German, but after five years that got boring. That is why I added Cosmopolite to my self-description - and rediscovered the fun =)
Über die „Klatschtante”
Ich sehe asiatisch aus – bin es aber nicht. Mein Nachname auch nicht. Wenn ich spreche, gibt es keinen "Asia" Akzent zu hören. Ich kann eine asiatische Sprache weder lesen noch sprechen. Alles was ich im Vergleich mit den in Deutschland lebenden Asiaten gemein habe, sind meine dunkle Haut, mandelförmigen Augen und schmaler Körperbau.
Ich bin waschechte Kanadierin mit philippinischem Migrations- hintergrund, die in Deutschland lebt. Anfangs hatte ich mir einen Sport daraus gemacht, dieses Selbstverständnis einem Durchschnittsdeutschen begreiflich zu machen. Nach 5 Jahren fängt das an, langweilig zu werden. Deswegen habe ich Kosmopolit meiner Selbstbeschrei- bung beigefügt, und habe meinen alten Spaß neu entdeckt. =)
