Syndromes and a Century Page #4

---

I've been meaning to quit

- I agree. You should stop

- Or I'll have double karma

Or reduce the amount you eat

Poultry is very high in cholesterol

It contains a lot of fat and uric acid...

...that collect in your joints

if you eat too much...

...and it makes them ache

Therefore, you must try

to cut down if you can

Eat more fruit and vegetables instead

They have more nutritional value

They're high in fibre, calcium

and can ward off disease

They also help ease constipation

Being regular can help clear your mind

You won't feel dizzy or confused

Then I should stop eating chicken

Yes, that's right

My aches and pains...

Can you stop them?

Of course. You could have

what's called Panic Disorder

That stems from your own imagination...

...from your inner fears,

from your mind

Or it could also be genetic

When you fell out of bed

onto the floor...

...it might have triggered

some latent diseases to resurface

Will you give me some pills?

Yes, but let me take

some more blood tests...

...to determine the exact cause

Hold on a second, Doctor

What is it?

Boil these roots and drink them

They'll give you a kinder heart

But I'm already kind to all my patients

These roots also help to reduce...

...inconsequential thoughts

Bad, inconsequential thoughts

gather in our brain

Drink this and you'll feel better

I see...

It also reduces your memory

Reduces my memory?

If I drink it...

...then I won't remember who you are?

That's OK. We each have our calling

We have to follow our own paths

Take him, for example

Sakda, tell the doctor...

...about the asthma...asthma

His mother has had asthma

for some time

Sakda, tell us about her condition

Tell me about your mother's asthma...

...so I can make her better

How long has your mother had asthma?

Rinse your mouth

I prefer it off

Open your mouth

I'd like to rinse my mouth

Just a second, Doctor

Open your mouth

Would you like some tea?

Where are you two going?

To have lunch

Good. Keep walking.

Maintain your distance

It's OK. I'll catch up

OK, I've dialled

What a trendy ring tone

My girlfriend set it for me

Pretty, young Joy?

Hello

Be careful. These steps are old

Army doctors have to do their rounds

down here every Friday

Just make sure it doesn't affect

your other cases

The basement is resered

for military patients...

...war veterans and their relatives

Everyone is a relative

I know. Small country, huh?

Oh, there's another way down.

At the fork just now, take a right

Where's your father, Off?

He went to get the X-ray results

You're looking better

Lower

Try it

Lower. More. More

Be patient

Very good

How's everyone back home

these days?

Your old neighbours

sold their house and moved away

They sold it?

- Where did they move?

- To Cha-am

I see. What about your sister?

She's living with her boyfriend

I see. And how about you?

I'm living with her as well

I see. What rank are you now?

First Lieutenant

- Lieutenant already? That's pretty fast

- Yes

You used to be such a naughty boy.

Very naughty

You used to sling mud at my house

I'm really sorry

It's Dr Nant

- This is Dr Nant

- Hello

This is Dr Nohng, the haematologist

We were just saying it's rare

to meet a male haematologist

That's right. Why did you

decide to specialise?

My sister has alpha thalassaemia

So I had an interest in this field

And you can take care of her?

Then you must carry the gene as well

That's not always the case,

you have to do a blood test

I've checked. I carry the gene

- Oh...

- Really?

Would you allow me?

Sure

Is he pale?

- Not really, Doctor

- Really?

- Do you feel fatigued?

- No

- But you can't be sure

- Right

There are active and passive carriers

That's why I always say...

...obstetricians live with birth...

...oncologists live with death...

- ...but haematologists live with suffering

- Most are women

- Because blood diseases can't be cured

- They can't be cured

The patient suffers a lot

What are you doing, Doctor?

Isn't it a bit early for that?

She knows what to do. See?

What's this, Doctor?

There are three of us

- I'll get it

- You don't have to help her

- Did you go to the Red Cross Fair?

- Not yet

It's quite extravagant this year

with lots of bands performing

He won't go

- There's no Karaoke

- That's not true

Don't call me an alcoholic

I have to go on TV this evening

She's a guest speaker

on public TV every week

It's always like this

I've gone on TV a lot...

...but I'm still not used to the cameras

I don't drink much,

just enough to get me tipsy

- As always

- That's why you look so nice today

I have to prepare my own wardrobe...

...because public TV

doesn't have enough money

I try to help, but their sets

are so old-fashioned

I asked them to use a blue screen

and matte in flowers...

...but they wouldn't take my advice

Oh, Dr Neng, come on in

There are staff outside

waiting to use this room

Really? Tell them to come in then

We're just chatting

They've already left, Doctor

Really? Then why don't you join us?

You, too, young man

- Come inside

- Off, come here

- Come in

- Are you appearing on TV again today?

Yes, in the evening

- Is this Sant's son?

- Yes

- He's good looking, huh?

- He's my patient

I see

- What's wrong with him?

- Carbon monoxide poisoning

Isn't he better yet?

Not yet. I've been treating him

for several months

That's strange

Do you mind if I take a look?

- What are you doing, Doctor?

- Chakra healing

I channel energy from the sun

The top of his head is a Chakra centre

I'm going to transfer my energy to him

I've seen this done before

Close your eyes

I want you to imagine a picture...

...of yourself walking through a forest

There is a large waterfall...

...and a crystal-clear stream

The water is very cool

Try raising both your arms

Slowly. Slowly raise them

Take both hands

and dip them into the stream

Dip them in

Now both your hands...

...will suck up the water...

...the water from the stream...

...up into your head

Into your head...

...and all around

The water inside your head...

...will wash away everything...

...and vaporise into the sky

Right, now, you have a fresh mind

It's clear...

...as clear as crystal

Your mind is refreshed

You have a fresh mind now

OK. Now lower your arms

Let's see. Open your eyes

How do you feel?

- Better?

- I didn't feel anything

For chakra, don't your hands go here?

Only if you get a massage

and a hand job!

But isn't this what they showed us

in the seminar?

I think you must be confused

- What?

- Here, have a drink of this

- Can I be excused?

- It's OK

Let him go, Doctor

I've tried this waterfall trick before

Really? Why didn't you tell me?

Are you selling Red Cross T-shirts?

Yes, this year we have two styles

- Very nice. How much are they?

- 200 baht

Can I see your racquet?

You could join the national team with this

Good thing she didn't scold you

Who brought you to the hospital?
