English-Chinese Outline for Medical Histories

[Stil]

I should have mentioned this before. Here is a very useful pdf to give to your school nurse and local hospital. It is covers just about any ailment you can think of and is written in English, Pinyin and characters. So, t's also quite a good learning tool. Maybe should go up on the links page.

Raoul, if your heading off into the seedy part of town - Ciprofloxacin: 环丙沙星 (huan bing sha xing) will clear up that post trip problem.

[Raoul Duke]

Wow! Thanks Stil!

This is a much more complete version of a project I had in the fire to eventually do the hard way. Much appreciated.

Since when are post-trips a problem?

Oh, no! can you get a bacterial infection from just being in some parts of Suzhou? What from -- eating, breathing (heaven forbid) touching things -- that's scary!

[George61]

touching things

Yep, that's right AJ....touching things....although in some cases , eating might have been involved!!

[acjade]

George. I was last talking to you about flowering gums. Not touching things.

[George61]

I was last talking to you about bleeding gums.

Same sort of thing, really.
I was simply answering your questions, my dear!

[Raoul Duke]

No, Dolly, Suzhou is fine. Safe as clown's milk.

Actualy, this being China, it's ALL the seedy part of town.

[Stil]

Dolly, It is my understanding that the seedy part of Suzhou is whatever part of town Raoul happens to be in at the moment. However, I have also heard that tequila makes an effective disinfectant in Suzhou, although copious amounts may be necessary.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Just wanted to see what you wankers would say.

[reham]

What is clowns milk? And when you imbibe it does it make you feel good? Where can I get me a little? Mmmmmm......clowns milk.

I don't like it...it tastes funny...
