Sticky

On a recent occasion, I was wandering in the ward like a demented patient.

“Dr. Szeto, what are you looking for?” The ward manager found that I was lost.

“Oh, nothing,” I blushed a little, “I’m just trying to find some scrap paper to make a brief note to the students.”

“You know, after the accreditation exercise, we are not allowed to keep any scrap paper in the ward,” she opened a little drawer and took out a pack of A6 size 3M Post-It® Notes, “All we have is paper of this kind…”

“I do not have to stick it anywhere. However, this change really reflects what's going on in the Hospital Authority - or our government in general,” I paused for a moment and then went on in Cantonese:「就係將啲有用但唔多合規格嘅淘汰，換過啲睇落好靚但其實黐嘅。」
