Chapter 55

Dr Seah

Hi there. So yeah, I’m Dr Seah. You’d think I’d get bored saying that but, actually, it took like, seven years to get the Doctor part, so really I’m kinda cool with it. Thankfully I don’t want to be a surgeon, because then I’d be a Mister, only obviously I’m a Miss; but you don’t really hear about Miss Surgeon Seah, do you, so I’d probably still be a Mister anyway, which would cause a lot of confusion and just not be groovy. But yeah, I guess the point is I’m a doctor and that’s pretty fucking awesome.

I don’t have any problems, really. I mean, not so you’d notice. I do a lot of baking. I mean, some people say that’s because of the rage–like I get pretty annoyed when you’re like, “Could you do this, please?” and the nurse is all like, “It’s a rabid banshee, no way am I taking swabs” and I’m like, “It’s a nice rabid banshee” and then nothing gets done. So yeah, I guess you could say that gets me a bit frustrated. Or when I go out for an evening with my mates and then they’re all “So, I’ve got this curse on me” and I’m like, “Have you tried aqueous cream” and they’re like, “Can I show you?” and I’m like, “Guys, this is my only night off, and I get that your curse is like, a problem and that, but, seriously, I’m trying to enjoy a mojito and there are other people here, and then there are these guys and…”

Anyway. Like I said. Sometimes I get annoyed. It’s not easy working for the NHS, and I guess you could say that baking just helps keep things in perspective.

I’m going to get a piping bag for Christmas.

I really think it’ll help with the cupcakes.
