The bathroom

Went to see our family physician this morning after I tried cleaning up my spouse's bedroom and bathroom during the past two days.  Our doctor was quiet when he looked at me and saw how badly both eyes are infected.  When he asked Why? and seemed stumped as to what might be the cause[s] of the infection, I asked that he looked at the photos on the USB I had brought with me.  After seeing the photos, he asked me four questions, one of which was, "Your husband, he's from Taiwan, yes?"  And even though our doctor assured me that I don't have to feel embarrassed about the photos, it seemed to me that he himself felt embarrassed for me.  [I saw his face reddened twice during my exam and chat.]  Now, I am on antibiotics, antibacterial, and antifungal eye drops and oral medications for the next ten days.

  1. I've seen dirty and this ranks way up there. Do most Chinese/Taiwanese live like this behind close doors. I know a lot of Chinese/Taiwanese at my workplace and they all wear designer clothes, drive fancy cars, talk big businesses, but man, if this is how they are privately, they can stay inside their communities or go back where they belong. We have health standards here in the U.S.
