Universal Language

During one of the breaks at the last BSE (Excellerated Business School for Entrepreneurs held at Holiday Villa, Subang Jaya from November 29 till December 7, 2008) I happened to be alone with Dr. Tony Zhang.

Just to introduce Dr. Tony, he is a practicing chiropractor from China and is recently married to Ms Wendy Tan, CEO of Globe Engineering.

I tried to have some small talk with him, but he made it known that he could only converse in Chinese. Luckily for me, Danic was nearby and I roped him in to be our interpreter.

One of the questions I asked the good doctor was how he handled non-Chinese speaking patients or for that matter if he had any.

His answer was that he understood the word ‘sakit’ (Malay for pain) and as long as the patient could tell him where it hurt, he had no problems diagnosing and treating them.

Well what do you know, pain IS a universal language.

If you need the services of the good doctor, who by the way also does acupuncture, he is available at:
