A Jamaican country doctor running a clinic in Mocho (St. Elizathabeth) wanted to take a day off work to go into Kingston, so he called his dispenser to take over. The doctor said :
"Obediah, I have to go to Kingston today, but I want you to keep the clinic open; just in case any patients come in. You think you can handle it?"
"Yes, sah (sir), yes sah!" answered Obediah, thrilled to be put in charge.
The following day, the doctor returned to work. He asked Obediah, "So how did things go yesterday?"
"I had was to treat t'ree (3) patients," said Obie proudly.
"De fuss one seh 'im have a bad 'eadache, so mi give 'im two Tylenol."
"De second one seh 'im belly a hot him bad, bad, so mi give him some Maalox."
"Good work, good work," said the doctor, "And what about the third patient?"
