I have had a cold for the past few days. At first I thought it would be low impact and quick. The cold has had other ideas though.
So in that spirit, I will share photos of two contrasting signs for medical establishments I recently noticed in Macau.
The first sign is for the Mestre de Medicina Chinesa Kong Tong Sam on Rua de Coelho do Amaral.
I liked the look of the sign.
The second sign is for a medical center with a focus on dermatology on Rua da Colina.
In this case I was struck by its English name — in particular, my first reading of "B.S." as "bullshit". For the obvious reasons, I doubt that was intended though.
In all likelihood, "B.S." represents the first letters of the romanization of the first two Chinese characters in its name. It also may be no coincidence that the doctor who practices there uses the English name Dr. Benny Si.
If I were now in Macau, I probably would have just gone to an outlet of a familiar health care and beauty chainstore with a pharmacy and picked up some medicine there. But these two places definitely have more interesting signs.
