I have many Sikh patients. They are invariably some of my most polite patients. I believe it is part of their culture. Some are difficult to understand though.

Several come for DOT physicals. It is somewhat surprising when I have them lift up their shirts to listen to their chest that they always have their dagger tucked neatly into their belt.

It is one of the 5 "K"s. That they carry a dagger to defend against injustice, like if they see someone being robbed, they are to use it to scare off the attacker. Not to be used in offense.

“I have many Sikh patients.”

I hope you are prepared to read a few jokes about that line.

This IS FR, after all.
