GURNEY

anyone from Penang or in Malaysia knew what "gurney" means?

We have Gurney Drive, Gurney Plaza, Gurney Walk, Gurney Place & plain 'gurney'... but did anyone ever thought or came across their mind, what does Gurney means... all this while i thought it was a 'given name'. Mayb it given historically... but we never bother to Question it... because as we mostly juz got comfortable with it.. we've know the 'name' from our earlier generations.. so never bother to ask...

It actually means....

Gurney = A metal stretcher with wheeled legs, used for transporting patients.
*source*

yes, what we mostly called, a "stretcher" or a "trolly". Mostly use in a hospital, a moveable 'bed' to move patients around... Can find them in Ambulance & ER...


I came across this world while i was watching 24. i learned a LOT from 24.
Eg: shooting techiniques, scripts, human reactions, human behaviors, other's POV, their jargons(use in CTU), how high-tech our world had achieve (mostly US have the $$ to own such resources), politics & much much more... I even took down notes while i was watching it... might be useful next time... Kevin was little shocked when i actually wrote notes while watching such an action series... huahahahah...

so, watching TV is never a waste of time... u can also learn while watching TV... for me... i've LEARNED a LOT... & i've still many many years of TV/movies watching to learn from...
