OK is the abbreviation of "Operatie Kamer" not Okay

Some people in Indonesia, even some of the doctors never realize the abbreviation of OK itself, though they're always entering it.

OK taken from the dutch language: Operatie = Operation and Kamer = Chamber. Since the colonization of Dutch, some of the words never change as the OK that stands for Operation Room.

This maybe not a useful information, but still people should know about this.

PS: thanks to Doctor Bahar Azwar for the info :)
