UMS? No problem. Queen Elizabeth? Problem

-
1. Funny. Queen Elizabeth hospital main building was closed... I am in Papar district posting so i am not really paying attention to any new development in Kota KInabalu. But then one day the AMO in Papar hospital was saying Queen Elizabeth hospital is shutting down. Then few of our lecturers also say so. Shutting down? hahaha. How can the only referral hospital in Sabah being closed?

2. Regarding the above issues, i am feeling a little afraid on future of medicine in Sabah. Heard that they are starting to build UMS Hospital. But that is a big long term plan. maybe take at least 5 years to finish the project. I do not care about it. Why those people who knew that Queen is too old and need to be replaced wait until this situation happen.

3. How can we follow ward round nowadays if half patients in Kuala penyu, the others in Beufort. We are imagining that the ward round is done by car. Consultant car in the front, medical officer, houseman, medical student, nurses. hahah.

4. Hope to see a new hospital soon. A one stop centre hospital.

5. Papar is a nice place in sabah. After undergone 7 weeks posting here in Papar, i found out a few things:

- Papar's people are quite nice. So nice. Friendly.
- No racism in Papar, saw a chinese, they speak Brunei dialect, saw a malay, eventually he speak chinese. A nurse said to me that most of malay in Papar can speak chinese. Chinese can speak brunei dialect fluently.
- the food here is so nice. All the restaurant even though small, know how to cook. At least know how to measure the right amount of salt and sugar in their food.
- Looking for amoi? Yep, chinese girl is plenty here but suprisingly, Malay girl here is much way prettier. Malay girls here what we call awek, all are fair skin, putih2, cute2. It is true when my friend said to me that Brunei girl here is pretty. Malay girl in papar is pretty. True. hahaha.
- Papar is small. No need to drive very far to go shopping.
- Got Giant in papar, big one.
- got this Fish wantan popia which i craved everyday. Can be found in KK but cost you rm2 per piece while only rm1.4 here in papar and much more yummy then.
- I love papar. If i was posted here later when i become medical officer, i would not regret it. I think it would be nice.
- forget to mention, food here is cheaper than KK in term of quantity and taste. Malay food in KK is so bland.Bland? or blunt? haha, poor english.

7. I lost my stetoscope. I hate it. I am very lousy. All my things usually lost or destructed spontaneously. Now my badminton raket were twisted because of too much exposure to sun. I need to buy a new one but no money. Then my stetoscope lost in Hospital Bukit Padang. Schizo must have been taking it. Then i also need a new headphone. and a tendon hammer which i lost last orthopaedic posting. Then i also need a pen torch which i lost in professional exam. I am so unlucky.

8. Anyone want to donate money to me?

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
