On Call Review

-
Who like on call on saturday? No one. It was too long. On call on
weekend or public holiday means you will be working at 8.00 am till
8.00 am without the primary team supporting you.
My on call last night was... err...tiring. But luckily my on call team
was so damn cool. There are 3 of us keeping the Patient admission
centre tight and steady. Our MO on call also super cool. So last night
on call was cool. Haha.

But you know, work never stop during on call. I feel like i am giving
up in the middle of my on call day but i try to hold on and i made it.
So relieved.

I wonder why people choose to go to hospital at 2-3 am in the morning
while you can actually wait until 7 or 8 am. Most patient who come
will be admitted to ward and will be kept for observation for maybe
1-2 days meaning that they can come later mah. haha... i was very
tired clerking patient non stop for 24 hours.

Yesterday, i never took my lunch, and never took my dinner. I was very
hungry until at some point i feel like collapsing. Luckily again,
McDonald was like a savior to us. At 3 am in the morning, i finally
ate my lunch and dinner....

hmm...i was planning a lot of thing for my post call off day. But you
know, in the end i end up sleeping until 5.00 pm and i did not do
anything for the whole sunday. What a waste of time but good to
conserve my energy for tomorrow.

A day will start again tomorrow, i hope everything will be ok.
Everyone deserves their just deserts.

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
