well....it is quite true

hey everyone!

i found this in FB. someone wrote this and seriously, it is interesting to be shared with all of you.

.........................................

Criterias for becoming a Malaysian Govt Doctor. Theres no need for an aptitude test. Students should consider these requirements:

1. No life outside medicine; this includes dating, sports, clubbing, chores for your parents and visiting the toilet

2. Not to live with your parents. Move out ASAP as they will never understand the ludicrous working hours that u go through. Furthermore, chores are not suitable for u as to rule No. 1.

3. Not to be married until completion of all 4 years of Govt Compulsory service as u will be transferred left and right to some of the most remote Govt clinics in Malaysia. Having wife and kids to follow you to your new working area may increase high level of stress on all parties. Furthermore, if your spouse is a Govt Doctor, he/she will also be transferred away from u and no matter what appeal is made, KKM will put up a deaf ear (unless u have big cables or of a certain skin color).

4. If married, no to have children until u finish all 4 years of Govt Compulsory service, as to which u and your spouse will not have much time for your child/children or they end up not recognizing u and refer the Indonesian maid as their mother (change in language patterns commonly follow).

5. To obtain life insurance once your govt service begins as there is not many claims for accidents during work. Don't be fooled, Doctoring in Malaysia is hazardous.

6. Able to withstand 36 hours of non stop work and stress without mistakenly labeling Left for Right or uvula for vulva (or Volvo S40)

7. To buy a car with complete safety features (like I'm doing) which includes multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, side-front-rear-top-parallel and diagonal impact bars and seat belts to ensure survivability if u are involved in an accident because your driving resembled a drunkard maniac after working in the hospital for 40 hrs non stop.

8. Constant supply of coffee

9. Nicotine Patch as u will have the urge to start smoking due to overwhelming stress

10. Interest in watching medical sitcoms such as House MD, Scrubs, ER, Grays Anatomy and Chicago Hope to inspire u to continue your life as a doctor as the exciting things u see on TV does not resemble the real life of a Malaysian govt doctor.

11. Not to have any pets or plants (not even cactuses) as u will have no time to feed or care for them and eventually all will end up in your mortuary.

12. Able to endure the stench of your own sweat as to when 36 hours "on call" does not permit u time to bathe or freshen up.

13. Able to carry on working without food or water over 15 hours. ( I was in OT for 16 hrs without food, water or bathroom breaks). If during fasting month, able to break your fast with ?water for injection? as u had no time to buy food.

14. Able to come to work with fever/cough/illness or physical disability (sprained ankle etc) as to which doctors do not deserve MCs. (My MO was on crutches during rounds)

15. Able to stand scolding, destructive criticism, kiss ass behaviors, racial bias, finger pointing, scape goating, and in competency from your superiors.

16. Able to withstand the jealousy when your friends call u up for some fun and ur stuck in the hospital during on call.?

well....it is quite true. i encountered some similar condition during my training. i even had one nurses, helping me to break my fast during ramadhan by inserting one dates into my mouth because that time i was busy putting the catheter to one unstable male that need to be send to ICU STAT! my right hand was holding the catheter and my left hand was holding the thing that u r imagine in ur head right now.

because of that reasons.......i put all the mo and specialist high up. for me, they are the strongest persons that i've ever met in my life. able to going through all the difficulties to reach that spot. and i do hope, i will be on that spot one day.

isya nia....fighting!!!!

p/s: the no 9 was not related with me at all because i'm not a smoker.

a letter

"to my dear right middle and index fingers, im really really sorry for giving both of you such a hardtime. i know the workload that i've given to u are beyond you imagination. but what can i do, when other people are also relying on you. but trust me sayang, just try to bear with it for another 4 months, then we will be free (insyaAllah)."

the commonest things that need this two fingers are:

1-peace sign
usually been use while posing in front of camera.

2-VE
what VE stand for??? it's vagina examination.

and trust me, that is my daily routine because currently i am in Obstetric and Gynaecology posting. just 4 days of life in this posting, my two fingers already in pain. still can feel the spasm of the muscle of my right arm. i just couldn't count how many VE i've done. how many baby i help to bring them safely to this world. how many times i was sitting in between two legs, try to repair the damage after delivery.

during my student time, i did ask 1 HO about the feeling, sitting there while repairing someone's vagina in 3 am. and you know his answer?

"wordless"

i hate doing that. it is a dirty job. it mix with blood, liqour and human feces. and of course, this three combination produce such a 'dolce&gabbana, lancome and gucci' perfume. my my nose only around 15-20cm from the source, nicely been covered with 1 face mask that only get rid 20-30% of the smell. but when i started doing it, i will give my very best to repair it. why? because i am a human plus i am a woman. when i want to wear a shirt or baju kurung, i'll wear those that suit, well made and fit enough with my body. so, when i repair the damage, i put my feeling into the patients. of course, if i was in patient's situation, i will always wish for the best. and that feeling keep me awake and alert while doing the repair.

so at the end, although i keep cursing myself for doing this kind of job.... i end it with satisfaction. looking at those well stitches vagina made by my dearly two hands. a masterpiece. haha

my advice to all woman in this world, plz kindly give extra care to you vahjayjay...it is a gift from god. we need to appreciate it's beauty and it's magic. because we are human, so into beautiful things. right?

emmm...... am i to open talking about it????

a sweet bye bye for medical

alhamdulillah....

complete 1 killer posting i guess. got 5 to go.

as u know, i started my career as a doctor with medical posting. everyone around me kept telling me how lucky i am to start my housemanship training with medical posting. at least, i will face the common illness in society, plus there is a lot of procedures that i can hands on and manage them medically.

well, because of that, i kept praising to god, how beautiful HE arrange my life. but, to get the sweetness from medical posting, i have to go through so many disgusting and heart wreaking situation in my life. how i face the 1st death in my life, how a patient that happily talking to me, then later drop dead in front of me, and entertained so many weird behaviour and request from a creature named human. but i took all of them as a challenge to me and try to gain something from them.

the first 3 months in medical......

i kept cursing this posting. i didn't see at all the beautiful things about medical until i was been posted in isolation wad, managing less than 5 patients and being alone, depending only to me and myself.

yes, i am lucky because i have a small number of patient to be taken care of.

but, being alone there, really teach me something. at least, i know how to be independent without my colleague to back me up. and i like it. plus...i got someone that really really good in teaching. *twink twink

but when i just started to enjoy the sweetness of medical....

my time with them goes to the end. at least during this 4 months of posting, i did learn a lot. very valuable stuffs to help me to survive later in another posting.

medical is a nice posting. maybe, one day, i'll end up being medical speacialist. who knows rite? well good bye medical. gonna miss u and all the wonderful people in medical.

p/s: gonna miss ur scent, ur laugh an ur voice.
