Sad but true *shrugs*...
Came across this post from my friendster. Pei Lynn you really hate your life don't you? but anyway thanks for the post....I'm sure the fella who wrote this is agreed by many of our colleagues. :) How bitter is our life?!
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.
The list goes on. These requirements should be
sent out to all doctor wannabes and for them to
determine if their life coincides with the
Malaysian Medical Health service of doctors under
KKM. I LOVE THIS JOB!
