happy national day everybody!
going back home mid-september!
yippee-cant wait...away from work, frustations of explaining to patients over and over again y they need urgent OGDS while they stubbornly want to berubat kampung and fresh-melena-ing away...sigh...de practice of medicine is so frustating....forget about communication skills...

Am rotating to casualty.

Hi guys again,

Am finishing my paradise posting in Anesth and will go to Casualty next month. Being an MO is so much different from a HO. I seriously believe that HOs does 70% of all clinical work in the hospital.

I have been buying some books on-line, and it is a good alternative compared to going all the way to Kamal bookstore and having to bear with their 'arrogance'. (Don't you think that they can be quite 'action' sometimes, thinking that they have the largest selection of medical books in Malaysia). I suggest that you check out e-bay for medical books before buying from established sites like amazon.com. A lot of people worldwide who have passed their MRCP etc sell their books on-line, and may throw in some of their own past year questions/notes/shortcase vcd etc into the deal.

Anybody want to share PDA medical programs? I got Harrison, Nelson, Current Medical and Washington manual and BNF.

Hullo, everybody.

Ju Ann: Happy belated birthday to Ju Ann! Alan had rather we gotten you the "Honk if you are Horny" bear. I thought you would rather have a peaceful drive back home.

Wen Jih: You are not the only financially deprived MO. Cheer up, maybe someday we'll meet up for cheap chinese tea!

Others: Keep up the good work. To those who hate their posting - only 1 1/2 months left. To those who love their posting - Damn it. but there are ways to get extended. Be creative!

Ciao!

look at d bright side. all of us is earnin mo call claim. so not so bad....poor me is still claimin passive call, ,whichis poorer than ho calls...

wah, such a long time. how is everybody everywhere?
damn busy caught up myself as a daytime MO but doing HO's call in medical posting. great responbility but get to bury the new houseman. ha ha.
oh, Azam has joined us in JB. feel happy for Hani. life is still almost the same, thinking to join anaest soon but still need to complete 5 posting. yeeling is fine as well, thinking to take up O+G! great challange.
take care everybody. enjoy what ever you are doing.
tony: don't worry many still doing HO job lah
wen jie: show us your hairy beard! how is your saudi trip

any news from roddy!

pt has depression, or at least tat is wat we think. dun actually know wat is he tryon to say. speak arab most of d time.

Am sitting in air-conditioned rooms, listening sleepily to beeps and soft Mix.fm.

Hi guys,

Am in Anesth, and not having to do calls for the entire month. Tagging up to 11pm every two days. Glad that I am in the league of 'ppl in lepak postings'. Wonder who will become M.O. rehab Medicine.

We changed our hp numbers. Registered line is way too expensive, back to prepaid now. Yong: 0122525786, Seow Voon: 0124005799.

WenJih: That WAS the ultimate 'accompany patient' trip. Why did the patient need to go to Saudi so urgently? Any terrorist encounter?



Yong

i did kept a beard, n i dun look nice in tat. n i'm just thankful tat i come back in one piece. with my head intact. funny thing they r dunno malaysia got chinese. the immigration officer keep lookin at my passprt after reading my name. in disbelief.

Hello... Damn mycroft get to travel all the way to Saudi... should have taken longer leave la my friend, visit the middle eastern countries, learn the culture, savour the moment, grow a beard and join the al-Qaeda movement.

Anyway, we are now in Keningau Hospital, settling in quite nicely, lepak life. Tony still in KK coz he has to complete all 5 postings before going off to Kuala Penyu, where he will spend his by then idle days watching fish and eating prawns. Chee Chan going to the tip of Borneo, heard its a beautiful place but haven't been there myself. waiting for him to settle in before visiting.

Seok Hong, the next MRCPCH Part I is in January next year, should have one in Malaysia unless they cancel it again like last year due to the CNY holidays. No problems getting Internet connection here... actually got Streamyx la

......so, how am i enjoying psychiatry? jsut a word. enjoy. but not to stay on yet. really wan to complete everything before deciding.. well, tis is lifetime, for crying out loud...
anyway. i just came back from the ulitmate patient escort service...just came back from escorting a depressive pt to saudi arabia.. on a paid 3 days trip.....dun envy....

Sob! Sob! Ive said goodbye to my idle days in casualty. It's back to clerking cases, taking blood, setting lines, on calls with minimal sleep.
Is it possible that those who are now in district have difficulty with internet access and so that is why we haven't heard from them since they went?
Mycroft: How's psychiatry? Are you considering staying on?
Tony: How come you haven't left yet? And what has happened to our friend Chee Chan?
Penang people (I mean, those working in Penang GH): What's the latest news about you all? Do you all get to stay for 5 major postings or is anyone being sent out?

n if u r rading tis.. lee kien..
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

hullo, this is my new number effective from today. 0166908278

been so long never heard from everyone, just guessing whether everyone is alive or not.any new updates from anyone else?

Am going to Anesth next week.

Hi guys.

I have finally finished my third posting in Medicine. I had to repeat the posting because of my transfer to Hosp ASetar. Looking forward to sitting in an air-cond room listening to beeping machines. Maybe I will have more time to read.

The head of department medicine in Alor setar is a FUCKING OBESE HORNY MIANG OLD COCK. The expletives are an understatement. He is a hypocrite, superficial, all-talk-and-no-skills, grandiose asshole. He uses his postition to take advantage to interact more with female housemen. He gives them extra teaching sessions to be closer to them. As for guys, he doesnt even take a second glance. Heard rumors that he used to sms love messages and buy gifts for cute housemen, was reported and a tribunal was set up to judge him. He is probably much toned down now. Since Seow Voon has joined medicine, he has been giving her these 'extra teaching sessions'. He better watch himself, otherwise he will see what I am capable of.

Seow Voon and I are getting married on Nov 21st. All you guys are invited. Will contact each of you some time soon for confirmation.

We are also going to the States end of the year for the clinical skills exam, probably L.A. It will cost us a large amount of money, hope it will be worth it.

Hi, everybody..
Greetings from Sg. Petani Hosp. It's really refreshing to hear that everybody is enjoying their life so much now. Too bad that i was not able to meet some of u during our one of HO-ship hols and VE's wedding dinner. Really miss all of u out there.
As SH had mentioned, i'v been posted to Sg Petani. The hospital ground here is really old and spreand out like the Banting one. But the NEW hosp is really impressive, complete wif quarters for specialists, MOs and HOs. But the problem is, dunno when can move in. Heard the Pengarah said that the earliest will be end of this year.
Am doing Ortho now. Ortho here is heaven compare to Alor Star. Basically, everyday after round (if not clinic day), just do discharges, fill forms (v dun hav to take blood or do dressing here), wait for new case to come (normally less then 5 per day) and wait for 4.15pm (to punch out). But the not so good part is that i hav 12 calls this month!! Well, since can claim RM75-113, dun care so much lah.
At least living here is not so boring, hav GSC...can watch cinema liau...
Actually now i'm oncall,passive (OT) call, but can stay at home..hehe..
Hav internet connection here, so can expect me to pop up quite often now...
C U guys and gals...

Greetings from Keningau, where the air is fresher and the grass greener. Settling in quite well, nice hospital and people. not as busy as KK. renting a house outside for Rm700, fully furnished so not bad. Awaiting Kalis to join the gang here. Then we're sure to see some fireworks

Glad to hear the Seremban people are having fun after one year in hell.

Most of us in KK here are just doing some attachments in major postings before being sent out to district.

Chiewleng and I just found out yesterday that we were suppose to report into Keningau TODAY! our office in KK screwed up and actually gave us attachment in Medicine here for 4 months when we were supposed to be attached in Keningau.

So with everything so last minute, we have to scramble, pack, settle stuff before leaving off and leaving Kalis all alone for a month.

Cheerio guys. will contact from keningau
