Hi guys! I'm back at home for 5 hours because have to sign the convo form to ask buddy to take jubah. Alor Setar half day on Thursday, what.
I'm doing Ortho. Not bad. Some days work from 7 am to 4.30pm. Some days until 7.00 pm. Nurses and MOs nice. Did 5 passive calls and 3 active calls already. Next active call tmrw. Passive call have to go to OT for emergency cases anytime. Active call have to see cases which come in via A+E and cover the wards after office hour. Luckily here got MAs to do CMR and POP. Glad to say at least I can insert Steinmann pin. Haven't done Ray's amputation and refashioning yet. Having aching limbs after carrying patient's leg in OT.
Alor Setar good for surgery and paeds. Ah Ngou in surgery now. The surgeons here do everything, even neurosurgery. HOs have to do at least 3 appendicectomies.
MC in O&G. Workload not too bad because can go back 4.30 pm if not on call. But said gynae nurses not so helpful.
Guan Fook having a very , very busy time in Medicine. Even have to go back to hosp. fr 8.00 -10.00 pm to do research for the department.
Food here o.k. Can get Malay food and Chinese food quite easily. Our house comfortable but don't have much time to clean it.
Great hearing from you guys. Will see you all during convo:)
