Seow Voon is transferred to OPD Kuala Nerang, a rural hospital 40 minutes' drive away from Hospital Alor Star, despite appeals and 'meetings' with the state pengarah. It worries me that she has to drive daily through single-laned rural roads with lori balak and other heavy vehicles. There, she has to bear with a typical family medicine specialist who emphasises on trivial non-practical stuff like punch card, modest attire, cannot leave before 4.15pm, etika kerja, Allah will acknowledge what you do etc. There is also a Paki contract M.O. who sees patients ten times slower that everyone else and flirts with a gatal anak dara tua nurse. Work is mundane and is not encouraging for self-improvement of medical knowledge/skills.

Meanwhile I am still in the solace of Anesth Dept. Wish I could trade places with her.

Hopefully all these will be just temporary.
