Well put Carren, only when u r out in the less "well equipped" places do u know how deficient they are.

The MAs in these places are doing a good job with what little resources they have. I know here in Sabah many of the Clinics are only staffed with MAs. They do what they can, who can blame them if they do make some mistakes? being in a district is an eye opening experience, then only u understand when cases are referred with this and that not done... its becoz ppl in the district are incapable of doing it. so credit to the MAs, they are a very needed supporting health personnel in the Malaysia health system.

On a brighter side... no more need for PTK for U44, U48 promotion! so go get ur postgrad!!
