Master advert out today. Can check in today's NST or Berita Minggu. Can start applying online via www.mohe.gov.my
Good luk to all

finally got my confirmation, after numerous calling up to putrajaya. well, not necessary to get transfer with or without confirmation, just apply for places short of staff, n u wil get sent. yet to do btn also, no black n white sayin tat must do rite.. tryin to evade as much as possible... n stil ambivalent on doin master this year.....

Guess what guys? I just went for my induksi. Yup, after 3 years in service. I had mine in a hotel in Sg. Petani. Attended with all the juniors. Went with low expectations after hearing all the stories from those who went before me. But it turned out to be all right (except for the exam of course). Tiring but not as hectic as I thought. Food was great. (I heard stories of how at one induksi, the same food was served over and over again). We didn't have a lot of variety each meal but different food was served almost everyday. We also had steamboat and barbecue dinner. The team building was fun. We also had repelling and flying fox. I hear not all centres have these facilities. My induksi only lasted for 12 days. And have yet to attend BTN. Organisers say they are having one in November and all of us who went for the induksi this time will get to go. Hope my head of department releases me.
Hear that we will know our results after one month but the paperwork for confirmation takes 1 - 1 1/2 years to settle. So, guess I won't be able to apply for Masters soon. The other thing is, they say it's easier to get transfer after being confirmed. Thinking of a change of environment since have been at same hospital since housemanship.

hi adeline,
no star spangled banner....
PTK 1? i heard that it's not easy...but i think should get over and done with it as soon as possible...good luck to you...tell us all bout it after that....sejarah/ wawasan/ tonggak bla blah.....

first thing i did on this glorious merdeka day is to watch O....prah .....discussing on craniopagus parasiticus (?? wat der....?) tell me....what could me more interesting than that!

i've called siti rokiah many times. probably can get hold of her like 20% of the time. it's quite frustrating cos she will be just saying the thing was sent to spa n gotta call those guys there yadda yadda. by the way, she's a new girl if that gives anyone any further comfort.
apparently its not 2 weeks. the spa bunch needs 1 month to process the thing. my stuff's been in KKM since late july. got myself a confirmation date verbally told by some spa guy but no paper. equals zero progress.

my HR clerk has put me up for PTK 1. Hmmm....
anyone got any idea what we gotta read for that?
pls advice.
Happy Merdeka! remember to fly those stripes!

yes, getting our confirmation done is a hassle and they say waiting time to see dr is bad!

i'm sure by now, most of us have done our induction. after getting the certs, proper surat aku janji, med check-up and surat pengesahan lantikan jawatan, these set of papers will be sent to your state office which will make a cover letter and send it to KKM who will send it to SPA with another cover letter. And should u any time find a delay and ask them how's the progress, they will pick little problems in it and shift the blame to other ppl to cover their inadequecies.

Anyhow, in KKM, the person in charge now is cik siti rokiah. in SPA, there r different ppl in charge for different files. So, no specific names.

Yes, by choosing pencen scheme, we fall under another protocol where they process our pencen scheme applications and confirmation together hence the delay since like in my case, i got my forms signed before i completed 3 years. i had to send down the form back personally due to the lacking of knowledge in the management side.

well, good news is once u have the above forms sent to kkm and spa, they will each take 2 wks to process and should be sending back the documents on your confirmation. unfortunately, as our putrajaya is somewhere in bermuda triangle, postmen there have much difficulty travelling in and out of that zone.

till then, we can only pray for the brave postmen who are fighting part of the battle for us!

(alan went to putrajaya and has not heard frm him since. that was 2 weeks ago)

hi ppl,
i'm changing my e mail add to adechensm@yahoo.com. cant stand reactivating my hotmail account over n over again.
i heard alan got into HKL. is that true? why's he so silent? crushed by the workload?

chiew leng, i n my whole desperate induksi gang bought school kids baju kurung (primary school) for BTN. i think we depleted the entire pangkor (our induksi was there before BTN).
we even bought big pieces of big white cloth-to pass off as selendang.

in the end, no need baju kurung or selendang. just white top n black or dark colored(better dark blue) pants or skirt. one cheap skate way - ask ur nurses to pinjam u la. i borrowed skirt from my staff.

never heard of BTN need for masters.
my PERMOHONAN for sah jawatan is still in SPA- just great!!!! seng kiat's one is somewhere in between ipoh and putrajaya- headed toward putrajaya n not back to ipoh unfortunately.
maybe partly due to our induksi in sept last year - late la
anyone know who to pester?
the lady i called (AINON) seemed bored and uninterested.

apparently, if u choose the pension option, ur permohonan for confirmation only can send from ur hospital once complete 3 years service. terrible.

our fates r in the hands of some pen pushers in cushy chairs.

tan kooi yen is that you....?
yea, i guess putting my names down for btn wont hurt...

went cambodia trip 2 months ago...must-go place!

wanna go to bangkok next trip. anyone got travelogues to share?
maybe i shud start a food blog or travelblog

HEY guys...

Must go BTn or not for masters?? i mean...i am confirmed oredi in service...
i know to be promoted as part of PTK, need btn la.

to those who went BTN, must wear baju kurung putih and selendang?i mean...check this website on BTN http://www.btn.gov.my/bm/?page=7

PLease answer somebody.....

supposedly civilized people in tertiary education centre turn out to b barbaric after all.... wanted to make some cynical remarks here but afraid tat ISA will come after me, even though with the internet nic ...

take a look at this videoclip , happened inUPM...

sad... whats this country coming to?

remember the big fat red shirted thugs face, he'll probably be a minister someday....

ngou, apparently it is not so weird. The incidence of laryngeal/ hypopharynx ca is higher up north. that is what my specialist said. good la, got eayly training, see one, assist one and do one! haha

dunno what happened in Sg Petani.
had lots of laryngeal/ hypopharyns CA lately......had total laryngectomy almost every week for nearly 2mths....had to go home late(>9pm) nearly every op day although not oncall.......sa cham...after having good life for so long..post op care is even more troublesome..

weird patient with weird stuff do exist.....
recently removed a piece of rusted nail from a guy's nasal cavity which had been inside there for >50 YEARS!!!! but he presented to me only c/o tongue pain!!. i check his nose as well as he c/o rarelt had min epistaxis, but no other nasal s/s. So dudes, weird stuff do happened, check all places that we think should be check whenever we see our patient...hehe...

i also didnt go for BTN... crossing my fingers.. dun plan to go...he.he.

i m confirmed without the BTN
and last year application for Masters did not state that we nd to go thru BTN before application - but. this things may change. i havent gone for BTN yet

ngou: only for those who didn't go for the BTN during their induction.

???aikk?? i thot v oredi went to BTN when attending induksi?? still hav to go again ah??

yeeling is going to BTN at pantai chenang, langkawi island.
hey guys, know who else is going? 4-8 july. She is the only one from Jb hosp. And pengarah let her claim 'gantian kapal terbang'.

BTN: it's actually in the circular that BTN is necessary for confirmation. but mostly applied to those who has not done their induction and they usually go for both at a time.

I just came back from BTN in Ulu Sepri, Rembau. It was great. we had it together with the jabatan penjara which was a blessing in disguise. Admittedly or not, doctors are not a very boisterous bunch. The prison officers surely lightened up the sessions. There was no brainwashing at all ( unless my skull too thick and i didn't get their brainwashing). No sensitive issues touched. Mainly more on how we should be loyal govt officers which i think is ok. Food not too great as i think they may have catered from my hosp - yucks and living conditions were so-so. We slept in double decker beds and had to share toilets like in UM hostel. We had separate cubicles and shower!!! (Expectations weren't to great)

Scenery was great. Surrounded by forest and had a river run through the camp site. Had line dancing instead of marching. Exams were logical and Kembara was fantastic! Best of all it actually rained. nice!

The truth is, i actually forced the JKNS to send me for BTN because I was tired of tagging daily - HAHA. Anyways, I have no regrets going and thankfully, my tagging finishes this thur!

To those who are contemplating bout going for BTN, better get it done now as it's better to go with ppl u r familiar with. As for my current group, I was with my juniors. still ok. Later, our bones will be less nimble and our brain may not be able to withstand the brainwashing as experienced in the other states. Go with open mind, and enjoy 5 days work-free and crap-talking!

Eh-hem, I see budding politicians here. By the way, are you guys compounding your lack of sleep by watching the world cup?
Carren, good to hear that you got what you wanted. How's Shin Yi? Has she applied for transfer?
Alan, long time no hear from you except for that utterly true sms on top 9 reasons why somebody wants to become a doctor. Are you still in Kuala Pilah?
Ah Ngou, long time no hear too.
Hope to hear more good news all around (people getting married, passing exams etc.)

many of our ancestors ran away from china generation ago.
does it mean that we have to do the same thing again.
we were born here for good or bad, we must not give it away easily.
if i were to die on this land of malaysia, i will fight for it not only for me but for our future generations.
so stay or migrate? still proud to be m'sia?

wa yap... DAP supporter?

what's in the blog is true, and i think most people knows it, consciously or subconsciously... the question is... what are we going to do or what can we do about it?

are we going to sit back idly and hope for the better, or leave the country for the dogs and run away...

are we willing to fight for change? however hard and impossible it may seem?

q: do all of us need to go for btn? any implication if not go ah? coz purposely didnt apply for this year. lazy to go. n stupid confirmation plus apc is stil stuck in putrajaya (i hope it is stuck there, if not, tat means it is stil in jkn level)

Chee Foo: hey, 1 mth tagging already good. others had to tag 2 mths. but not bad, can charge them passive call daily and each time they call me to go back and see something, i get to collect milage.

As for confirmation, mine only just departed from seremban on 1/6/06 but has not reached KKM yet. Crap la. i sent mail to UK and my friend already reached it in shorter time than that! Anyhow, keep on pestering them or deliver it yourself. I think this is like tracing blood results. can not trust the attendants. they will stop for marketing and a smoke before u get any back. better just go on your own.

Went for Basic surgical skills course with khaibeng few days ago. met up with Fariz.She's in paeds surg now and getting married in Dec to a Chinese muslim guy! Congrats to her!

I'm also going for BTN next wk. wish me luck! any advice before i get there?

yong: eh. i lost ur number la. anyway, yim remember u, though recall more of ur sis, n say hi.

yong: yeap, it is Yim Sit Wai. went to PMC, sermban for hosueman, n to HBUK after finishin houseman. wife from kl. he will b back in N9 in mid june. will send u the contact no. remind me if i forgot. will send regards to him on ur behalf.

congrats carren for joining the ORL fraternity....u so lucky can hav 1 mth tagging. i started oncall after 3 days tagging last time due to lack of MOs...u sure will enjoy ur Dept.
anybody got their 'pengesahan jawatan' yet?? how do we DIY to speed up the process? the cc, admin.JKN,KKM and SPA taking forever to do this simple thing...

congrats again for u all for getting into ur dep... n for those who r askin for interstate transfer, ask around, coz inter state transfer shall occur on mid june.
n for seremban ppl, not sure whether u guys remember yim or not, he is goin back to n9.

started ENT last week. one of the specialist pestered cc that he can no longer stay till 6pm seeing pts.wish me luck as i start my 1 month tagging in june.

congrats to those who manage to get back to civilization! dun worry la, u wil eventually get wat u wan.. think positive!

hmm..
sounds like a great time to clear all those mountains of accumulated leave carren, b4 u join ENT which doesnt look too good for leave taking opportunities

sigh... no surprise tho, CC has extended my stay in A&E. Now I am to wait till the new ppl from district come to sban before i can go to ENT. But as i am waiting, 2 more ppl has joined A&E. next month, another 5. with only 2 working MOs in ENT, one would ask if logic even exists in the CC's head. Anyhow, I can not complain with the massive workforce in A&E as well as shift hours.Life is definitely still bearable! :-D

wow. tat bring life to the blog.

yong jr: cute baby.... just wish can pinch the cheek...

carren: congrats on the transfer, hope u can go back to ent. seems most of us r where we wanted to b. pray hard lor

yap: wil b comin south sometime soon (to lepak in jempol for holiday again.) meet u down south if around. tat goes for u too carren.

Thanks! Guys, meet Clarisse.

Alan said to me 'Now you have two wonderful ladies in your life'. I can't agree more.

Congrats lee kien n seow voon on arrival of new member in the family

Carren....Sorry to hear that the Yang Berbahagia di Administratio has decided to veto n make u dibuangkan negeri to A & E. This menaces in Administratio should be trialed for their cruelty...!!!

I hate having flu....

greetings from sban. I'm now in A&E. Apparently the medical dept is critically short with 20 MOs (previously they were doing fine with 10). So, instead of sending me to med, CC has delayed my entry into ENT by sending me to casualty for two weeks. Apparently to appease the medical specialists.

On the other hand, casualty is not too bad as we have 18 MOs including me. Only problem is i am too old for tagging. It is really exhausting. Lucky only 3 days. Day 2 today and counting down. Only hope they won't forget and just leave me to rot in A&E!

01.02.03.04.05.06
anyone making a fuss/ celebration out of this?
i am going to sleep through this "once in a lifetime" moment

aiyo, yap don't let yr pengarah stop u. my pengarah also said nd pengganti and i went ahead with it. plenty of ppl want nearby places such as jelebu. afterall, they r beginning to kick out our one yr jrs. so there'll be plenty of ppl to ganti u.

happy easter! +

hello everyone. i will be going back to sban in may. glad to be back in big hosp but my kaki not there anymore. sob sob!!!!

helooooooooooooooooooo
why is everybody so quiet..............?

i'm on leave. away from 'routine' work. on and off break from work is definite must.
desperate housewives are coming back.
grey's anatomy is on, pilot show was 2 days ago.
think House is a better show - can relate to some of the sarcastic side of House.

everyone is really into routine work oredi? seems quiet....

everywhere shopping complexes mushrooming...even here in KK, hew malls being constructed. Already the jam that i have to go thru in KK to go to work, like 45 minutes...is like KL..argh....
Last i remember of kuching baktisiswa is WIsma Seberkas! haha...still remember that place...

Just came back from Kuching on Sunday. There are more shopping complexes there now. Met up with Ling Yin as she was transporting patient from Sibu. HFMD very serious at her area. All the doctors' leave frozen. Most of the time I hung out at the waterfront area. It was a good break though.

fuel price increase is killing me!am travelling everyday to work.. think will go brancrupt if there is no increase in pay..wat price to pay to stay at home.
ps. should b around in kl for the weekend for course. anyone around?

Parliamentary sessions again

and looks like we have animals there... python no less...

check out http://www.jeffooi.com/2006/03/parliamentary_sitcom_and_court.php

then again... whats so surprising... macam macam boleh di bolehland...

anybody being hurt by the fuel price rice?? or life just goes on? anybody changing lifestyle and taking the LRT or public transport to work?

gues everyone is down with just routine work.....

i am still with the blog. almost alwatys visit this blog for any news of you guys everytime i get online.
perhaps seok hong is right about it that nothing been happening other than rountine and more routines.
good luck pals....

Added RSS site feed for the blog...

what this means is that if u have a new aggregattor or are using Mozilla Firefox live bookmarks, u can just view any updates on your news aggregator, no need come to the webpage...

so hows everyone? so quiet? all bored to death? or in places without internet?

going to be 3 years since we started housemanship, time flies

Probably quiet because nothing new to share. Life quite routine: Work, rest, on call, sleep, work again. Anyway, flying to Kuching next week for perinatal conference. I just realized that it's been almost 5 years since I went to Kuching for Baktisiswa. Too bad no one else our batch is going. Or else can 'lepak' together. Anyway, probably can see you guys in other courses to come.

?teiuq os enoyreve yhw

Chee Foo: Oh no, that sounds like a really bad fall. What actually happened? Hope everything is ok now.

Happy Chinese New Year!

We are back in Malaysia. Will start work on Sunday. Had a great time in the cities of New York and Chicago. Went to many historical, artistic and contemporary tourist attractions. NY is as diverse, fast-pace and exciting as what we see on Friends/Seinfeld/Sex and the City/The Apprentice/numerous other movies. Chicago is a slower pace metropolis and is a nicer place to have a family. We saved a lot of money by renting a Columbia University student's room.

About two-thirds of foreign medical graduates in the States are Indian nationals. During the tour of the wards (as part of the interview itinerary), the Indian graduates were going like, 'oh that's my senior over there, oh that physician is an alumni of my medical school, etc'. Apparently, Indian medical students take the USMLE by bulk during their medical school, and there is a mass exodus to USA/UK every year upon graduation. The quality of these graduates vary greatly (as we all already know - we do work with a lot of HO or MOs who went to India to study medicine). Some of them are mainly targeting a green card. Doctors in my position will be eligible to apply for a PR status within 3 years, and then go into private practice after the 3-year specialty training. (But I will be aiming for a subspecialty fellowship after the initial 3-year training). India is really exporting their doctors to USA. Other foreign doctors are from Central and South America, and Philippines. Surprisingly, USA also recruits doctors from the Middle East (Syria, Lebanon, Iran) despite all the Sept 11, Iraq and Palestine political issues.

hey wen jih, hmm u got perak???!!! yeah another worker !!!!
happy new year ppl.... more like happy taking the opportunity to take loooooongg leave. ok la moderately long la. those of u who havent increased their weight by at least 5 kg since new year eve,, eat up man!!!!

Hi everyone!!

Happy Chinese New Year!

We are writing this in Chicago! I am offered a resident position in the New York Medical College-Metropolitan Hospital Internal Medicine program! I will undergo 3 years training in Internal Medicine and then hope to get into a subspecialty fellowship program after that. I will start July 1st 2006. Seow Voon will wait for an offer until March.

And yes, we are expecting a baby girl this May! We are so looking forward to have her.

Truly, a year of great change. Sure, difficult times lie ahead, but it we will persevere and make it big.

Catch up with you guys when we get back.

hi everyone
why's everyone kinda quiet this days. me as usual work eat sleep n sleep routine. CNY is round the corner but i feel like ebenezer scrooge, no new clothes, not bought any goodies yet and believe it or not, just ate one mandarin orange so far-that was given out by a fake choy sum in a supermarket. one more call to go-on the eve of the eve. then it's sleep eat sleep for at least 5 days, i hope.....

• learn the rules so you know how to BREAK them properly
• dont let a LITTLE dispute break a GREAT relationship!
• once a year go somewhere you have never been before!

Cannot wait till chinese new year!!!

was on call on new year. luckily i guess the drunken got too drunk even to get to their cars so it was rather quiet(don't forget if you get to sleep by 3am in morning in GH JB while on call IT IS CONSIDERED GOOD CALL already!!)
too much hope for this coming year isn't good but i guess it is our human nature of way coping with our hopeless life.
anyway, bear your soul well. don't loss it or sell to the evil, ok! happy new year my fellow bloggermates.

happy new year! let's hope everyone gets the great change the hope for!

Happy New Year everyone!

2006 will definitely be a time of great change in Seow Voon's and my life.

All the best in all your endeavors.

HaPPY NEW year everyone!

Happy New Year! Happy New Year! The end of the year was a great time for movies. Those of you who haven't watched Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire and Chronicles of Narnia, go watch! 1st of January is not a public holiday in Kedah, and I'm on call. So sad. Oh, the flood crisis here is over, thankfully. My house wasn't affected, or I'd still be cleaning up, and we didn't have to transfer patients to other hospitals. Anyone of you coming to Penang during Chinese New Year and want to meet up?

happy new year everyone!
carren: wont brag about the work load, coz we r just new, so work load is rather lepak, at the moment. the best part is we all know each other before this, so workin together is no problem there. the only thing i'l brag is my hostel unit... 3 rooms, plus a maid room, store room, kitchen, n living room, furnished. all by myself.. ha!!!!!! (evil laugh)
but anyway, will b goin back to perak later next year, so dun really matter anymore.

wen jih: so how r u? how is it really in jempol? hw is the pt load like? Joe Ann (our common friend from SBan) met Hans and he was bragging again. Thought better to hear from u yourself!

everybdy: merry christmas and have a wonderful new year. may the new year usher in all that u wish for!

Heres to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!!! many happy returns for the year ahead

eevryone been quiet lately.... hopefully everyone is workin on somethin...
well, tis a season to b merry, so merry christmas everyone!
n a happy new year!

Gho-st: Thanks, will look up resources on the internet on how to do it.

Where's everyone by the way? Is everyone busy at new work environments, quietly studying for exams, off for festive holidays, or having new things coming up on personal life etc?

Up here in Kedah, it looked like Katrina in some parts like Jitra and the northern districts, but the water is now subsiding. The main road of Hospital Alor Star is closed today because of possibility of rising water levels. The hospital main road is beside this river which is overspilling. But the situation is getting better these few days and I don't think there will be any serious disruption in Alor Star. Seow Voon's house is on the southern part of Bandar Alor Star, and not near to any main rivers, so the house is not affected.

Yong: i manually changed the HTML of the template file

you can do that too if u know some HTML programming

think u can also create your own template on frontpage or something and upload.

not sure, havent updated and changed the template in a long time

How do I add pictures on a newly created blog of mine? You know, like the Star Wars stuff on the left hand side of this blog?

Kaiinn: u be in KK then? then can meet up lo... if u going sandakan only then susah lor...

anyway, if u interested to go see proboscis monkey and river cruise... check out http://www.sukau.com/ or http://www.uncletan.com/

the first one cost about 450 per pax for 3 day 2 night if u can get to its jetty yourself. Nice accommodation, all meals included. the second one more basic, like camping, no proper water and electricity but cost only 250 with transport. so if u bringing ur girl... better the first one laaa...

Sandakan otherwise nothing to see one, got one nice English Tea house, but town like phillipines settlement... Sepilok Orang Utan reserve is about 16km away, feeding time is 1030 and 230 i think. Can stay in nature resort opposite Sepilok reserve, about 100 for nice room with breakfast for 2.

call me la when u get to kk

merry christmas to all!

merry christmas everyone!
enjoy the holiday ahead, n hav a blessed year ahead

HI guys....few jokes here to cheer us all up:

Just browsing
A blind man and his seeing eye dog walked into a store. When he gets in, he starts swinging his dog around. Upset by this, the manager of the store demanded to know what he was doing. The blind man calmly replied, "I'm just lookin' around."


Dead Dog
A man wakes up to find his dog, dead, lying next to the bed on the floor. He doesn't believe his dog is dead, so he takes him to the vet, and the vet says, ''I'm sorry, but your dog is dead.'' The man doesn't believe him and says, ''I want a second opinion.'' The doctor goes into the back and brings out a cat. The cat jumps all over the dog and bites it and says to the vet, ''Meeoowrr.'' The vet says again, ''I'm sorry, sir, your dog is dead.'' The man says, ''No, I want another opinion.'' So the doctor brings out a Laborador Retriever and he jumps all over the dead dog and tugs at it and barks at it and says to the vet, ''Rrrrr.'' The vet says, ''I'm sorry, sir, but your dog is dead. that will be 500 dollars.'' ''$500 to tell me my dog is dead?'' asks the man. ''Well,'' the vet replies, ''I'm 100 dollars, the cat scan was 300 and the lab test was 200 dollars.''


The Scent of An Old Woman
A haggard old lady is riding in a posh hotel's elevator. On the second floor, a beautiful woman steps on, smelling divine. She arrogantly says to the old lady, "Georgio, $100 an ounce."
On the next floor, an equally beautiful women steps on, smelling lovely as well. She turns to the two other women and says, "Chanel, $150 an ounce."
The old lady's floor is approaching and as the doors open, she looks at the two young ladies, bends over, farts and says, "Broccoli, 49 cents a pound."


The Judge
A judge asks a defendant to please stand. "You are charged with murdering a school teacher with a chain saw." From out in the audience a man shouts, "You lying bastard!"
"Silence in the court!" the judge shouted back. He turns to the defendant again and says, "You are also charged with killing a paperboy with a shovel."
"You goddamned tightwad!" blurted the spectator.
"Quiet!" yelled the judge. "You are also charged with killing a mailman with an electric drill."
"You cheap son of a..." the man starts to shout.
The Judge thunders back "If you don't tell me the reason for your outbursts right now, I will hold in contempt!"
"I've lived next to that lying bastard for ten years now, but do you think he ever had a f*****g tool when I needed to borrow one!"


Texan Poetry
The finals of the National Poetry Contest last year came down to two finalists. One was a San Francisco State University graduate from an upper-crust family; well-bred, well-connected and all that goes with it. The other finalist was a redneck from Texas A & M. Go figure.
The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four-line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word “Timbuktu.”
The San Francisco State graduate went first. About thirty seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following poem: “'Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked the dusty caravan.
Men on camels, two by two
Destination -- Timbuktu.”
The audience went wild! How, they wondered if the redneck could top that?! The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought. Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped and recited:
“Tim and me, a-huntin' went.
Met three whores in a pop-up tent.
They was three, we was two,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu”


English Patient
An English guy was very ill and his son went to visit him in the hospital. Suddenly, the father began to breathe heavily and grabbed the pen and pad by the bed. With his last ounce of strength he wrote a note, dropped it, and died.
The son was so overcome with grief that he didn't remember slipping the note into his pocket. At the funeral, he reached into the pocket of his coat and immediately felt the note. He excitedly read it thinking it might be something he could recite during the service. It said:
YOU WANKER -- GET OFF MY OXYGEN PIPE!!!

yes, house is definitely highly recommended. his sarcasm will be the downfall for our communication skills tutor. because he has proven we don't need it to be a doctor. best of all, his motto is "never trust patients" hence there isn't really a need to clerk pts!
u think ismail merican will ban this show in malaysia soon?

Do you guys watch House M.D. on AXN? Though the diagnoses are far-fetched, it is an interesting resource for MRCP candidates. The cynical, sarcastic,dark-humored physician in the drama is interesting to watch. There is so much medical jargon in the drama that I doubt lay-people can understand it fully.
