Malaysian Doctors

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

yesterday, I thought nobody in the world happier than I was.

my colleagues from IMU have graduated from medical school yesterday. Congratulation guys!! My group study mates, never-lost-a-single-match-in-3-years football friends and everyone, I know there is no better thing now than to be announced 'congrats, you won't be in med school anymore next week'. By all means, passing med school is no mean feat. I wish I was there with all of you yesterday.


While you are out there celebrating, do not forget to express your gratitude towards Allah. He has given you everything till what you have achieved today, which had He decided to fail you yesterday, you would be sitting in your room crying now.

While it is beyond doubt the culture in Malaysian medical professional is rough, one needs to be fair in judging. It goes without saying really that it's hard for any single man/woman to work continuously 34 hours in on call days. However, a friend of mine just had her elective in the US, said that there is not much difference in that sense. On call once a week and they have to work 28 hours non stop. Don't talk about money, some people with materialistic genes have a 1000 points to argue with. You will never win.

On top of everything, I still harbour some hope that I will be able to meet these guys again in the future. By November, they will be everywhere in Malaysia.

till next time,
