My scolding patients is not a new sight these days.
After 1 year in the system, I am already so severely disillusioned.
Is it that bad? Perhaps I exaggerate at times, but perhaps very few would argue with me if I say that the absurdities that this sorry excuse for a hospital dishes out to us house officers beats HTAA by a long, long shot.
Lab rules and protocols are moronic that I'm utterly embarrassed to adhere to their stupid system.
Patients boleh tahan jugak banyak cekadak diorang.
So called protocols and procedures retard our work.
Stupid CMEs are mostly a waste of time, when presenters obviously didn't put in much of an effort.
And for God's sake please stop calling me "Kak" already; I'm an effing doctor for crying out loud, stop telling me to change your IV drip!
And 2 years of HO-ship is too bloody long. Would I say that I'm learning? Hardly - most of my present knowledge I carried from my years as a medical student.
Four months of one posting is too long. What are we, cheap sources of labour!? Will all these insane levels of stress and overwhelming workload and lack of appreciation be worth it in the end?
I realise that the despair and disappointment in the general quality of HOs are not entirely fictional, but even so all this brouhaha is shedding light on an entirely wrong perspective. Even I occasionally facepalm at certain peers of mine, that at times I want nothing more than to fling my shoe in their direction.
I maintain that the higher ups should also share the blame, instead of making us the scapegoats just because we're the lowest in the hierarchy.
The working conditions could use a great deal of improvement. But what to do, the hospital is in poverty anyway.
The hospital is in near-shambles. The elevators are too damn slow, they give no meaning to "stat" anymore. As if the stupid procedures to enter the lab itself is not slowing things enough...
And don't even get me started on how stupid all this code asking business just to ask for blood.
I'm frankly surprised that the mortality rate of this hospital isn't any higher.
Screw everything, I'm outta here as soon as I can if I can help it.
