Baru lepas bersalin

Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah and alhamdulillah.

Satu bulan yang pack, satu minggu yang sibuk, akhirnya selesai belaka.

5th year dah sampai ke hujungnya, dengan hutang 2 keputusan posting major.

Seterusnya, posting elektif, buat kat HSNZ jer.

X jalan jalan pom.

Entah la, rasa nak melepaskan lelah di suatu tempat yang tenang, tapi tak begitu tenang, kampung halaman sendiri.

Takpe, nanti kita jajahi pulau2 yang ada. Haha.

Okay, nak share sikit pasal pertemuan aku dengan seorang trainee lecturer UMS, Dr Loo, yang tiba tiba nak datang melawat kampus. Lepas bawak jalan2 bersiar siar di kampus, kitorg sambung borak di kedai mamak.

Banyak yang dia cerita,tapi nak dipendekkan cerita, dia insist aku dan kawan aku yang lagi sorang masa tu untuk mula tetapkan hala tuju nak ke mana lepas ni, MBBS maksudnya.

Whether nak kerja dengan KKM, atau kerja dengan Ministry of Education, as lecturers.

Memang total different path, dan almost no turning back for both.

Ade pros dan cons untuk kedua duanya, namun perkara yang dia highlightkan jangan stop pada tahap mo sahaja.

Dan dia dah tanya aku, which field do you interested in ?

Okay, surgeon aku x minat nak berdiri lama lama dalam OT. Dan aku ni jenis 'tebolah', hand tak steady. Haha.

Medicine, the backbone of medical world, tapi, too much work for me, and less satisfaction I think. Ko oncall letih2 lepas tu datang patient SOB sebab x makan ubat sakit jantung atau minum air lebih sebab kenduri. Perfect for workaholic people. Big no.

Family medicine, sounds interesting but yet to go through, and ade master program kat Australia.

Psychiatry, nice people, it helps me to recorrect my perspective of life and towards others. Second choice.

Paeds, children are cute, but I am not that happy to see them in the wards. Pity them. They belong to playground la.

Ortho, nice people, good working condition, less stress, play more.

OnG, bagi perempuan lah, banyak pulak isu timbul.

Medicine is lifelong learning process.  Dan ade hutang 10 tahun kontrak dengan JPA.

It is not going to be easier next time.

Dengan cdangan application exam for HOs, it is a nightmare. Your 6 years MBBS is just a piece of paper, the exam is going to determine everything.

Tough life, and it is now becoming more competitive.

Dan aku share ni sebab bawa amanah dr Dr Loo sendiri, so that we juniors be more prepared and anticipate this situation in future.

Next thing that should be in mind, clinician or non-clinician aka academician with lots of publications.

Lets decide for ourselves now, don't just go with the flow.

There is still happiness, hope, time and specifically life for doctors. Just have a little courage and determination, find them along the ways.

Okay, kenapa tajuk bersalin, sebab nak bagitau betapa leganya lepas melahirkan anak yang dikandung 9 bulan. But yet we have a child to be taken care of.

Tanggungjawab akan datang silih berganti.


For every chance, there lies the responsibility.

:)

p/s : Thanks sahabat2 atas doa dan sokongan yang tak putus-putus, may I not need that much of help, but the important thing is, I know that I am not alone. I just wish the same for you guys.
