Appreciated

badrul n me 

After Friday prayers in KLCC , i was preparing myself mentally for a "so-called" meeting with Dr Ngau - The Deputy Head of Department for General Medicine. I was in fact informed yesterday by Kak Zila , the General Medical secretary. According to her , it was a closed-door meeting regarding something.. hmmmm.. a bit fishy.. Shakti was invited too and he was told we were to sign certain documents. thus making both of us wondering - if we did anything wrong or unlawful during our calls 6 months ago !! We had interesting stories when both of us were still Medicine MO's; our agressive management of things can be controversial at times.. but what the heck.. as long as we were doing our job as how it was suppose to be done in the overpopulated National Referral centre : KL Hospital..

TO my surprise ; it was nothing like that !! It was actually a farewell party to 2 prominent individuals of the medical department ; in conjunction with appreciation to the MO's who had left the department. Or as how Dr Ganesh ( Head of Gastro )put it ; Mereka-mereka yang tersesat jalan.... Wow.. i was certainly awed and touched by the department's gesture. Never have i felt such recognition ; especially because my stint in the department was only about 5 months. But then ; my sceptical side suggested that this is maybe a ploy to pull me back to medicine.. NEVEEEEERRRRRRRRR !!!


with Dr Ngau 

Anyway , i gave my thank you speech and so did Shakti. Though we "betrayed" the department , the experience i gained in P2 , CCU , CRW and the calls were invalueble. As i said during my speech ; the medical stint made me a "MAN". hakss.. Honestly, the medical MO's are the most overworked officers in HKL , perhaps the country !! You can certainly HATE medicine just by going through the unpredictable and tiring calls.And the next day , you are expected to work like nothing happened the night before. As for me , it was not the deterrant factor ; in fact i enjoyed the stint but i hated the subject even from my stuent days. I know lots of people who are in there now are very dedicated to their work.. Keep it up guys !! Thats why you guys should be physicians !!

Dr Badrul , my specialist in P2 was suppose to do his subspeciality in Endorine in Putrajaya , to our amazement ; currently he is the temporary A&E Head of Department in Putrajaya !!! haaakkss.. I cannot imagine how the staff would react to his temper and voice !! Being a tower himself ; that is intimidating !! He's a good lad and if one misinterpret his action ; one can be hurt and be enemies with him !! Ask anybody in HKL - they will know him as the Specialist who really...really.. had to work hard to pass his membership exams... haks.. Anyway , glad to hear that he will be expecting his second child by March next year..

We were given neck ties as a token of appreciation. It was sweet ; considering us anaes who has this reputation of being a anti neck-tie-wearer during work !!

Will i go back to the "right" path ??? NEVER... i prefer to be astray...
