The above showed up in Yahoo’s Odd News. Now the international community knows the competentcy and professionalism of the health “professionals” in Bodohland. Any foreign tourist who is stupid to want to visit will pray that they don’t get sick and have to be warded in one of the local govt hospitals.

Bodohland, you are the laughingstock of the world! hehehehehe :-)

My wife saw a specialist with a womb problem and the quick remedy was , “You already have 4 children, do not want any more and so I suggest your womb be removed.”

That was more than 10 years ago. That suggestion prompted some serious research and my wife did go for treatment but without the removal of her womb.

So patients if the treatment is very drastic,do seek a second opinion or do some research.

It is the attitude in the pursuit of knowledge, finding the truth, and getting correct method of working that counts.

The road to the training of a doctor is very long; six year medical school, a couple of years in houseman ship, and another five six years for specialization plus many tests and examinations to determine success and failure. One needs a lot of perseverance and love for the subject. It is not easy to produce a qualified doctor.

google could not replace medical school. period.

Parkinson’s disease would just be a differential diagnosis, prior to referral to a specialist or senior consultant.

without clinical examination and evidence which could only a trained medical practitioner provide, how would google determine it is not PD?

the point is, if you are unsure dear teacher, ask the good young doctor.

mr. shortie kiasu, after 50 years you still have prejudice. i’ve seen lots of chinese and indians as well who do not speak English or even Malay (sorry, bahasa Malaysia). poor you.

it is not about race, religion and what not.

the root cause is the attitude of all.

cheers

Now, its not about race, religion or which uni the doc went to. It’s all about attitude. It’s as simple as that. I’m a doc and i agree with what ‘Educator’ said ” All I ask from a doctor that he/she treats me as he/she treats his/her beloved ones. Nothing more, nothing less”.
That’s attitude.You may not know everything, but you must know how to be safe doctor.

There are black sheep in EVERY profession. I know docs that i won’t even trust my pets with.

Next, ppl expect doctors to be like Gods just because lives are being dealt here. Ppl should have realistic expectations.

Lastly, a little knowledge is indeed dangerous. You cannot become a doc overnight by ‘googling’ or by watching ER, House MD or that @#$% Grey’s Anatomy.

As you can see what mentioned by Dr tidaknama: With RM 2500 to 6000 a month, how rich can you be? It is incorrect to say people study medicine because of the wealth. Unless you love to care for people, seeing and being with sick people can be very demoralizing.

However, health care career is always in demand everywhere in the world, and it is easier for a young kid to secure a job easily and could move from that point. On top of that in the first world country, doctors are usually best paid people. For a doctor to be wealthy, he needs to be very good and famous. But if he is really that good, he deserves it anyway.

For those who think of wealth, it is better to do something like commerce or finance subjects.

Medicine is nowadays a technology, and the total medical system has to wok well and not just doctors alone. In our government hospitals, how often do we hear that the ambulance runs out of petrol and could not send the patient on time? How often do we hear that the diagnosing machines broke down, out of maintenance and could not be utilized on time? Or we have the equipments but no one know how to use it? With all the equipments fixed up, doctors are not able to make decision of how to go further, the list goes on! Life and death is separated by a thin sheet of paper, and speed is very important and the total system has to cater for that.

Actually, it boils down to management again which is a pain in the arse of our bolehland and it is a team work and unfortunately doctors are the easy targets to get the blame.

Maybe the money is being made by the big medical groups while some ordinary doctors really have to struggle.

My daughter completed her studies in Canada and will complete her housemanship next year. Also with a very busy schedule but she likes it there.

She will start her career there next year and will get an interesting signing-up package. Most students overseas take massive loans for med school and some do struggle financially.

Details, pls go through below news (about my wife issue) from Health Ministry.

TheStar June 29th reported The Health Ministry has denied that a woman died at the Penang Hospital in October last year due to a delay in sending her to the hospital because the ambulance was out of petrol.

The Kepala Batas Hospital had adequate facilities to treat Yusnita Abas who died from a brain aneurysm, minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said.

He said based on a study, the prognosis for a patient who suffers severe bleeding due to a broken blood vessel was never good.

“About 30% of patients will die before they arrive at the hospital,” he told Lim Kit Siang (DAP – Ipoh Timur) in a written reply.

It was reported that Yusnita’s husband claimed that the hospital had taken five hours to treat her.

Dr Chua said among the measures being taken to improve ambulance services was to introduce a new ambulance driving training module, in which 5,000 ambulance drivers will be trained.

Note:
I am husband of above Yusnita Abas. My wife death due to provide an efficient ambulence service” from Kepala Batas Hospital.

Based on above news, The Health Ministry has denied that my wife died at the Penang Hospital in October last year due to a delay in sending her to the hospital because the ambulance was out of petrol. So, what is actual root cause???. It’s due to other issue involve with Drivers disiplince issue. We need push them to share actual root cause.

Help Needed from Uncle Lim Kit Siang to press them on root cause of that incident. We need to ensure it not repaet again to other people in future.

Thanks,

In analogy, we originally have good hands and good legs, but the so called abused NEP had crippled the people and instead offered crutches to substitute the normal walking. How could we move correctly or fast?

Good people will not want to mix with rotten people scared that they may be rotten in the end. That is true especially for graduates of any discipline. That is a very serious setback for the development of human capital. A correctly trained overseas doctor would like to stay back or look for some place where he could get a proper mentor to get a correct training. In our current environment of the blind leading the bind, it is almost like nailing a coffin to your own career if one has to come back.

For the educational fund defaulters, our incompetent administrators can’t even devise an effective system to enforce those overseas scholarship holders to come back to serve the country. On the contrary, look at Singapore, they can even offer the scholarships to foreigners and yet able to enforce them to serve their government upon completion of their studies. You just can’t talk about professionalism and integrity which anyway our government itself does not have much either.

When mediocre people occupy most of the positions, they tend to form an opinion to object those good ones who try to improve. The common phrase is “Don’t raise the standard!”. The so-called good money attracts good money and the bad money attracts bad money takes the effect.

When very VIPs got sick, the first place they rush to is the hospital overseas, and the nearest one is Singapore, followed by US, London or Perth. We can see how confident we have on our medical support, and so the doctors.

It is indeed very sad to see that whilst Singapore is developing high tech treatment, stem cell treatment for various types of cancer and yet we still can’t get our fundamental medical treatment from our own medical facility. Perhaps life is cheap in Malaysia. It is true the way Altantuya was killed, and it is only the tip of the iceberg.

Otherwise they are just showing a total lack of professionalism and integrity.

Do not sign a contract and then deny and don’t blame that on the NEP!

This apply to almost all level of public services: -

Take for example: Education Minister, Does she or he has the necessary qualification (Dr) in educational field?

Those who “End up” taking up the Medical Degree are just another monkey in NEP.

Still dreaming! Wake up Lah!

But like I always said, if that’s how it got to be, why should I help?
I just make sure my next generation is better off, definitely no local university or public health care. Just need to work smart for a better future for our next generation.

The world is getting borderless, Like the EU diplomate has said indirectly “We got to change or else no FDI” or “Malaysia is South African before Nelson Mendela”

Invest for your next generation, get medical cover. Period!
