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 :-) Guess what showed up in Reuters’ news wire:

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.

But it does not mean that people who use their mother tongue only cannot make good doctors. If that is not true, then how do you explain there are good doctors who do not speak English or very little English at all in Japan, Korea, China or Russia? 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. English is an important and advantaged tool in the pursuit of knowledge.

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 there are much that can be done to improve the govt. healthcare service. but the main topic is not about the flaws of the service, it’s the the little information that the retired teacher had got himself from the internet.

The Malays did not realize that one day they themselves will be treated by their half-baked and half-cooked medical doctors in their government hospitals. They will have to face the consequence of their selfish and short-sightedness policies just because they want to put incompetent students into medical schools. No place for the bright and intelligent, because these bright sparks are going to cause the medical standards to rise too high to level that those mediocre Malay students cannot reach and will all flop in their medical course.

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. Ok Folks, i agree with mantaray’s comments 100%.
