My folks tried to push me for the same profession, but i knew something like this was going to happen, so i decided to go for forensic psychology, a field which not many people even know abt yet. What local hospitals Can do is reduce the time length of houseman ship, allow fresh doctors to start a practice, and keep monitoring their progress. if they fail to met a certain quota of patient satisfaction, shut the clinic down and make them undergo houseman-ship.Tanuj Patmanathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633901507792485555.post-7122430655594632632010-09-17T19:19:01.668-07:002010-09-17T19:19:01.668-07:00I work in a private hospital as IT support. I know...I work in a private hospital as IT support. I know how much they earning, and yes, some doctors have to strive to get a good (veeeryy good) earnings. But for some, it's just okay to have enough to buy a BMW(s), have holidays once a while and happy faces wive(s) and children. These are doctors I saw passion and compassion in them. But they are also some doctors who are making millions in have a year (mostly surgeon, orthopedic, cardiologist) and they still can't get enough. Probably they need to save a trillion to buy some big mansion in the afterlife. And you know how they do this, they try to snatch the most fish in the pond before the fish swim away. What I mean is that the doctor will asked, "u have insurance? u have money. Now listen to me, u need to go for operation, n believe me, there's no other medication in this world that can cure you except you go for operative correction.. but it will cost u, but that's what you paying u'r insurance for.." hehe.. <br /><br />When I finished my SPM in 1998, I got 8A's and I'm in science stream. I could easily go for medicine studies. My parents were so mad at me when I change my UPU form behind their backs. They even have my school teachers to give me advice on taking medicine, but I was all against it. so I got an IT degree instead. Before I worked at this specialist hospital, I thought I've made the wrong decision on taking IT, but now, I'm more glad I did just that.<br /><br />Plus.. some doctors are so overwhelmed by their income, or by the status of their job that they may think near godly.. that often they think that they are write all the time. And that make them look stupid sometime. For example, they tot a computer only cost 500 ringgit, and they tot if they order a printer today, they can get it by afternoon, or they tot that if a computer broke down, it can be fix in few minutes, regardless of whatever parts need to be replaced. and they tot a 250 ringgit laser printer toner is cheap, but still they don't want to pay for it, because.. it's expensive.. ;) confusing.. hehe.. think about it.renxonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633901507792485555.post-83629939721899892352010-09-17T18:28:53.870-07:002010-09-17T18:28:53.870-07:00@joeelaine: i think that is foreseable, we'll ...@joeelaine: i think that is foreseable, we'll need to try our best, not stretch ourselves out too much. our lives afterall is interconnected in so many beautiful magical ways.<br /><br />@anon: med education belongs to education ministry.
