🚧 Road to HOship;

Average #waiting time for HO is;

6-9 months (from ‘melepasi tapisan’ to PTM)

▶️ E-HO to PTM; 3-4 weeks

▶️ PTM 3-5 working days,
(Negeri yg tgh PKP tak ada PTM ya, trus report duty ke hospital)

Then weekend off,

Then directly report duty to your respective hospital the next working day to start your hospital orientation.

▶️ Hosp orientation; 3 days to 2 weeks (depending on hospital, most hospital will cut short the orientation due to COVID)

Then only you’ll start Tagging in your respective ward.

🔼 Total 32 universities affected 😰 please check the list ya

I've asked MMC. They told eho will be on end of may. (Forwarded msg from one of the tapisan group)

What I understand about this issue;

- upcoming E-HO in end of May as planned

- graduates from 32 listed universities will not be included if the issues haven’t settle yet

Hello Dr, can you explain more about #pass_over, I dont really understand the concept? 🧐

🔼 A very good question from participant of ❤️ Medicorp’s #Advance HO course;
.

✅ Pass over means you communicate #concisely with your colleague about patients under your care.
.

✅ It can be done via WA, call, or when both parties are available in the ward - like what is usually done by nurses.
.

✅ Usually during pass over, we'll update to our colleague about patients' latest #progress & pending management plan (investigation result to trace, pending referral/procedure/operation etc).
.

✅ Passing over is a good practice as it will help you to #understand & remember the case better.

It is also critically important to ensure #continuation of patients’ care.
.

Most MO & specialist practice passing over the ustable patients to their oncall colleagues.
.

✅ as for HOs, we'll pass over about patients under our care. So you need to know which ward & cubicle you'll be incharge of for the next shift before you can do the pass over 👌🏻
.

Below is example of passing over via WA (Medical Dept, general male ward) 🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽

Hi Jamie, I’m passing over all the patients in subacute ward as I will be working ON (night shift) tomorrow
.

Issue; difficult venous access (take care of the branula ok 😭), awaiting for Cardio to review on Monday. KIV discharge if otherwise well, need to take ENT TCA
.

Bed 9; En XXX,
🔼 DF with warning signs (vomiting) in critical phase.

Issue; monitor Sx & oral intake, ensure I/O +ve balance. KIV t/o dengue ward once more stable
.

Bed 10; En XXX,
🔼 CAP to complete 3/7 IV Augmentin CM. Discharge if no active complaint, no TCA
.

Bed 11; En XXX,
🔼 CKD, undecided for RRT.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri,
Maaf Zahir Batin dari kami ❤️

Gambar pagi raya semalam posing tak berapa jadi, so saya up dulu gambar 10 tahun lepas time HO 😂

Alhamdulillah sekarang dah tambah 4 ahli keluarga, 15kg berat badan 🤣 dan 7000+ alumni #Excellent doctor.

Raya dulu, esok kita sambung semula revision 👍🏻 Enjoy quality time with your love ones ❤️

Dah baca buku & CPG, tapi rasa tak #ingat pun? 😅

Lepas dah habis med school, kita belajar bukan untuk hafal & ‘muntahkan’ semula knowledge & skills kepada examiner,

Tapi kita untuk faham macam mana nak diagnose & manage patient 👍🏻

Yg dah revise semenara tunggu HO ni, insyaAllah akan lebih mudah adapt ke working environment nnt sebab ‘knowlegde not so rusty’ even after months of waiting after graduation.

So jangan putus asa untuk revise sementara menunggu HO ni 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
