“Are you happy with your #sutures?”

“Yes! Dari tak tahu macam mana nak pegang surgical instrument to knowing how to make interrupted 1️⃣, continuous 2️⃣ & subcuticular sutures 3️⃣,

Yes I’m definitely #happy walaupun sutures tak cantik sangat macam surgeon 😆

Takpe sebab dapat suturing kit #free lepas ni boleh practice lagi dekat rumah💪🏻”

Pukul berapa nak kena #punch in as HO?

Macam mana nak #prioritize ward work?

👉🏻 The time of clock in varies as according to your confidence of finishing your job on time. If you can't perform your duties due to inadequate preparation, then you come earlier the next day to spend more time to prepare.

Prioritize your job. For starters, your usual daily ward work after the ward round should be prioritized as per the following order:
1. Emergencies
2. STAT blood investigations/Blood cultures
3. Referrals
4. Requests for services (eg. Early CT scans)
5. Discharge summaries
6. Documentation

The order above merely acts as a guide & you should always prioritize your work as per the circumstances with justification.

That includes but not exclusively limited to, A. work smart with your team (eg. Send the blood samples for your teammates too if you are taking it down to the lab)

B. Plan your work ahead (eg. If your CT suite is next to the lab and you have only one blood to take, might as well send the blood to the lab, then head to the CT suite to do your requests to save some travel distance)

C. Call for help if you need to.

D. Don't be too #calculative.

E. Aim to finish AM ward round work before PM rounds.

F. Be responsible. You are what you do.

Long story short, housemanship is just training you to be efficient.

I would advise not to aim to become anyone's asset. Your aim is to become a trustworthy MO who can be there for your patients.

If you have extra time, strengthen the basics👍🏻

A new HO

I have the opportunity to see a new HO in my ward for the past one week. I saw her struggling because she was not familiar with our Malaysian hospital system.

=====
Here are something at least the overseas medical graduates can do while waiting for HOship:
1⃣Change overseas number to Malaysia number (whatsapp & contact number)
- You will be using a lot of whatsapp for communications and calling a lot to refer / update cases. Hence, it would be troublesome for others to contact you if you are using overseas phone number / whatsapp number.

2⃣Knowledge & skills: learning from preHO courses would be a smart way
- Common abbreviations used in Malaysian hospitals
- Common topics for each department
- How to write memo / referral letter
- How to request imaging
- How to request blood. Difference between GSH & GXM
- How to prioritise ward work
- Bedside procedured including ABG, blood C&S, venepuncture, branula insertion
- Normal values of common lab results and normal vital signs. How to recognise unstable patients.

3⃣Common sense
- Always make sure the samples / notes / charts are belonged to the right patient. Any mismatch would cause unnecessary complications.
- Inform / Consult MO if unsure of anything.

Rupanya, ramai yg salah faham tentang reapplication HO (selepas resign) 😅

❎ lepas reapply, terus masuk next HO intake

❎ guarantee dapat masuk HO semula lepas resign & reapply
.

Sebenarnya;

✅ process reapplication ambil masa. Lebih kurang setahun juga. Jadi kalau nak/terpaksa resign, pastikan ada financial backup yg cukup

✅ KKM akan minta feedback dari previous specialist. Kalau ada isu kesihatan, kena lalui interview dgn MRP (medical review panel MMC)


Sejak setahun lepas, banyak juga saya dapat direct PM dari ex-HO yg reapplication mereka tak berjaya.

Jadi yg nak resign, fikir masak2 & pastikan ada backup plan 🙏🏻

Boleh tengok steps to #reapply dkt pinned post group ni;

https://t.me/joinchat/GrigI-_hW5PQFLiD

Ada banyak seniors yg sangat membantu untuk guide & share about the process dlm group ni 👍🏻

Sesiapa berminat untuk menjadi pensyarah pelatih DU 51 p pediatrik , Fakulti Perubatan UKM, mohon maklumkan kepada Dr Farin 013- 7033724 ( drfarinmasra@ukm.edu.my) beri maklumat nama, hospital dan CV terkini sebelum 3/11/22

Maaf, dah agak lama tak update channel ni sebab occupied dengan new collaboration with Klinik As Salam & Salam EduMed.

Alhamdulillah baru selesai 5 hari penuh Annual Strategic Planning 2023 with their team.

InsyaAllah ada banyak program yg bermanfaat untuk medical grad, nanti saya share kemudian ❤️


Selamat #mengundi semua, let’s make wise choice for a #better Malaysia 💪🏻

(Kami pakai warna merah sebab memang corporate color Klinik AsSalam, tak de kena mengena dengan mana-mana gabungan parti politik ya 😅)

“Dr, apa persediaan paling #penting sebelum start HO ni?”

Tanya seorang peserta Clinical Skills #Workshop Medicorp Sabtu lepas, waktu kami makan sama-sama waktu lunch break.
