Part 2: Edisi Santubong

Akhirnya! Aku berjaya sampai ke puncak Gunung Santubong!

Cuti wiken ni yang aku apply sebab nak pegi beraya, akhirnya BURN sebab bos aku paksa aku pegi naik Gunung Santub0ng. Katanya, for physical training, mental torture and teamwork.
Akhirnya, yang aku dapat physical torture. Kuku kaki aku berdarah sebab aku mencengkam dengan sangat kuat masa nak turun gunung, kaki tangan aku semua cramp sebab penat memanjat, tangan aku calar2 masa sebab peluk pokok dan akar kayu, dan kaki aku gatal2 kene gigit nyamuk masa tunggu budak2 lain sampai turun gunung.

Teamwork? Bole la..
Mental torture? On the way turun, aku keseorangan kat dalam hutan tu. Bos aku kat depan aku, aku tak nampak or dengar dia. Ketara sangat dia pecut, maybe 30mins depan aku. Jihah pulak about 10mins belakang aku. Aku masa keseorangan tu, ada la, fikiran2 yang tak betol, termasukla masa aku lalu area yang aku tak familiar, aku dah cuak yang either aku salah jalan or aku terNAIK balik gunung tu...torture seh.. Macam2 la aku pikir, especially kalo aku sesat sebab yang aku tau masa tu, air aku dah nak abis, Pian dah bantai semua biskut aku dan bateri HP aku dah nak mati...ahahahaha...
Finally aku amik 2 jam 20 mins untuk sampai ke puncak, dan 2 jam 30 mins untuk tiba ke kaki gunung. After sampai kaki gunung, aku dan Jihah terpaksa tunggu 1 jam lebih untuk budak2 lain sampai, termasuk driver kitorang, Pian..
Sebenarnya, boleh panjat dengan lebih laju, andai kata aku tak berhenti dengan lama setiap kali aku nampak kerusi/pondok rehat. Dan aku boleh turun dengan lebih laju kalau bukan kerana kaki aku dah tak stabil dan menggeletar kepenatan..ahaha.
Aku tau la aku tak banyak exercise, tapi aku rasa naik gunung ni bukan sekadar memerlukan physical strength. Ia jugak memerlukan mental strength dan keazaman nak teruskan perjalanan. Sekuat mana seseorang pun, kalau dah naik gunung setinggi 2658 kaki tu, mesti jadik lembik jugak. At the end of the day, keazaman dan kesabaran nak teruskan perjalanan tu yang penting. Di ketika aku keseorangan turun gunung tu, betapa GEMBIRA nya aku bila aku dapat dengar bunyi kereta kat jalan raya, and nampak kereta merah Sharifah parking kat tepi jalan raya!
Finally, aku nak salahkan Sharifah yang tengah bergembira cuti bersama keluarga kat KL, sebab dia punya cadangan la kitorang terpaksa panjat Gunung Santubong tu. Kununnya nak jadik 'kepala' kitorang, last2, dia la yang paling last sampai ke puncak/kaki gunung. Siap beg dia orang lain tolong angkat lagi...Cess...Ni kene balas kaw-kaw pas ni...

Part 1: Edisi Raya

incident report

SN:Dr M, call for you.
M: Hello?
Lab staff: Hello, Dr M ye? Ni nak kasi tau, lain kali, kalau hantar sample, make sure tulis nama ward kat form tu, OK.
M: Hah, mana saya tau tak tulis, saya tukang hantar je.
Lab staff: Hah, tu la, dah 3, 4 sample kami receive under nama S, tapi takde nama ward. Macam mana kami nak hantar result nanti?
M: La, bukan salah saya la, silap S la tak tulis. After all, tadi saya cop form tu kat kaunter depan, mereka pun tak cakap apa2, tak kasik tau ke tak tulis nama ward ke apa. Main cop jek.
Lab staff: Itu saya tak tau. Yang sample sebelum ni, kalau kami nak, kami boleh jek tak mau proses sebab tak ada nama ward.
M: Up to you la. Tapi yang saya hantar urgent tadi kene proses la, sebab itu patient Red Zone.
Lab staff: Ok itu saya akan proses, tapi next time kene la tulis nama ward.
M: Kak, satu, bukan saya yang isik borang tu. Kedua, akak kene la sound orang kaunter kat depan tu sebab diorang main accept sample je, tak cek dulu.
Lab staff: Itu bukan masalah kami bla bla bla...

At this moment, my options were:
1. To apologize and end the conversation
2. Ask her if she wants to speak to S herself, instead of "blaming" me.
3. Hang up the phone because obviously if someone dont want to listen to your explanation, whay would you listen to theirs, right?

So, I choose opition 3.

30 minutes later, the blood result came back with the footnotes as below:

Spoken to Dr M regarding the destination of the blood sample which wasnt mention on the request form. Dr M has rudely hang up the phone during the conversation. Therefore this will reported to the head of department for incident report.

Ahahaha. OMG, how stupid was that. But I'm neither worried nor scared.

1st, dah terang2 bukan nama aku on the request form, so, if she wants to blame me for being rude, I can always say, why did she call and accuse me at the first place. Pegila membising kat S. You dont simply kill the messenger when things go wrong, right.
2nd, if she wants to say I'm rude, I can always recount the numerous time when I request to trace a result via phone, I was always be answered rudely. Whoever agree with me raise your hand!
3rd, their system sucks. If an incomplete form can go through to them, then the receiving counter shoud be at fault to because they failed to check the form at first place.

Finally, can I lodge an incident report on them, for
1. losing blood sample numerous times
2. failure to process an urgent sample URGENTLY
3. rudely answering tracing phone call
4. delaying the process of simple blood test upto 2hours
5. just simply being annoying

Asystole sekejap..

WHATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!??????????

Rathik and Nantha???????

1. I thought Rathik already has a BF sumwer in Semenanjung..
2. Why Nantha?? He's Lavania's ex..OMG! He's so a 'player'..
3. Why Nantha (again)?? Rathik cud have get a better looking guy... Nyahahaha...

OMG!! Stop all this dating among colleagues la people...Syuh..Syuh..Get a life outside the hospital!!!

other than job

Some said I've been talking about job too much, too often.

Sorry for that, for me being a doctor with minimal social life and tiring job.

This couple of days, job has been quite tough. Initially we're fed up with ILI-sx referral from PK/GP. Now, we've been seeing a lot of serious illness (fresh case). Outside doctors seem to be a bit lazy nowadays, and dont even bother to work up the diagnosis for us. Buta2 hantar, and I've to work up the diagnosis and investigation and refer the cases. Not only I'm tired doing referral, but at the same time, I cant clear the green zone faster!

Haishhhh...

Today was double tiring coz there were a lot of patients, and I'm stuck with one moody MO and one slow MO. I bet I'll end up being both in the future.

Next, Al-Fatihah to a colleague's father who'd just passed away.

On the other note, Hafiz AF7's father (who is my dad's friend) seen in A&E couple of days ago due to chest pain. He's OK.

Something else besides work, work, work..

Yes, my laptop is "happily" repaired. But it worth RM600, and since the motherboard repaired, few programme went haywire. And the motherboard becomes "super-hot" after only 5 minute of use. I'm afraid it'll burst into flame. Can I get my RM600 back then???

My car will be shipped from Klang on the 11th. The Proton guy has been bugging me to pay the rest of the downpayment. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... No car, no money la..

The landscape's done. Not much of colourful flowers I was hoping for. And the purple flower that we thought was flower, grew into brinjals..aahahahaha... Does that mean there's a possibility that our yellow flower turns into durian??

Speaking of which, I havent eat durian lagi la this year.. Maybe we should have a trip to Serian/Taei to get some...

A stalker in Toyota Vios has been hanging around our house this couple of days. Noted by my dad, whose hobby is "looking outside the window". Hehehe. Mum afraid it's my stalker. I'm afraid it's the burglars. Then mum said, yeah, burglars are scarier then stalkers. Nice one mum..

And for the record, I dont have many stalkers. Just 2, 3...

This Saturday is a compulsory trip to Kubah National Park for the ED doctors. That means me mingling around with the MOs. How awkward is that going to be.... And no cute colleagues as well, boring.....

Mamat's ramadhan attempt

Ini Apam, sejenis makanan
Ini bola getah, sejenis permainan
Ini budak ganas, yang melahap dengan ganasnya bola getah di atas, instead of kuih apam tuh...

a reply to an anonymous comment

I received a comment from an anonymous for one of my old post (titled "Under My..")

That person , he or she, was saying that being a teacher is not as easy as I said it was. No job in this world is easy, he said. That is for sure, I agree with that.

But please raised your hand, for those who think being a teacher is much EASIER (or should I say luxurious) than being a doctor...

He said, sometimes he had to complete his work til 5pm, although he was supposed to finish work at 2.30pm. SO??

By right, doctors should have the same working time as other profession i.e 7am - 5pm.
During my surgical days in Ireland, I had to be at the hospital by 6.30am before our ward round, and finishes by 7pm. During pre-op days, I sometimes finishes by 10-11pm. Meaning at those times, I worked16-17 hours.
During my medical days, I had to do oncall three days in a row. Meaning I worked 56 hours straight none stop.
During my O&G days, I had to do oncall every other day. Meaning you worked 36 hours straight, then you rest for the next 10 hours, then you worked for another 36 hours.
During my days in Paeds, on oncall days, I had to wake up as early as 4.50am to make sure I'll arrive at the hospital by 5.15am to do the bloods. Add up all the hours, I basically worked for 37-38 hours straight.

.........So mister/lady (who rudely call me 'dude'.. what kinda teacher are you?), you want to compare your working hours with mine?

Evidence is not that enough huh?

Teachers get school holiday, public holiday and weekends off.
Doctors get 10 days leave in 4 months, in which that 10 days include our public holidays and emergency leave.

You teachers dont have to apply for public holidays. We doctors HAVE to apply for public holidays and it's deducted from our precious 10 days leave.

And we doctors have to work on weekends. The only time when teachers have to work on weekend is when there are school activities and sekolah ganti...so you teachers can enjoy longer public holidays.

Interestingly, during darurat like jerebu and H1N1 crisis, schools get closed, and teachers get free off day. At the same time during those darurat, cuti doctor DIBEKUKAN.

I'm not saying, being a teacher is DAMN EASY. Or as I said in my post "loceng bunyi, dah terus boleh balik". My mum's a form 6 teacher in a town school, so she has more workload compare to the other teachers. But, she can still bring her job home, be home by 3pm (just because the Pengetua asked them to stay longer), cooked and cleaned, and have the afternoon nap. My sister is a pre-school teacher in a district primary school. Dont ask me how much more luxurious her life is...

Do you think, doctors can bring their work home? Can we bring our patients home, diagnose and treat them at our home? What about those times when we're too busy, we forgot to eat our lunch, and sometime even to tired to eat dinner because sleep is much, much needed? And if we can get a little nap during our oncall nights, that is a BIG blessing...

So dude, before you can easily comment on others blog, make sure you get the whole picture how my life is much more different than yours. I know and understand a teacher's life. My parents are teachers. I was born to, live, eat and sit with a teacher for nearly 26 years.

So dude, how long have you been a teacher???
