My anniversary: 1 year being a houseman in Miri Hospital~
1st posting: Paediatrics
OMG, its really hard to adapt to the hospital system. A change from a mere medical student to a working houseman, is a HUGE change! All the heavy weight of responsibilities towards your patients, responsibilities towards yourself to improve your knowledge and skills. I remembered being kinda depressed and all, and of course, the thought of quitting comes once in a while. There is always something that will "kill" you; a patient, a nurse, a fellow houseman, an MO, a specialist. But, its all a learning process. It is hard at first, adapting to the wild environment. Patients always come first, no matter what. Sometimes we went without food or water, even time for wash room, just for the patients. We work 24/7.. and weekends off and leaves are SOOOO precious!
I guess, chanting "what doesn't kill you make you stronger" will help sometimes. lol
"Meredith Grey : I can't think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose... there are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field"
3nd posting: ObGyn
OMG! One of the busiest posting EVER! and its really scary, because we always dunno whats really going on in the womb of a mother. When a CTG goes bad, or a mother has PV bleed, its a scary experience. But, the nurses and my colleagues, also the bosses are mostly helpful, so its quite a fun posting for me, despite it being the infamously the busiest posting ever!
3rd posting: Orthopaedics
Its kinda okay for me. Its quite relaxing at times, but it can get REALLY busy too (like a massive road traffic accidents). I don't really like this posting, to be honest. Maybe I'm not interested in ortho. And, since its, kinda like conquered by males, there are loads of dirty jokes and all that, sometimes they got really ugly. lol...anyway, I love most of my colleagues HOs there, we went through quite a lot, being supportive of each other and all that...and the nurses are super nice. We're like Best Bitches Forever. God, I love bitching with them! lol..but I'm really glad I've successfully done with this posting.
4th posting: Surgery
Okay, its just 1 week since I've joined surgical department. Its quite fun. Things are really organized. The bosses are super nice. And I love learning all the medical stuff... I really love it here..and I hope it will stay pleasant! :)
and its my 25th birthday on the 21st July!

Apa khabar Dr. Liyana
Nama saya Muhammad Mursyid. Saya baru menamatkan pelajaran di Kuliah Perubatan.
Saya terjumpa blog doktor, ketika cuba mencari maklumat mengenai posting housemanship di Hospital Miri.
Jika Dr tidak keberatan, saya ada beberapa soalan mengenai housemanship di Hospital Miri.
1. Berapa jumlah terkini Houseman di Hospital Miri? adakah ramai dan berlaku lambakan Dr. pelatih di Hospital Miri?
2. Adakah banyak peluang untuk belajar dan melakukan prosedur-prosedur perubatan atau berlaku perebutan antara Dr pelatih sepertimana yang berlaku di sesetengah hospital di semenanjung?
3. Bagaimana pula dengan suasana kerja di Hospital, adakah para doktor pelatih dijaga kebajikan mereka? Apakah sistem yang digunapakai, Shift atau On-Call? Adakah kadar pelanjutan latihan housemanhip (extension) itu tinggi di Hospital Miri?
4. Dari segi penempatan, kos sara hidup dan pengangkutan di Miri, adakah mahal ataupun sederhana? Bagaimana dengan pengangkutan awam di Miri? adakah efisien atau tidak praktikal?
Segala jawapan dan kerjasama Dr saya dahulukan dengan ucapan Terima Kasih
Hey Liyana! It;s nice to read your blog :) I would like to ask how is it like doing horsemanship in Miri hospital as a whole. I am a final year medical student and have to apply for job placement soon.
