p/s: I really don't mind hectic life like this as the rotation only last for 3 months and it's part of the learning process. Besides, I'm serving the public who need our service. However, it doesn't mean that the politicians can ignore/neglect our contribution/sacrifices!

Busy life.....
Recently I just join a new sub specialty rotation in my hospital, the life is hectic. Everyday I need to reach hospital to start my round at 6.30am-7am then continue my clinic up to 2pm, then continue with seeing new patients and doing procedure. If I were lucky the work end at 5pm, otherwise I've been going back only at 6.30pm-7pm after my overnight active call (worked for 36 hours in 2 days). So, this is the life of a doctor in government hospital. Yet our Deputy Health Minister claimed that "Too bad those doctors who work so hard are in wrong profession with unreasonaly low salary" ? Well, it's too much and too heart breaking. Our politicians really don't care about our healthcare system, do they? Big doubt!

You are a very nice and cute doctor. I am glad that the public has doctors like you :).
I think one of the reasons that the politicians don't care about doctors, nurses and staffs in government hospitals is that they are rich enough to get private medical services and the money comes from ...
Social injustice is the main problem. If we have no corruptions but efficient public administration with good leaders, we can definitely have better health care, education and justice system.
It seems that the only way to save or ruin the country is to become a politician.
Congrats ..
Even under enormous constraints and pressure, you still perform your best as a medical doctor. I hereby salute you, we need more people like you in Malaysia. Is the pay of a malaysian government doctor too low? If it doesn't bother you to tell.. how much is it? I've always had a perception that doctors live a very wealthy life. This is mostly due to the fact that most doctors i know live in big houses and drive high-end cars. Sorry cause i generalize. But your answer would definitely clear some issues. Thanks in advance..
sorry for late reply, government doctor (ordinary medical officer not specialist) will have take home salary around RM3700 per month (include allowance and after EPF cut.
