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!

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!
