Even thou being an Ortho houseman has relatively better working time, I still think that their on-call is perhaps, the more taxing one.

You got lotsa ridiculous things, and you will be surprised by what people can do.

My friends always listen to me rant about the bad sides of being a doc. I think it is very normal. Because nobody will rant about the good things kan?

But good things are meant to be kept to ourselves. As I’m a person who likes to complain.

Patient comes in middle of the night with a fractured arm. Why? Because they were running around at the taman permainan. When? At 2am midnight. For what? God knows why.

Patient comes in middle of the night complaining about leg pain. Why? Because they have bad controlled diabetes, giving them bad diabetic foot, and with lotsa slough and discharge. For how long? Pain for almost 2 weeks already. Why not get yourself admitted in the morning or afternoon or even the evening? Blink blink. Why must you come to hospital in the middle of the night? God knows why.

Patient comes in with a fractured finger. Why? Mat rempit.

Patient comes in with a fractured femur. Why? Mat rempit.

Patient comes in with a fractures humerus. Why? Mat rempit.

Why am I getting busy? Mat rempit.

It was so bad, that everybody who comes in at night with the age of younger than your middle age looking man, if they have a helmet with them, they are mat rempit.

This is what Malaysians like to do. Generalized thinking.

Whoever can ride a bike is a mat rempit.

At the same time, you will found out that actually a lot of people suffer the same back pain like you do.

A patient said to me yesterday

‘Aiyo, doctor, pukul 3.30 pagi you pun kena kerja ka? Kesian kau’

What can I say?
