A couple of my friends who were from Sibu, they enjoyed their housemanship there very much.Small hospital, not too busy. If you are keen for more exposure, Kuching Hospital can offer more as it has more specialist there and it is a good training centre. Be prepare for its busy schedule as well. all the best!confessions of a medical studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072107999155319469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784256395919400364.post-84383658620665512442013-05-19T16:03:07.171+08:002013-05-19T16:03:07.171+08:00Hai, hws sibu for housemanship?

The old school practice is slowly facing out, and finally, more and more house officers and medical officers are respected and appreciated...<br /><br />And for those who are yet to join the transition, all i hope is: what does not breaks you, make you stronger...

To address the reply above about third year medical students being called 'brainless' for example; it just shows how unprofessional that person was for saying that to medical students. Did they expect first timers in hospital to have clinical knowledge similar to professionals who have gained experience first hand through work? And to reinforce what was stated above, knowing the contents of the books and appyling it to real life takes lots of work and experience, something that is just not possible for the average medical student. And students feel afraid and anxious when it comes to answering and asking questions to superiors of this sort and the vicious cycle of -being yelled at- scared to answer- being yelled at- scared to ask questions- being yelled at for not knowing answers-. This does not encourage a good learning environment. <br /><br />I am currently studying med in an australian uni. And ever since i started (im about to graduate hoorah!), not once have i heard a consultant y <br />ell or degrade another person. And still everyone did their jobs. People met professional requirements. People arrive on time for work. Patients get high quality care. Medical research goes on. <br /><br />If we are saying that such treatment (that students and interns in malaysia get)is necessary to provide good care to patients and to prepare people for gruelling work, the why is it that in countries such as australia, these things dont happen and yet, pts receive good care and doctors are still able to do their work. Australians are not much different to malaysians, they are still people who have the same needs and do similar things. <br /><br />I guess my point is that we need a shift from this old school counter productive hard love teaching style to more evidence based, professional and encouraging environment. This will not detriment our system in any way apart from having to scratch some huge egoes. If you do feel a need for proof, just look up any articles about giving positive reinforcements and the learning process. There are scores of them and whole studies have been made on this topic. <br /><br /> If we feel uncomfortable studying in the heat standing under the sun, rather than keep on standing and trying to read soaked in sweat, why not step into the shade and study peacefully?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784256395919400364.post-61974190955133853372009-06-01T08:52:07.764+08:002009-06-01T08:52:07.764+08:00hey shinyin.. well that's a very noble! and I ...hey shinyin.. well that's a very noble! and I highly respect you for that.

i must adm...hey this is a very good post, shinyin.<br /><br />i must admit, my parents sent me to overseas to continue my medical studies coz they foresaw better opportunities there. and since they had already spent alot of money on me, i had no choice but to heed their advice to continue work here after graduation as a way to make up for the money they spent on me (coz the pay and conditions here is much better!!)<br /><br />but to be honest, if the working conditions, pay and postgraduate opportunities in msia are much better, i really wouldnt mind coming back to work since i miss malaysia very much...<br /><br />sigh i wonder if that day would ever come, with a government like this.Zzzyunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647270985951112828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784256395919400364.post-83973895313952352462009-05-27T22:12:22.561+08:002009-05-27T22:12:22.561+08:00send to thestar, nst, nanyang , whatever newspaper...send to thestar, nst, nanyang , whatever newspaper in msia.winoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784256395919400364.post-52246402402800765092009-05-27T21:56:01.243+08:002009-05-27T21:56:01.243+08:00No pain, no gain.No pain, no gain.Borneo Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089069745144357660noreply@blogger.com
