Getting your money back from KWSP.

Getting your money back from KWSP. Assalamualaikum Peace For Everyone... I am now working the in the primary side of our health system and in the past year I have learnt some things that I never would have known working in hospital especially about allowances and claims(financial gain and stability are some of the reason of why we do our job right..) Before that I would like to congratulate all the Medical Officers reading this for the overdue review and increment of our On Call Allowances,hopefully there are part of it for Infaq,InsyaAllah.

Housemanship - My Two Cents

I was an IB sudent studying in Kolej Mara Banting when I first heard about the three types of medical teaching philosophy that are in existence. Those are namely: 1)Traditional 2)Integrated 3) Problem Based Learning (PBL) Each of them stem from different school of thoughts, different opinions on how best to study medicine. I am the product of PBL who at times wished to go traditional. And I have heard of the traditional med students who wished for integrated or PBL. Yup, the field always seems greener on the other side, folks. But the point of my bringing up the whole issue is to demonstrate that our teaching is not static. There will...

Anatomy of A Medical Student

Assalamualaikum.. Pelajar perubatan boleh dikatakan macam mini Doraemon. Dalam poket whitecoat ada macam-macam jenis barang. Kalau tak bawak, nanti pensyarah tegur dalam nada sinis. "Mana alat-alatan anda?" Lepas tu semua tersengih-sengih macam kerang busuk. Pembaris - nak ukur jugular venous pressure Tendon hammer - nak uji refleks Calculator - Sebenarnya pelajar tak perlu sangat (dan dah ada dalam telefon masing-masing) Steteskop - tahu kan...

Everything goes by what the boss says.This system of hierarchy actually serves to protect the main KKM clients – the patients. A specialist with 15 years of experience certainly...

Its Just An Acute Appendicitis

Salam, Today I would like to talk about appendicitis. This is merely general information to all of you(non doctors) out there and I hope by the end of this topic, it educates patients to be more alert and seek treatment as soon as possible. What is appendicitis? What are the symptoms and why do I choose this topic among all others? Of course, this is an emergency surgical case that if we took even a second of delay, it has higher chance to...

Doktor@Locum

Salam, LOCUM Satu kelebihan yang diperolehi setelah menjadi pegawai perubatan, adalah membuat locum secara sah di sisi undang-undang. Selain menambahkan pendapatan (penting bagai doktor-doktor yang bakal berkahwin), ianya juga menambahkan ilmu pengetahuan kita. Seperti kata seorang doktor senior, “Kita sebenarnya banyak belajar bila buat locum.” Kalau orang politik menggunakan slogan ‘dekatilah rakyat’, maka ‘dekatilah pesakit’ dengan membuat locum. Ada perkara yang kita tidak akan belajar dan rasai dengan hanya bekerja di wad dan hospital. ?URTI-IST Doktor GP klinik swasta  sepenuh masa selalu diperlekehkan oleh doktor hospital...

"Kualiti Hidup Saya Terjejas"

Ada segelintir masyarakat yang mengganggap bahawa kesihatan pergigian bukanlah isu utama dalam kehidupan mereka. Mereka merasakan kualiti hidup bergantung kepada sejauh mana organ dalam tubuh mereka boleh menjalankan fungsi dengan baik. Contohnya, keupayaan jantung mengalirkan darah ke seluruh tubuh dengan baik serta keupayaan organ-organ utama yang lain seperti ginjal dan hati dalam menjalankan fungsi masing-masing. Tahukah anda bahawa bilangan...
