#1 : Busy Hospital

Rule of Thumb #1

Busy hospital = busy for everyone, not only HO !!!

How busy do you expect HO life is?? You don't until you become one !!!
Thinking back, HO time is the only moment in my life where i write and walk THE MOST... and... eat, sleep, holiday, rest THE LESS !!!  zzZzzZzz...

Since all government hospitals are expected to be busy all year long, what you can do is, use your head.
Since the population in KL/Selangor is bigger compared to Perlis, it is only logic to say, HKL is more busy than HTF. Do some research, if you want to.

Example :
HKL has neurosurgical department, but Malacca Hospital don't. So Malacca will have to refer to HKL if they have neurosurgical patient. Which will result to more patient in HKL.

Although all government hospitals are expected to have all sort of specialist in various field, still they are lacking of sub-specialist in some department. Say Hepatobiliary Consultant, only a few in the whole south region of Malaysia !!!

Tips : Busy hospitals have advantages as well. Such as KKM will allocate more HO for busier hospital, you can learn a lot from different cases. Sabah/Sawarak hospital let HO do some procedures where in Peninsular, they prohibit HO to do so, like LSCS (Lower segment cesarian section)

THERE ALWAYS SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN !!
