Medical officers to get incentive to work overtime

Aha!!!its in THE STAR today!..ngeh2..kalau camni mmg nak balik msia la..owh but i keep on changing my mind about working in malaysia..In my prev entry, i did mention that i want to give my services to my beloved country, Malaysia,...HOWEVER, after chatted with few friends i think i need to give it a 2nd thought. The reasons r;
-Im competitive n im egoistic. I dont like my friends telling me something like this
"ha ko balik r keje kat malaysia. Nanti ko jadi H.O(hosp officer) aku n bwat sume keje aku suruh".. yang ni mmg bwat saye naik angin sangat la...dulu masa kat sekolah dulu kamu tu apply jugak overseas tapi xdapatkan pastu skang berlagak..dulu kamu tu bukannye gile terer pon..masuk med school pon mule2 privatekan..pastu lame2 baru dapat MARA kan..so DIAM lah!!banyak cakap pulak...who knw i might b ur consultant one day EVENTHO saye penah jadi ur HO.Damn la korang ni.kang kami sume xbalik msia baru kamu tahu. Owh for those who doesnt knw, kiteorg ni, yang datang bwat medic kat sini, akan grad a year later than budak2 medic malaysia yang same umo ngan kiteorg.sebabnye diorg bwat matric 1 yr jer tapi kiteorg preparation 2 yrs...thats y la..Hmm sometimes its not just malaysian med students tau...russia n ukraine pon same..sorry kalau korang terbace entry ni n u didnt say that such thing to me..but ade la a few malaysian students yg g bwat medic kat russia n indon cakap korang lagi junior la pasni.Ok maybe..MAYBE dieorg sume bengang ngan some of us yang bwat medic in uk/ire sebab MAYBE ade la afew yg berlagak kan tapi tolong jangan cakap kat saye boleh x?saye xpenah berlagak ngan kamu saye dapat study medicine in ire?saye pon xnak kot dtg sini at the 1st place tapi my uncle n aunties suruh...mara siap tanye lagi nak g russia ke x but my uncle who is currently a cardiologist n head of medicine in UM xkasi sebab die cakap agak terkebe*****.sori xnak cakap..pastu saye nak sambung study kat matrik perak..owh saye dah masuk ok matrik eventho ive already got an offer to further my study here..sebab saye mmg xnak pegi..tapi pakcik makcik ayah nenek sume datang pujuk..die cakap kalau saye x pegi rugi..sebab bukan sume org dapat pegi kan..so terpaksa la keluar matrik dan melupakan hasrat utk menjadi MPP berkaliber di USM.hahaha..dah berangan dah..hahaha..n masa kat matric exam 1st saye sempat bwat n was ok n i think if i still further my study kat matric saye boleh dapat medic kat msia la..hmm ok saye geram la pulak..hmm especially 3 org budak malaysia ni..sorang tu kat perak(private medschool)..2org lagi tu kat usm...yg kat perak tu private jer dulu..as i said b4 la kan..n spm 6as jer tapi boleh bwat medic...2 org lagi tu sorang tu 8as n sorang lagi 9a1c..pon bwat medic gak..so tolong jangan berlagak boleh x?hoho..abis la..saye asek kutuk org je keje skarang..huhu..

PUTRAJAYA: Monetary goodies will be given to medical officers as an incentive for working overtime at health clinics selected to operate after normal hours to ease the overcrowding of patients at hospitals.

The Health Ministry will also provide benefits to medical specialists and officers who will now have to perform elective surgeries on Saturdays at 19 hospitals from 8am to 1pm to ease the backlog of cases.

Its director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said the rates for the doctors would be RM80 an hour from the usual RM30 while for the elective surgery component, the specialists will receive RM200 hourly and medical officers will be paid RM80 per hour.

The annual allocation from the Government is RM12.31mil and RM6.9mil for both components.

Both ideas had been discussed during former Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek's tenure and now acting Health Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting has brought the issue to Cabinet for approval.

"There have been complaints of patients coming after office hours and crowding the emergency services. A lot of people are not happy," he told reporters on Wednesday.

"We heard of emergency cases not being seen. They were seeing only those with coughs and colds. We cannot send them away. So, now we open up clinics, instead of them thronging the hospital; and get doctors to work after office hours."

He added the move would also lessen the waiting time of patients.

He said it was hoped the decision would enable the people to obtain health services quickly and easily after office hours and lessen the burden on emergency units at hospitals so staff would be able to concentrate and provide more efficient services to critical and emergency patients.

tarik nafas dalam2....hmmm
hembus!ok.

you have great points there friend.tadi ada kawan forwardkan juga link the star tu dan baca.saya melihat hal ni lebih kepada luahan perasaan geram saudari(dengan izin) terhadap kawan-kawan yang lain di Malaysia. Saya pun berhadapan dengan situasi yang sama juga. Lagi pula cuba saudari bayangkan perasaan kami ni yang menjadi 'guinea pig' JPA dan MARA di hantar sebagai bahan eksperimen ke negara yang belum pernah di hantar. Kadang-kadang orang dengar dari negara Rusia terus sahaja mencemuh. Bila buat attachment di hospital layanan yang double standard diberikan.Walaupun hampir semuanya pelajar tajaan ni straight A1 sahaja di kalangan kawan-kawan kami tapi apakan daya inilah yang dikatakan rezeki masing-masing.

Alhamdulillah,saudari mempunyai seorang pakcik yang mampu menasihat dan memberikan bimbingan bagaimana harus membuat pilihan dan saya rasa saudari telah membuat keputusan yang bijak pun.

Sungguh,kadang-kadang saya duduk termenung alangkah baiknya kalau dapat putar semula masa dan diberikan peluang untuk membuat keputusan yang lebih baik. Namun setiap perkara yang berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya. Banyak nilai yang lain yang kita kutip bersama selain daripada ilmu perubatan yang cuba di pelajari.

Kita pasti ada kelebihan tersendiri berbanding pelajar2 lain. Usahlah risau. Saya juga mempunyai ego tersendiri. Begitu juga dengan orang lain. Tapi kita haruslah membuang ego yang tinggi ini dan membuang rasa double standard terhadap background seseorang. Dari mana dia belajar, berapa A yang dia dapat dan apa sahaja...might as well nanti kita colleague dengan orang yang kita mungkin benci semua. Kalau tak dibuang rasa macam maknanya kita sama sahaja lah dengan pelajar2 lain yang dah terpengaruh dengan mentaliti sedemikian rupa. Tiada apa yang membezakan kita dengan mereka. Niat yang tak baik untuk membuli pelajar yang baru pulang dari luar negara dan threaten dengan teruk. Ini sahajalah yang membezakan antara kita dan mereka.

In sya Allah. I pray for your success. May Allah grant u with thousand nikmah,bless,rahmah and iman. Semoga menjadi seorang doktor yang baik cemerlang dan berbakti kepada agama, bangsa dan negara.

Maaf kalau kata tak secantik hasrat. Salam dari Moscow.
