2 years of HO- ship

2 years; meaningful as a houseman in a government hospital in Penang.

Try ingat balik since Day 1.

So, daftar di JKN Penang. Greet session. Some explanation given.

Then by noon all of us go to the selected hospital.

My group ; 7 of us if not mistaken: me, Nor, Farah, Walter, Sarah, Anis, Lynn. We both go meet the pengarah hospital then some introduction, filling form session with Kak Yan and Kak Su (these 2 officers were so nice and sangat sangat helpful through out 2 years as HO).

Session aku janji and all sort of form HRMIS bla bla (which till nowadays I still blur).
Thing I regret most: give not a nice picture of me for the HRMIS system and the picture remain forever till now....................... I can see it when I go online in HRMIS system. Nanges...


Should give a better picture!

Then pembahagian posting (of course based on available posting) given by Kak Su.
Me + Nor = medical
Walter + Lynn = Ortho
Farah + Anis + Sarah =  O&G

Hence the day begin as Houseman.

And Alhamdullilah, I work as Houseman 2 years pass all exam, with no extension, no MCs

My rotation:

Medical  --- Ortho ----- Paeds ---- O&G ------ Surgical ----- A&E

Houseman life is a period where you work till you are so damn tired and your mind wont work anymore.
You go to hospital each day when the skies is dark and you go back home the skies is dark also.

if you live nearby your family then lucky you.

if you live far from home, like me, then you should have good support system (read: friends) and high confident level (read:no matter what you do, dont show your weakness in front of others. Face it all, go back home have a good bath, cry and sleep. Tomorrow is a different day)



circle of friends that you have during your housemanship will help you so much as if you are really really close (read: before exam, study together, free time, go out together, different posting, still go out together) later in life.


why?


because later when you got your placement as MO somewhere district, faaaaar away from home, working with strangers (read: like me) then you know, you have your circle of friend to ask for help.


it's different from high school friends ; as not all of us became doctors, and in age of 20s, we know we are drifting apart.

it's different from uni friends; as not all of us still having close conversation as we have to.


it's HO-ship friends; those you love and hate, those who know when to back up you, when to tikam you, those who see you not enough sleep because so J oncall, those who anytime ask you to go makan, you said ok because both of you are starving.







thank you my HO-ship friends.
too many name to pronounce. every one play a special character in my life.
