I am a fresh graduate from a local un...Hi everyone! I am a fresh graduate from a local university but after working as a house officer for almost 2 months, i just felt aimless and hopeless and decided to resign. I was already struggling with my studies during final year of med school and wanted to quit since then but fortunately, my lovely batchmates cheered me on and I passed my final exam. I was really happy and could not wait to start my job however when the chance finally arrived after 4 months of break, I succumbed to the brutal and slavery hospital setting.<br /><br />We work on shift systems and I must say that the most dreadful shift is PM shift which starts at 7am and ends at 10pm. On top of that, I started off with a challenging posting which is O&G where everyone is expected to work fast and be very mindful of the documentation. As a first poster, I tend to do things slowly as I am still learning about the work system but the working environment here is very nasty. As what most people would say, O&G deals with 2 lives and there are many medico-legal issues. So, a little mistakes that you did, you'd end up getting scoldings, threats about getting extension and "re-tagged" by the MOs and specialists.<br /><br />There were many circumstances where I got scolded for no reasons or for stupid reasons by the horrible MO but all I could do was to keep quiet and apologize. I hate going into the OT to assist them, I hate doing reviews because we have to be very clear of the patient's background and there are so many patients with different background in the ward.<br /><br />To be honest, I do not mind working long hours, having irregular working hours, setting up branulas, taking bloods, clerking patients but I could not withstand the stressful working environment with everyone working at their fastest pace. I prefer to settle for a calmer job which makes me feel useful and appreciated. As for working as a houseman, the long working hours prevent us from doing some studies and you have to equipped yourself with medical knowledge or else you'd get screw up by your superiors.<br /><br />Up to now, I have no idea what I had been doing for the 5 years of med school. I am so fed up by this and gradually my passion for this noble job is fading away. I have brought up this issue to my colleagues, parents and lecturers from my former university and most of them adviced me not to quit and saying that it will be fine after housemanship.<br /><br />The issue here is that I no longer have the heart to walk into "hell" and I have found another alternative in life. I wanted to be a flight attendant since I was small but I gave it up because my parents were against it. Recently, the interest rekindled and I felt alive again thinking that it is not the end of the world for me. However, I lost a lot of things by choosing this path. I am a JPA scholar and so I need to pay off a hefty amount of RM250k if I were to quit; my bf broke up with me because his parents and he could not accept my drastic change in career; my mum gives me a lot of stress everyday by saying all the drawbacks of being a cabin crew that she could find under the sun and I am also well aware that this might not be a long term job.<br /><br />Currently I am on a very long leave, a privilege given to me so that I could buy more time to think carefully of the consequences of my action. It has been more than 2 weeks and I am still firm about resigning housemanship and to pursue other things is life which could make me a happier and functional person.<br /><br />I would appreciate some positive encouragement or enlightenment from people all around the world, even better if you are facing with the same problem so we can try to work things out together. Thank you for your time :)Wen Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369866885037625257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048912449238833008.post-11665779953111470992015-09-29T06:19:42.364-07:002015-09-29T06:19:42.364-07:00What happen to jpa scholar who is quitting from ho...What happen to jpa scholar who is quitting from housemenship..

I hate meeting people, touching them and stuff. And I just happen to be an introvert, which is not a very good character for a doctor.<br /><br />My parents are 50/50 about my decision to quit. They are concerned about my future. There's not much thing you can do with a medical degree that is not related to medic if you don't complete housemanship training.

I have a friend who used to cry every morning before going to work. Every single day she cried because she's afraid of getting scolded. But she turned out to be a really good HO, the best in every postings. All the specialists and MOs like her. Why? Cos she always had the passion to become a doctor since the beginning.<br /><br />If it was your sincere ambition to become a doctor in the first place, I would advice that you hold on and complete your housemanship. But if your true passion lies somewhere else, then go ahead and pursue your dreams.

And the stress grew as u climbed your way through housemanship. Most of my fellow junior HOs are like "waa bestnya. Dah nak habis housemanship". While most of the bosses are like "oh 5th poster already. Good. I can rely on you, cant i?" and give me all these creepy kind of looks. <br />So basically if u really wanna quit. And if u already found a way other than this gruesome non-living life.just do so. Being a senior HO is sheety. Some of my friends who aren't doctors keep telling me that i'll be fine after completed my HOship. LMFAO. Ive seen MOs quit their job and senior MOs told me that they want to quit. LOLOLOL.<br />Why am i telling u to quit when me myself is hanging on with this job. Well i got myself an suv and i am financially supporting my family.and i am a jpa scholar as well. But i am quitting clinical right after HO.
