Truth is stranger than fiction

Have you ever noticed how many tv shows there are about medical life? We were raised on Chicago hope and ER and have since moved on to Grey's anatomy and House. And does art really reflect life or is tv, well, tv?
Take a look at the following and see if any matches your current situation.

1) House- High flying technology, complicated diagnosis and people in lab coats. Not in malaysia. Have to admit this is my favourite show though.

2) Grey's anatomy- Drama and hot doctors pontificating the morality of medicine. If this is your life, i'm in the wrong hospital.

3) Scrubs- Crazy situations, lots of blue outfits and bad hair. The hallucination parts ought to be true for most of us post-call.

4) ER- err... a bit before our time but still entertaining. Lots of blood, screaming and running doctors. A typical sunday night.

Anywhere but here

Recently i was asked why this blog seemed to have died out. The abysmal lack of Wi-fi have seen to that. Oh the horrors, you say, what kind of backwater dirt town have you relocated to. One withour streamyx, obviously. At any rate i shall still do my upmost to keep this site alive. Looking back there are just too many jokes here to let the salamander die a natural death. We shall not go quietly in to the night, Elvis have not left the building, viva forever and all that shit!
So now my fellow doctors, let us speak of long nights, crazy days and more steamy scenes than Grey's anatomy.
Welcome to the real life of an intern. Cue laugh track

Khidmat untuk Kerajaaan

Dear Fellow doctors,
Time flies doesn't it? It seems like only yesterday that we were freshies graduating and anxious to start work. Right around now is when most of us have finished our first posting. Looking back to the four months of suffering, what do u remember? I can honestly say i remember nothing. Its like there is black hole where that four months should be. Because it was the same shit, different days.
But that is fair, because they will not remember you.
