I was rejected by a cashier in a restaurant when I tried to pay via my credit card, with the excuse that I have to meet the minimum transaction amount of RM50. I asked if she knows it is not legal to establish that. Subsequently she proceeded with my credit card payment in anger.

When I was doing electives in UK, the Consultant and I were once eating this digestive biscuit during tea time. I told him this kind of biscuit are sold as luxury in Malaysia. Some even bought this as a gift. Him in his British accent: “You fking kidding me?!”

“Why so late in attending me? The government paid you, means we paid you to work! Work faster. I am a government servant you know?!”, said a patient at ED. At my 28th hour of continuous working in oncall shift.

A retailer is not allowed to stop customers from using credit card even if we're paying RM1. They can't establish a minimum/maximum transaction amount for honpring a credit card. Hopefully we can raise awareness on this.

Then: HO 2 years, UD44 permanent x 4 years, become UD48 Now: HO 2 years, UD43 x 2-3 years until they get absorbed. Once UD43 permanent, restart counting x another 4 years. Is it right? If so, are permanent and contract HCWs considered equal? It is a question.

PPK shift: 7am-2pm or 2pm-9pm HO shift: 7am-5pm or 7am-9pm So, let PPK send bloods, get RTK box, trace scan report etc. Ask them to do faster if urgent, instead of you running to the labs when you should be attending to patient. Report to sister or matron if there’s issue.

At first I had the same thought. After I become a MO, I realise MOs have different level of responsibility and have to carry out tasks beyond HO level. Many MOs will help with blood taking, cannulation and lab forms. But we have to finish our own task first.

Not every cardio case needs referral to IJN. If the medical team refuses to do so, perhaps it is not indicated. We should listen to doctors’ explanation.
