I met with one of my old classmate 2 days ago. GSW had been my classmate since med school. He is a Sarawakian. Unlike most of us who get into med school after high school. He was from govt school stream- completed form6 and work as a temporary teacher with the Ministry of Education. He had then come to Taiwan and study in the pre-U course . He gained his seat 1 ys later and I met him the first time in KMUH North Hostel. KMUH(Kaohsiung Medical College then....) North hostel still stand today,eventhough KMC had become KMU and many old building had been demolised and new one established....... He is much elder than me... A nice person , Christian who really care. He is just like a big brother to us. He was elected as North Hostel in charge during the old days... a nice person who helped the Malaysian to secure a place to stay...
After we completed med school. He worked in Pingtung Christian Hospital for a year and went back to serve the MOH. He was posted in Kuching GH then Sri Aman District Hospital. He served his time and open up a clinic there. His wife is a Taiwan Dentistry Grad and both of them shared the same building and practice. I met him once in Malaysia during my service. He had come to KL and I gave him a small tour around KL in my Kembara .... It was 6 yrs back....
He is a all rounded GP who served the Sri Aman Area. He had a successful practice ... I envy him really - if I had gone into private practice instead of coming back for my specialistship - I might lead a life like him...... well, nothing much to regret....of 9 Malaysian in my class - 3 went back to served the mother land and I swayed away from what once I believed just to pursue my personal achievement....
