It had been a months since we had our new colleague…well, he is truly a questionable person…..He had completed his general surgical and orthopedic training in 2 infamous hospital. Yet his had “houseman” grade skill…. At first we thought he was weak in internal medicine field. But later we found out he was doing darn badly even with orthopedic. He had done 3 orthopedic surgeries and without the surgical aide help, he would have trapped himself on the table, but still he dare to show his post ops checked xray to our boss claiming that how good he was….
The final showdown appeared 2 days ago. When our boss told the deputy superintendent(admin)that he is going for a 2 weeks vacation back to Myammar. The dep. Supt had however poured out what he had heard over the past 1 months and boss called a emergency meeting. Lem was summoned and asked if CM was suitable. Well, Lem gave a pretty objective point of view stating that he is above par when dealing with simple ED patient. But his life saving skill was definitely below average. After the reviewing all the negative remark regarding CM. Boss had called him up for a discussion and surprisingly he had offered for a resign when boss confronted him regarding his skill. He had actually told boss how good he was during the interview. But the resign comes with a condition – he had asked if the hospital could give him 2-3 months times for him to get another job…. But our boss was indeed a soft hearted person(it is really a pleasure to work for him…) he had told CM that he is barred from any further surgery but if he is willing to learn and would turned up anytime(even on his off time) to learn, he could still work here.
When I heard this story I had finally linked up the fragmented puzzle about this guy. According to our dept supt. His had worked in many handful of hospitals for the past 4-5 years. It is not hard to figure out his tactics. He had first bluffed himself to secure a job – he would said he is so good at every skill, he would say he had worked in XXX hospital paeds dept and XXX hospital ED for what period….He asked for a pretty handsome pay and very demanding about hostel condition, he would insist that he can do what ever possible shifts (to get the maximum pay).Darn, when he saw his shift this months, he even walked into the dept supt officer and asked for more shifts....and when boss challanged how good he was with the 3 tube skill(ETT, CVP ,chest tube), he claimed that he had lost the feeling but still assured boss that he is good at chest tube insertion. (Lem commented that from his way of doing other clinical procedure, he is sure CM could not even memorized the step of doing so..)
When negative complaint started to flood the management, he would ask for a resign and bagged to stay back for a little while so that he could “bluff” his way to another unlucky hospital. He could still get paid 200+k RM per annum in such way. This is another way being a con man....Ｉwandered if he is truely the person (or someone had masquaraded...) ...
I think he is now unable to secure any job in the northern part and central part of Taiwan, but there is still the east and south to rover around. Well, I am prepared to go back to my 8 -9 night shifts/months life within the next few months….
