I had read the news about this young chap name Winson Seow over the net lately…. A young man who done some medical relief work in some war zone. He had shown some photograph of himself, donning a surgical suit performing surgery over the net. The news was spread and massively reported by local newspaper in Malaysia. He had even attended several television interviews. He had published a book regarding his work and fund was raise for his act. During his interview, he had claimed that he had graduated from the prestige Peking University Faculty of medicine and he held UK qualification of trauma surgeon and emergency physician plus a degree in psychology….However he is only 26 year old… At least 6 years of post graduate medical training to obtain such qualification and provided that he held a GMC recognized medical degree(Peking University is not on the list…) and secure a training post in UK. That means he graduated from medical school at the age of 20, and he entered medical school at the age of 15. That would make him a genius….such genius in Malaysia should have been reported by the local newspaper at the time he enter medical school….
I remembered the 1st Malaysian genius – Z, he had entered MIT at the age of 12. Chinese entrepreneur had sponsored a large amount of money for him to complete his course. At the age of 15 he was accepted into Cornell University for his PhD, he received his doctorate at the age of 21. He returned to Malaysia 4 years later, however he had suffered from depression since then. 5 years later, he was admitted to a local government hospital and passed away on the next days…Such genius would be reported and never forgotten.
Some of the friends and ex-classmate had seen enough of his “lagak” and had started a anti-Winson Seow FB page over the net. His qualification was dug up and he had submerged from the surface of the earth. His father had instead shown up to apologize for his son’s act. 1+ months ago, his father a(Chinese medicine practitioner ) had defended his son that Winson is not opening a clinic nor charging anyone medical fee, he joined the medical relief work under contract of a company which would later sponsor his study as a medical doctor later on and such allegation who damage his reputation and affecting his contract and sponsorship later.
Well, sound just like another irresponsible parents I met in ED- just riding a bike in Kampung, need a license ka ? Father supporting lies of his son -à wrong kind of love….
The young chap had attended multiple interviews, talk and enjoying people calling him doctor and yet he claimed that he doesn't pursue fame nor money.....the donation was wired into his own account instead of a public account....
I had a junior who didn't practice medicine, he graduated from med school and further his study in Life and Death Issue and obtained a master degree. He had used his medical background giving talk back in Malaysia regarding the issue of life and death. In my point of view, that was crap..as he had never practice medicine and never struggle within his subconsicous regarding patient's life and death. But lately, I had read his news and he had omitted his background and use the title of Dharma Lecturer instead... well, a person with a doctorate is more convincing....
Still couldn’t understand why bright student wanted to become doctor ? is it for the job satisfaction or the money ?
To be truth, I knew a doctor could earn a handsome income and that was one of the factors which influence my choice. To provide a better life for my parents and my family…
