Day of Zero....

It was Friday – Specialist Clinic day… well., unlike the klinik pakar of the MOH, I hardly(that means zero at the moment) see any referral. Handful of patient (one hand not full sometimes) and I had only 3 patients routinely seen in my clinic for DM and hypertension. Well, although the govt clinic is fully free of charge – others charge at NT50-200….Drug is the key problem – you can do nothing for any acute patient – no nebulizer, no captopril(my favorite) nor other acute antihypertensive drug, cheap OHA and antihypertensive drug… ….

Well, this week I went to the Autumn Sun govt clinic – this clinic is nearer to our hospital – 10min drive max). No patient came … ZERO ….

But the next 2 hrs were a rush for me… I left the clinic by 11:45am and sprint all the way to Yun School – 23 km drive. Then we hit back to the hospital for my award ceremony – best employee award…. There was a simple buffet lunch and the food was ok….

I was a little disappointed – I was expecting a 5 figure cash award plus some holiday(just like cermelang award of the MOH) … There was a cert, 2 pieces of paper currency and a trophy(in the shop, still)…
