Already more than a year i left Sandakan. Within a year so many things have happened.
I was in Putrajaya Hospital for 6 months, then i was in Kajang Hospital for another 6 months. I was in Kajang for my compulsory rotation in emergency medicine and general surgery (each for 3 months). This rotation is for the Master of General Surgery training..
Yup..since June last year i've joined master. It is a 4 year course..
It was damn difficult and i didn't get through the part 1 exam which was held last November.
I've to resit again this coming May.
Part 1 exam is just basic surgical science examination. We were asked about anatomy, physiology, pathology and principles of surgery... I knew it is difficult exam while i was in Sandakan. I've studied since 2008 but i guessed the study didn't paid off.
Fortunately , i've passed my MRCS exam part a last september. The exam was 10x easier than our local part 1 Master of Surgery..
Now i'm at Hospital Kuala Lumpur doing compulsory ICU and general surgery rotations.
Gosh..just within a year i've worked in 3 different hospitals in Klang Valley!
Life in HKL is damn busy. It's really big hospital, which is 5 times larger than Sandakan Hospital.
Missing Sandakan deeply. I really miss the environment there: the people, the nurses and the patient...
