I don’t recommend being a doctor
The oncall is brutal.
Blood and phlegm are yucky.
Cardiac arrest is not for the faint-hearted.
But you do learn some great life skills. Banyak dapat pengalaman.
How to listen
As a doctor, you have to listen to every word that the patient says looking for clues to their illness. Macam detective.
How to summarize
As a doctor, you have to tell your consultant the summary of what’s wrong with the patient. The longer your summary, the longer la the ward round.
How to persuade
As a doctor, you have to persuade other doctors to help you. Eg. You have to convince the radiologist why your patient should get the next CT scan slot. Kena pandai sweet talk.
So being a doctor is not easy but you do learn great transferrable life skills.
