What had happened to the community nowadays?
We should cherish what we have right, and stop whining about it.The reason why we keep whining, whining and whining like a old lady is our quality of life improved, and we had best of our life mostly before we start to work. Of course, we get most freedom, leeching from our parents outside, and that was a very good feeling, there is no pressure around, not-so influenced by financial status and so on.
When we grow up, responsibility is even more. We start to work and earn a living, the financial support from our parents is still there if we need it.We still having not much trouble YET.
I am 25, and I just starting to work. At first I thought, OMG, this will be the worst part of my life working as a Houseman / Intern, and this will last at least 2 years. I work almost everyday last time without privilege of PM-off, Weekend-off etc. I even work for 3 days when I am having 38.5 degrees of fever, I have chills and rigors when i work and still i survive. What do we want actually in life? You want to be rich in a flash? then stop working as doctors, go for drug trafficking etc... new fellas, please chance, your workload has significantly reduced, like discount during mega-sale. Appreciate that there are many of us, try to learn more when we are doing less. Stop comparing, stop whining.
Imagine the worst condition that you will be into, and you will not feel shitty in the end. I imagine the worst possibility, I imagine what if it was last time during my senior time, will i survive? Trying to catch up to be as competent as them is a good way to learn. You feel tired after working, but everyday try to learn something out them, you will feel a bit fruitful.
Our job is sort of "noble", we carry title of "Dr" with a degree but we are treated as "servant, dogs" initially, in the end we will climb up the ladder. However, I will still be nice and teaching people. We do learn in the process anyway.
Nowadays, people show no respects to senior colleagues at ALL. They ask them to do work in a rude way. Mind you, they will become your senior next time, and we know revenge is sweet. I'm a calm person, and yet i cannot stand with this matter. New fellas should show some respect, you need guidance and where you get them from? Your seniors of course....
Rule of Houseman:
1) You are as hard as steel, thou sleep less, do more, eat less...
2) You are absorbing like a oil paper, thou learn once, remember next.
3) You should respect people around you. Think what if you are in their "shoe", e.g. PPK mostly have things to do, i realized they are damn kesian sometimes, that's why i dont rely on them, they got a lot of works + being bullied by the SN.
4) You should not thinking about how much you earn and compare to other people. Now, you invest in your career with your money and Soul. Karma effect, you will earn them back in the future.
5) Do no Harm to you, your colleagues, MO, Specialist, Consultant, and most importantly, your patients. Think of them, what you need to do the keep them off from law suit, best of the health service.
6) You need tonnes of patience
Sometimes, I felt i am secluded with my friends who are non-medical related, they speaking about financial stuffs and i was like ??? Same to us, when we speak regarding medical stuffs, they ???? But i still love them, i try my best every week to hang out with them, learn what they learn in their life, understanding the outside world etc.
Most of Us, WE HAD OUR BEST TIME in our LIFE. We know BEST time will not last forever, let it be sweet memories and GO FORWARD to make Tomorrow as eventful as it is, to create another BEST time in our life, to make our actions into reality. Stop Whining please.
Lastly, some link to inspire most of us. And I am glad that i am alive, with everything I have. I love my family, my wife and my job. Everyday, when i see them i am relieved, thank god I see them. I love them, but i don't know how to express myself to them that how much i love them.
