QUOTE(fishnetwenyi @ Jan 29 2010, 12:37 PM) i think if you're really hardcore on becoming a doctor and if it's the only thing you set your mind to do, then such statistics won't matter, because if you're passionate and determined enough in your field, you wouldn't mind working harder to achieve what you want whether or not there's competition involved. true...if u can't cope being a docso, 'it's alright. i'll be a great doc'.  then u can teach instead..... be a lecturer in anatomy n physiology perhaps.. plus with 20++ med school in the country (n i don't know hw much it cn go in the future) there r bound to be n increase in demand of medical lecturers... |

QUOTE(Aeiou11 @ Feb 1 2010, 02:37 PM) If they reduce the compulsory service to only 2 years, it will be a great news to me. bt i juz herd dat they r extending it to 10 yers? is there any conformation?Honestly, I plan to work in private sector. But don't get me wrong. I'm not doing that for profit or due to lower salary. My will to help people is just as strong as others. The main probelm in government hospitals is the over-heavy workload. I personally want a life in which there is a balance between career and private life. But for sure as a doctor, career>private life. But if possible, I prefer simpler life. I wonder am I being selfish? hurmm..i think it depends on the person itself.... in my opinion, if u studied on public fund eg gov scholership or something i'd call u selfish... for those who studied overseas on JPA nad MARA expense and didn't comeback to serve i think them as highly ungrateful... to make them worse...they don't even bother to pay back...a waste of public money  if its on ur own expense than go ahead... |

QUOTE(Gorila_ @ Feb 1 2010, 06:59 PM) They can choose to buy off the bond, now its RM1mil-1.3mil. After that you are free as a bird. wow The reason why those who study abroad choose to stay put its because wether its M'sia or foreign land thay are treated the same, so why not stay in a country which pays more.  where to fork out dat kind of money??if u to work in m'sia its totally impossible...if da UK probably wont be any problem i guess... then again it comes back 2 ones concious... m'sia/foreign teated da same.... to serve da public or for da money... its all bout money these days....like it or not.... |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Feb 1 2010, 08:54 PM) the bond penalty used to be a disproportionately small amount.........about rm130k for those who got the scholarships in the early 2000's......... rm130 K is nothing to them if they work overseas...since the last 5 years, when they realised many people are breaking their bonds, the penalty is now based on the FULL amount jpa spends on you......... that includes 2 years pre-u studies, all tuition fees paid, all allowances given, all airfares, insurance premiums, visa fees etc spent.......... and that WILL come up to 1mil or more, depending on which uni you studied (eg melbourne fees aud54k X 6 years =rm1mil, edinburgh gbp30k X 5=rm850k in fees alone).......... they get higher pay and the advantage of high value in the currency... even rm 1.3 million isn't much for them i guess... imagine those working in UK/Ireland..the currency is like 7 times higher than us... |

time out a bit on the bond thing...
need help...  i've been presented a case..20yr old...female..m'sian chief complain is diarrhea for past 4-5 months loss 5 kg in dat period is currently been underweight... BP, respiratory rate, pulse rate and temperature are normal... all other system are also normal...except she has a distended abdominal...and there is stomatitis and glossitis when upon done oral checking... blood test saw dat her MCV is high hb count low...the serum ferritin and b12 level is normal...just the folate level is low her stool has an increased amount of fat and bulky but not watery...prior to diz she has experienced diarrhea before..dat is about a year ago..but it stop a few days after without any treatment...... after discussion we all agreed that she has tropical sprue.... but I think there is a possibility also that she has bacterial overgrowth...she's exhibiting the same symptoms... is there any way to distinct between those two....?? |

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Feb 2 2010, 07:38 PM) Tropical sprue is associated with bacterial overgrowth. I don't think the term "bacterial overgrowth" is a strong and valid independent diagnosis but I'm no gastro expert and I could be wrong. its juz a stimuli case given to us every 2 weeks.... If it's angmoh then celiac would be high on the list, but that doesn't mean that non caucasians won't get celiac. Check anti-TTG and endomysial Ab, if positive then scope + biopsy. Tropical sprue would have similar biopsy results as celiac without the autoantibodies. Also think about IBD eg Crohn's even though she doesn't seem to be febrile. If it's a real life case, keep us updated on the progress and the diagnosis  the lecturer's juz give us the history of the of patient... and we have to deduce wat is wrong..and present in on the following week...with the treatment me n my friend ruled out celiac because its autoimmune plus usually heridatory ... since the history of the patient stated that all other system were normal...so dat probably includes the Ag level... there were no vomitting or even nausea in her history.... thus safe for us to conclude tropical sprue then? though i still wonder the difference between bacterial overgrowth syndrome and tropical sprue itself.. according to the article in emedicine both r 2 different diognosis..... |
