yea...housemen no training at all...

russia medical schools are good. but the thing is, medical students are separated into 2 groups. one is their own students, where the syallabus are taught in russian, and the other are 'others', or maybe whole class also malaysians.

like it or not..there will definitely be biased in the teachings...

as someone mentioned earlier.. the medicals itself is good..if not why the government will send our students there and JPA approves their course..

just that they might be practicing double standard..when officials come to visit..they will do everything nicely..u know what i mean...

but then again malaysians or foreigners won know whether the quality is good or not because they only compare with other malaysians or foreigners. unless some people will ask their russian counterparts on how different or same is their course conducted.

trust me. i've been to hospital attachments before. the standard of a russian graduate compared to local private candidate is so much different.

of course u may say i am biased because there are still good students coming back from russia.

but in the eyes of doctors, generally those from russia, not good.

my 2 cents.=)

then again...even more proving its not good..

but does it means that cheap unis is not good? i will leave that question for you to ponder.

by saying government sending them there does not imply they are good..just recognised by jpa...

if u noticed those who got sent to russia are those whose results are not so good in the first place, appealed through various organisations and finally the government agreed to send them there. indonesia is another place too. why?u mentioned it. both are cheap..

haha.oh well...maybe my expression through typing still needs more improvement..

nope....decided not to after seeing the current conditions in the general hospitals...

ermmmm...for one..overcrowding...now u see one department or one big ward got about 30 housemen...and the ward is divided into few cubicles...each cubicle got about 3-4 housmen handling those patients but still they can kelam kabut one...

20 years ago..during my uncle's time who is now a surgeon...he is the only housemen in the whole ward...everything big and small he is also involved..

at his time he already handled appendicitis and some other minor operations..now those housemen go in OT just stand beside and look only..


so u can imagine the kind of training doctors receive nowadays and 20 years ago...it doesn't matter whether how hardworking are you..there is just not much chance to get proper training..medicine is not just textbooks and theories..you need to get your hands on the patient...and every single patient is different and unique....


but then some will not mind..more people=less work..and the government is making it worse by flooding the whole system by producing even more doctors...

my 2 cents.

errr...that guy/girl asked what i thought about the public hospitals..not why i didn't take medicine..but yea..that's one of my concerns....

haha..thanks for ur admiration..can always go buy one ma..those entry levels one quite cheap....

haha.actually have a few MAIN concerns actually...but if you ask is that concern(overcrowded) my number one concern? i would say no.

erm..pharmacy in monash...

not 37 medical schools mer?got few more public u din add...sigh...yet my people still wants to take up medicine...

they should freeze pharmacy schools too..quite a lot mushrooming around....

you are generalizing. there are still a lot more who can't afford to migrate to other countries. and it doesn't always mean that the grass is greener over the other pasture. yes they can earn a lot, but did you add the high income tax, and high cost of living too? over there no hawker centre selling mixed rice for rm4 or roti canai at rm1.

the other difference is that this kind of jobs is also recession proof..and there are already doctors who see nothing but money. cheers.

IPTA got scholarships one a? i thought its already sooooooooooo cheap. o.O

singapore want them they sure run fast fast lor...nothing wrong also...at least..I THINK..the conditions over there better than our GH..and of course the super high pay...who would think twice? these are the people that get the most benefits as they really earn every cent and no PTPTN loan to pay off..

really???wow..since when JPA so kind..those doing medicine IMO should really take it as you will be at gov hospital for no less than 15 years..unless you are satisfied at MO level and want to drop out..

you want to compare uk quality and czech quality? gosh..

the staff nt working here i guess.=/

sad news.sigh.
