HO tips

[Housemanship tips & tricks sharing from team DIAgnosis]
1. Masa HO, kita akan guna sistem flexi hours. Not really sure about the timing. But CONTOH la if shift kita from 7am to 7pm. Dont come at 7am. Come earlier to revise all ur patients. Cause ur MO and specialist will come at 8am. U must finish revising ALL ur pt by the time they come. So no way u can finish all ur pt in 1 hour. So, come at 6am. Or if u think ure bit slow, come at 5am.
2. If u divide patients in the ward with ur colleague utk mudahkan & percepatkan masa utk revise pt, still you MUST know well all the patients in the ward. Cause doc tak suka bila doc dtg round, and konon the student in charge of that pt is not there, and other colleague said 'sorry doc, i dont know about this pt cs this is not my patient', ini yg doc pantang dengar. I repeat, doc PANTANG dengar. Sebab you as a doctor MUST know all ur patients. Divide2 pt is just between u and ur colleague, not with the MOs and specialist.
3. Masa HO nanti, bawak biskut or pisang ke letak dalam whitecoat. Doc tak suka dengar kita busy sangat sampai tak cari masa langsung utk makan. At least kalau busy sangat, ade backup biskut dlm poket utk terus grab and eat. Its important for us to keep energetic to save lives.
4. Masa HO nanti, akan jumpa ramai je yg jenis kiss-ass. So cmne dgn orang mcm ni? Look not fair la kan. Sebab dia 'kisser', so senang je lepas. Utk orang cmni, dont worry. Sebab masa HO nanti, bukan specialist and MO je akan evaluate kita. Tapi MA, nurses and colleague pun akan evaluate kita sekali. Ade je nanti jmpe kawan sesama kawan memburukkan masing2 dlm evaluation form haha😂 So, be tough💪🏼
5. Buat baik dengan semua orang. Dari setinggi tinggi specialist sampai la dgn MOs, MA, nurses, staff hosp, patient and semua lah. Esp be good to ur colleague sbb to survive HO, u need ur colleague to cover you bila waktu memerlukan.
6. Jangan terkejut if tetibe nnti you or others kena extend without any reasons. Like the doc will said, 'umm act i dont have reasons to extend you, its just because i dont like you'. If kena mcm ni, seriously, tajdid niat balik. Just continue to serve people, be good, and pray alot. Because hidup ni tak selamanya indah.
7. To girls yang dah ada calon after graduate, dinasihatkan kahwin bfre start HO. Because you need a very strong support system. Besides family, lumrah wanita dia nak loved ones jugak utk berkongsi masalah. Yang takde calon, sokay. We're strong enough sbb tu takde calon lg. We gonna survive that too 😉
8. Masa HO nanti, poket u akan jadi poket Doraemon. Put all important stuffs dalam tu. Forms, pen, ref book, oximeter, biscuit, stet, and the list continues..
9. Its okay if masa awal masuk HO u tak reti lgsg any clinical skills. But doc expect u will master it within 2 weeks. So be fast and be proactive!
10. With less knowledge, u might be extended up to 2-3 months. But, with no attitude, you might be extended like forever. Less knowledge, you can still learning with a bit struggle. But without attitude, you will learn nothing. You still gonna survive HO with less knowledge, but not with bad attitude.
11. Example attitude problems; malas, rajin bertugas tapi malas nak isi logbook, datang lambat, kerek dengan nurse & MA, selfish(tak share apa dia tau, dont care pasal colleague lain, asal dia survive sorang).
12. Masa HO, dinasihatkan pilih tempat dekat dengan family sebab masa HO la masa yg perlukan support dari family. Katakan kita terlalu busy tak dapat balik rumah, at least mudah family datang utk tengok kita.
13. Apa jua shit yang melanda selama HO, be strong, and tajdid niat selalu. Its NOT gonna be easy, but its gonna be worth it! Pujuk diri, 'its just for freaking 2 years of hell, then its all done'.
** Additional notes to all medical students : Tak digalakkan baca oxford handbooks semata. Bullet points hanya berguna ketika bekerja di hosp. As medical students, all out belajar pakai the real text books. Lagi tebal, lagi bagus. Hadam semua facts. From there, u will get the real knowledge, and u will understand better. When you understand, then its easy for u to memorize.
