so now seems to be the time where house officers in malaysia are complaining and writing in their whining and whinging to the media. absolutely repulsive. to tell you the truth, why make your job a big deal? is it really that great? well, it is great if you make people better and keep quiet about it. but once you start complaining how tired you are because your job is demanding, then i don't see how noble your job seems to be anymore. by right, doctors help to make people feel better. but we should never expect something out of it. if people appreciate what we do, well and good. but if they don't, so be it.
frankly, house officers who whine and complain too much are those who get a tougher training compared to their peers. but why does that happen? blame it on themselves. one will not get scolded if one is really good at his/her work. if you keep making mistakes, you will surely keep being scolded. eventually, you will break and you will blame other people for your own weakness.
so to me, those who complain are the very ones who deserve to be scolded because they are not good at what they do. they need the scoldings because they keep making the same mistakes. i don't remember being humiliated or scolded till i feel like crumbling, coz i know i was good at what i did and i will continue to try to be great at it. medicine is a field that plays with people's lives and emotions. one single mistake and people can die. it is not something that we can make do with mediocrity. that explains the tough training.
stop complaining. start to be better. if you still get scolded, you are not cut out for this profession.
