I'm counting my days. I've already informed my specialist about my job interview. If thing goes well, I'll secure the job and then quit medicine. He asked me whether my decision is final and I said I'm not sure but deep in my heart I'm certain that I want to put an end to this never ending misery.
Seriously, even houseman are fed with misleading information. I always believed that I have to endure two years of housemanship before I had my full MMC registration. I was wrong. To get full MMC certification means I have to serve another two years in KKM. Meaning I have to serve 4 years; 2 years of housemanship and another extra two years as medical officer.
Recently I was informed of another news that MO have to tag at least 6 month in their respective department so they can be proficient in their discipline. That mean not seeing daylight for the next 6 month. You'll come at 7.00 am and go back at 10.00pm on paper. Remember, on paper. Usually one have to come earlier and go back later.
Being an MO, you'll have to follow old school working hours - passive and active call. Meaning you'll be spending 36 hours per call. Meaning less time to spend at home. Great for singles but not for married man like me. I have to fix my rooftop, change my light bulb and redo the piping and I already find it hard to get it done in my housemanship. I wonder how my life is if I ever become MO
Sometimes, the grass truly are green on the other side. You only need to take bold step across the line.
What am I going to do next after I started to work in my new job?
My new job - executive marketing manager for transaction banking division offer 2.5k - 3.0k. It's pretty low compared to what I earn now, circa RM4.4k. Then again, I have not committed myself onto any kind of loan so far. So I have decided that I'll work as executive for the next three years and further my studies on Master of Finance. I'll climb the ladder up and become one of the top manager in my division. This is my resolve.
RD minus 4 days: Moving on and moving forward
Wish me luck my friend for my new adventure
Good luck then =)

ReplyDeleteSalam and hi to all. I just started a group in Facebook for all medical graduates in Malaysia who decided not to practice medicine anymore regardless of reason. I'm planning to form an association that acts as a support group for those who are planning to or had already quit medicine in the future. Come and join us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/quitmedicine/
