    Lazy Days As A Medical Officer

    Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

    While I’m at work, I’d be looking forward to returning home or towards my off day. In contrary, while I’m at home or on my off day, I’d be thinking about returning to work.

    Do you feel the same way?

    Previously, as a House Officer, I’m used to the “one off day per week”. Whereas, as a Medical Officer, weekends and public holidays are granted off days, except if you’re well… oncall and that depends on your current department as well as some departments require you to put in a half day shift during weekends or public holidays.

    I’d say for me, considering I live alone and I don’t even own a car here in Sarawak, I’m pretty much lazy and unproductive to the point I get restless sometimes.

    That’s counter productive as rest days are meant to make you feel… rested, right?

    Thus, on my off days, since I’m an early riser, I try not to disturb my circadian rhythm by getting up at the same time as usual every morning, partly because I forgot to off the alarm or somehow, my body clock just wakes me up every time.

    To feel so-called “productive”, I’d do some studying with my morning coffee till I well, lose my focus, then I start wondering about lunch and start cooking, handwash my clothes because I’m too lazy to walk downstairs with a bag of clothes and finally doze off for my afternoon nap.

    I’d then wake up in the evening to have dinner and pack my essentials and bag for work the following day before finally, retiring to bed early.

    I really need to be more productive during my off days.

    Even me writing this just sounds too depressing.

    My First Day Of Locum And As A Medical Officer

    Related Posts:

    A locum or locum tenens, is a person who temporarily fulfils the duties of another; the term is especially used for physicians or clergy.

    – Wikipedia.

    The first time I ever tasted or ventured into locum or a so-called “part-time doctor” was on the 3rd of August 2025.

    At that time, I was back in my hometown and on a 3-weeks-break post housemanship / internship at a small private clinic, yet to officially begin as a Medical Officer.

    While I was in medical school, I would occasionally hear this term “locum” from my fellow seniors or batch mates, lecturers, parents or even friends of my parents. However, in order to locum, one would need to be fully registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and possess a valid Annual Practicing Certificate (APC). In short, I had to graduate medical school, finish my internship or housemanship first, then only am I able to dive into this.

    Thus, upon acquiring my full MMC and APC licence, I was looking forward to locum. Looking forward to it as well as nervous to dive into this. Thankfully, I had just completed my final rotation in the Emergency and Trauma Department.

    In the Emergency and Trauma Department, there are various zones in which the patients would be triaged into in terms of presenting complaints, severity and their vital signs. The least critical in severity would be triaged into Green zone. The Green zone is similar to a clinic setting, thus, it gave me some idea on the type of cases I would be expecting.

    My first locum was just 3 hours long, from 7pm till 10pm. I figured that since I am just starting at that time, it would be better to start with minimal hours in order to get used to it and also.. if I would enjoy it.

    The clinic was quaint and small but equipped with basic necessities and a scan machine. The only thing that it did not have, was an x-ray facility. The moment I sat down, the patients kept coming back-to-back. As soon as I was done with one, another came.

    For a first-timer, I felt it was equivalent to the Green Zone in General Hospital whereby the cases were always there but the patient load was manageable.

    However, I was extremely scared.

    Mainly afraid that I might accidentally jeopardise the patient’s safety in terms of mismanagement. Thankfully, by 9:30 pm, the clinic assistant stopped accepting new patients and prepared to close the clinic.

    For a first experience, it was a good one despite it being rather terrifying for me.

    But, we all have to start somewhere and build our confidence, don’t we?

    Daily writing prompt Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? View all responses

    They aren’t even trying anymore.

    You want my answer to today’s question? Read yesterday’s answer. Same thing. Two days in a row of pandering to the religious right by asking a question that will fish for the bible as a response. Yippee.

    Alas, Babylon
    Hot Rod
    1984
    Brave New World

    See a trend? I do too. Both in my answer and in the question. I wonder how they will fish for the bible tomorrow. Someone at Jetpack or WordPress.com must be trying to rig a bet or something.
