    12 Hours Shift – Counting Down My Hours Each Time At Work

    Related Posts:

    How do you waste the most time every day?

    At the time of writing this article, which was back in June 2025, I was going through my 6th Rotation of my Housemanship which is in the Department of Emergency and Trauma. As a House Officer in the Emergency Department, we go by the 12-hours shift.

    This meant, our shift is from:

    • AM Shift: 7am till 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am till 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm till 10am

    In this department, they are strict in regards to adhering to a minimum of 60 hours per week in total. Thus, in a week, our schedule is as follows;

    • A total of at least 4 daytime shifts (AM or PM Shifts)
    • One night shift
    • One off day

    That is provided one has off-tagged of course.

    Perhaps, it is the “last paper syndrome” that I was experiencing being in the 6th and final rotation, I would be counting down my hours each day at work. Thus, upon arrival at work, I would start my “12-hours countdown“ on my phone.

    On slow days, I made it a point to go to toilet every hour, technically my so-called “hourly break” whereas on busy days, the toilet break is the only time I could take a break. This is followed by ensuring I have at least one meal per day during my shift.

    Otherwise, the schedule in the emergency department is relatively better as compared to my previous rotations. Nevertheless, the tiredness is still there.

    Tagline: “Hourly Toilet Break”

    Click here for more articles & daily dose.

    If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

    Those who have worked with me know that I have such thing called “The Hourly Toilet Break”.

    Firstly, because I consume lots of fluids and secondly, that is how I ensure I do get the break once in a while on a busy day or maybe, the day is quite slow and I am just, bored.

    Of course when the day is rather busy and hectic, time just flies and that I do not even realise the time passing by. By the time I actually do complete my task and take the opportunity to just rest for a while, 2-3 hours have gone by.

    How Did The Hourly Toilet Break Started?

    I didn’t actually planned for such thing at work. Obviously.

    At home, I do frequently go for my toilet breaks as I’m forever consuming green teas or black coffees or water. All of which contributes to the filling of my bladder, in addition to the fluids being diuretics.

    It wasn’t until I started my tagging in my sixth rotation, the Emergency & Trauma Department that I reinforced this so-called “hourly toilet break”.

    The tagging hours in the Emergency & Trauma Department is long, just as in other postings whereby we had to work from 7am til 10pm everyday with an off day each week for 10 days straight.

    Thus, it helped me in ensuring that I either get to sit and recollect myself during hectic days or to make the hours pass during slow days.

    Life After Offtag In Emergency & Trauma | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    The tagging hours in the Department of Emergency & Trauma is from 7am till 10pm, for a total of 10 days and one off day per week. There are no assessments required to off-tag, only hours required to cash in.

    During our tagging season, we were not allocated for night shifts as well.

    For me, tagging in this posting felt like an eternity. I remembered counting down my days before I would finally “offtag” and be switched to regular working hours. I also remembered being extremely exhausted at the end of my shift, wondering how did my fellow colleagues managed to pull through.

    Tagging in this posting as compared to the other postings was considered less stressful as we were not required to arrive early for morning rounds. We merely had to arrive on time and upon the end of our shift, we leave, as compared to other postings where we would stay back almost every time, cash in “unpaid overtimes.”

    Finally after 10 days of tagging, I officially “off-tagged“.

    So how was life after that?

    Much better. Thankfully.

    Regular hours in the Emergency & Trauma Department meant working a 12-hours shift per day with an off day per week and a single night shift.

    Basically, we had to ensure that in total, we had to meet the total 60-hours shift per week.

    Thus are the timings for our respective shifts:

    • AM Shift: 7am – 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am – 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm – 10am

    If you have read my articles on “The Joy Of Working The Night Shift As A House Officer” as well as “My Favourite Time Of The Day At Work“, I mentioned that I absolutely love the night shift. The disadvantage of working the night shift is that we are usually alone and the night shift can be rather unpredictable.

    However, it is not the same for me in this posting. Out of the shifts listed above, my favourite is the AM shift, 7am till 7pm. Initially, getting up for work at 7am is tough especially after working the PM shifts back-to-back. But after the initial morning sleepiness wears off, the day proceeds as usual and we return home at 7pm which is nice.

    Life after offtag in this department ensured that I had adequate rest prior to my shift starting. No doubt, it is a 12-hours shift every time, we usually arrive and leave work on time as compared to other postings.

    Nonetheless, I was still exhausted after every shift. Perhaps it was due to the accumulated mental and physical stress throughout the previous five postings that when I am finally blessed with extra rest, I am still tired.

    If you are still in the tagging phase, be it in this department or others, please stay strong. Remember that it doesn’t last forever, it is merely over a certain span of days or weeks.

    Keep showing up, keep doing the good work to the best of your strength and abilities and keep moving forward.

    Day 1 Of My Final Posting – Day 647 Of Housemanship

    Related Posts:

    My first day of my final posting, The Emergency & Trauma Department, commenced on the 11th of April 2025.

    Day 647, finally. Finally! I’ve pulled through and entered the last pit stop of my journey as a House Officer.

    In every posting, I have always looked forward to this posting. Prior to joining, I’ve always had mixed feelings and initially wanted to join Anaesthesiology. However, a few weeks prior to entering, the other postings such as Psychiatry, Klinik Kesihatan and Anaesthesiology were removed from our options and everyone had to rotate in the Emergency and Trauma Department.

    This is good. This meant more manpower.

    However, just as the previous postings, prior to joining any new department, I’ve always had this fear and mixed feelings because it is after a new environment.

    My fear was stumbling too badly on my first day. Thus, of course, I did my research and questioned the people I knew who were already in the posting.

    My First Day began on a Friday in the “Yellow Respi Zone“.

    The Yellow Respi Zone consists of patients who are unable to saturate well under room air, usually less than 90%. Having just completed the Medical Posting, the patients allocated there are primarily Medical patients or in particular, having respiratory issues such as patients developing acute pulmonary oedema or fluid overload secondary to non-compliance to their fluid restriction.

    Thankfully, I have just completed Medical. Thus, I am able to apply my knowledge learnt which was still fresh at that time.

    I arrived a little before 7am since the tagging shift is from 7am till 10pm, introduced myself to the medical officers and talked to a fellow friend who arrived and would be working in the same zone as well. I went through the triages and casenotes of the patients to see if there were any active cases or cases that were due tracing of bloods or referrals.

    The day started off rather quietly and it was manageable. I followed the morning handover rounds at 7:45am and after that attended to any new patients or refer if needed.

    Basically, when a patient comes in, especially to this zone where the patients’ chief complaint is “shortness of breath“, the first person who attends would usually auscultate or “listen” to the lungs and check the vital sigs prior to taking blood or doing a “full clerking” such as obtaining their past medical history or history of presenting illness.

    The next person that steps in usually helps with the bloods and fills the forms.

    Everyone worked together as a team and somehow indirectly we were communicating with one another without actually voicing it out. It seemed almost like a dance, or a workout.

    Afternoon came and afternoon handovers started at 2:45pm. I met a lovely medical officer who is a junior herself but one who was extremely upbeat and more than happy to guide me.

    I learnt a lot during my first day with her. She even encouraged me to consider joining this department during my floating period.

    The evenings became extremely busy to which I did not really realise. Maybe because it was my first day or maybe because I have just completed my Medical Posting (and it was much busier over there), or perhaps because I simply enjoyed working with my superior or team on that day.

    The day ended at 10pm and I walked back home. Thankfully, I lived within walking distance thus I saved time and did not have to worry regarding transportation or parking issues.

    My first day in my last posting or rotation started off well which is something I’m more than thankful for.

    My fear was stumbling too badly on my first day. Thus, of course, I did my research and questioned the people I knew who were already in the posting.

    My First Day began on a Friday in the “Yellow Respi Zone“.

    The Yellow Respi Zone consists of patients who are unable to saturate well under room air, usually less than 90%. Having just completed the Medical Posting, the patients allocated there are primarily Medical patients or in particular, having respiratory issues such as patients developing acute pulmonary oedema or fluid overload secondary to non-compliance to their fluid restriction.

    Thankfully, I have just completed Medical. Thus, I am able to apply my knowledge learnt which was still fresh at that time.

    I arrived a little before 7am since the tagging shift is from 7am till 10pm, introduced myself to the medical officers and talked to a fellow friend who arrived and would be working in the same zone as well. I went through the triages and casenotes of the patients to see if there were any active cases or cases that were due tracing of bloods or referrals.

    The day started off rather quietly and it was manageable. I followed the morning handover rounds at 7:45am and after that attended to any new patients or refer if needed.

    Basically, when a patient comes in, especially to this zone where the patients’ chief complaint is “shortness of breath“, the first person who attends would usually auscultate or “listen” to the lungs and check the vital sigs prior to taking blood or doing a “full clerking” such as obtaining their past medical history or history of presenting illness.

    The next person that steps in usually helps with the bloods and fills the forms.

    Everyone worked together as a team and somehow indirectly we were communicating with one another without actually voicing it out. It seemed almost like a dance, or a workout.

    Afternoon came and afternoon handovers started at 2:45pm. I met a lovely medical officer who is a junior herself but one who was extremely upbeat and more than happy to guide me.

    I learnt a lot during my first day with her. She even encouraged me to consider joining this department during my floating period.

    The evenings became extremely busy to which I did not really realise. Maybe because it was my first day or maybe because I have just completed my Medical Posting (and it was much busier over there), or perhaps because I simply enjoyed working with my superior or team on that day.

    The day ended at 10pm and I walked back home. Thankfully, I lived within walking distance thus I saved time and did not have to worry regarding transportation or parking issues.

    My first day in my last posting or rotation started off well which is something I’m more than thankful for.

    Jobs That I’ve Had

    What jobs have you had?

    Teacher

    Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko on Pexels.com

    My first job that I’ve ever had was as a Teacher.

    I had just completed my STPM which is a form of pre-university course in Malaysia, equivalent to that of the UK A-Levels and I was waiting for my results.

    At that time, I was on a holiday with my parents and was perusing through Facebook when I came across an advertisement on a job offer at a nearby language centre, looking for an English Language teacher.

    Without any expectations, I applied for it. At least, I’d have some exposure and regularity prior to entering Medical School in September that year.

    Shortly after I returned home, I received a call and an email responding to my application. I went for the interview session and was soon called back and offered a job to which I accepted.

    Barista

    My second job, I was a barista at a coffee shop as well as worked at the cash register of a store, both at the same time during my first and second year of medical school after which I stopped and subsequently used to work as a waitress for an F&B company. That was my third job. My second and third jobs were jobs mainly to earn extra cash after classes amidst my free time.

    Looking back, I probably should’ve just focused on my writing.

    Junior Doctor

    My fourth and current job is working as a junior doctor at Sarawak General Hospital. I still am one since I started practicing in 2023 and is currently going through my sixth and final rotation (at the time of writing this article) before finally receiving my full APC or license to practice independently both in government or private sector.

    Am I ready for it? Certainly not.

    However, somehow I haven’t quit and I kept pushing through. I don’t know how or why and before I knew it, 2 years has flown by.

    My First Night Shift Covering Medical 4 / Medical 5 / Infectious Disease Ward In Sarawak General Hospital – Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    Around my third month in the Department of Medical at Sarawak General Hospital, I was reallocated to Medical 4 which is the “Nephrology Ward” meaning patients who are admitted with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease or have underlying kidney pathology requiring biopsy or haemodialysis (HD support) but clinically stable as in not requiring oxygen support, not in sepsis or not requiring medications for blood pressure support are admitted here.

    I will explain more about that ward in another article.

    Anyway, back to the reason for this article, being allocated in this ward meant that I had to cover not just this ward, Medical 4 but also Medical 5 as well as the Infectious Disease Ward during my night shift.

    In the Department of Medical, the night shift is from 8pm till 10am the following day.

    While I was allocated here, I was blessed enough to have a few taggers in the ward and tagging is from 7am till 10pm.

    Thus, upon heading down at 8pm, there are usually a few people in Medical 4 till 10pm. Thus, upon entering my shift, I would first head over to Level 9 to place my bags, pop into Medical 4, for a while and then head over to Medical 5 to take the coming morning bloods.

    Upon completion, I would then head over to Medical 4 and begin my coming mornings there. Usually while I’m taking my coming mornings, new patients will come in and thus I would transfer in at the same time.

    Upon completion of my coming mornings in Medical 4, I would usually send my bloods at around 2am and then head over to the Infectious Disease Ward to take the coming mornings.

    In between I would be free but sometimes I would receive call for new transfer ins at Medical 4 and Medical 5.

    At 5-6am, I start running the blood gases. Usually when I take the coming mornings bloods, I would take the blood gases as well and keep it in a separate syringe in the cooler.

    Surviving the night shift initially was intimidating as I have yet to experience it and Medical 4 and Medical 5 were located far apart from each other.

    My main concern was if something were to occur at both wards at the same time.

    Thankfully, my experiences were mostly good and I enjoyed every night shift I’ve experienced thus far in this ward.

    My Next 6 Months (Post Housemanship)

    What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

    Related Posts:

    At the time of writing this article, it is the 8th of April 2025, Day 644 of my Housemanship Journey. I have just completed my Fifth Posting in Medical and is currently on leave as well as due to begin my 6th and Final Posting in Emergency Medicine on the 11th of April 2025.

    One posting or rotation lasts for a total of 4 months if there is no extension, for House Officers.

    Thus, it’s safe to say that for the upcoming 4 months, my focus would be on leaving and enjoying my final posting and the challenges I would most probably face then would be the completion of my logbook, preparing my presentation for CME and preparing for my end of posting assessments.

    But how about for the subsequent 2 months after that?

    That’s a grey area for me.

    First of all, I do not know myself on the department that I would want to serve in as a Medical Officer as I enjoyed every posting that I have ever rotated in.

    Next, the state or hospital that I would be interested in practicing in for at least the next few years. Currently, I am practicing in Hospital Umum Sarawak, otherwise known as Sarawak General Hospital or “SGH”, in Kuching, Sarawak.

    Personally, I would like to stay back over here and serve here rather than to go back as I absolutely love it here and feel like this is where I am meant to be.

    However, things might change in the future considering that I would want to get married and my partner is living in Peninsular Malaysia. That’s one as well as the consideration of my parents, having grown up as an only child.

    Thus, a grey area for me, nevertheless. Me, being comfortable with procrastination has pushed this thought to the back of my head and refused to entertain since I have to submit my full MMC application by the 13th of April 2025.

    This means, I have to set my mind on a department as well as my choice of state (location) or hospitals of choice.

    Oh dear…

    Working on New Year’s Day (2025)

    Related Posts:

    This will be the second year in a row that I’ve chosen to work on New Year’s Day. If you’ve read my previous similar article last year, I’ve mentioned how my father has this tradition of working on New Year’s Day every year, ever since he started working at the age of 18. It is something that I’ve adapted as well.

    This year, I began my year in the Department of Medical which is my Fifth Posting in my Housemanship Journey. I entered this department on the 11th of December last year.

    Having just off-tagged the week before, I was still allocated in my first pool which is the Perimedical Pool.

    Looking back as it is currently April 2025, at the time of writing this article, I do not quite remember where I was allocated to. I think that I was most probably taking care of the stranded Medical patients in the main building.

    Thankfully, I remembered it not being a hectic day and I was allocated the “short day” shift, meaning that I had the opportunity to return home at 6pm.

    Considering it was New Year’s Day which is a Public Holiday here, things were rather slow and tuned down.

    Thus, it was a rather slowed down and uneventful day, ending with me returning home on time and unwinding early.

    My Morning Routine Being A House Officer Leader In The Surgical Posting | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    There are three main leaders in the Surgical Posting. One is in charge of curating the weekly schedule, the other, in charge of ward and cubicle / bed allocations as well as to reallocate if there are any people who took emergency leaves or medical leaves and the third one, in charge of our attendance at work.

    I was the daily allocator. Being the “allocator”, I would be in charge of designating the house officers to the selected cubicles of both the male and female surgical wards (MSW and FSW), the Peri, EMOT and ETD as well as to look for substitutes if there are any last minute changes or leaves.

    Usually, I will prep my allocation in advance after the schedule leader has done the schedule and make necessary changes along the way. The leader in charge of the schedule usually determines which person works the night shift and when as well as to approve any leaves. Usually, the house officers will be divided into their respective wards.

    The night before, I usually run through the suggested allocation in the “Leaders Group” with the medical officers in charge of the House Officers to screen through.

    After receiving the green light from them or making necessary adjustments, I would then upload the list in the House Officer’s group. Thus, they would then know where they would be covering.

    The list is usually sent in the “MOHO” group, meaning the group containing the House Officers and Medical Officers at 6:30 a.m.

    Thus, I would wake up and be on standby at 5am everyday, even on my off days as I would wait for any messages should anybody take medical leaves or emergency leaves and make the necessary adjustments needed.

    At 6:30 a.m sharp, I forward the daily allocation into the “MOHO” group.

    If I happened to be working on that day, I would pause in between work just to send and then go about my work.

    However, if I happened to be on leave or having my off days, I would then return to sleep or go about my other activities after 6:30 a.m.

    It was an interesting experience having had the privilege to hold the position as one of the posting leaders.

    The House Officer’s Dilemma | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    While growing up, when I was asked regarding what I looked forward towards in the future, I always had the answer.

    Photo by Derek Finch on Pexels.com

    The answer was simply, I wanted to be a Doctor (coz that’s what I knew my whole life and indirectly working towards albeit having other interests).

    Thus, from primary school, next would be high school, moving towards science stream in school and pre-university in a course which would serves as a prerequisite into entering medical school. 

    Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com

    In medical school, my focus was always on the exams, completing that particular posting, completing that year, completing preclinicals and moving onto clinicals, studying for the grand finals, completing medical school and graduating.

    Upon graduation, applying for housemanship to start practicing. I always knew that I wanted to practice in Sarawak General Hospital. Thus, that didn’t require much thinking. Working my way there, and finally, starting housemanship.

    Now that I’m a House Officer, completing each posting, working towards completing a year, now focusing on completing the whole journey.

    But after that? I feel lost and aimless.

    Previously, when asked regarding my need to have a family, I would brush it off. Not that I didn’t want to but I’ve yet to meet the person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with and build a family.

    My aim was mainly catered towards my parents. But they’re doing just fine on their own. Thank God for that. I don’t see my purpose anymore actually.

    In regard to post-housemanship, I have no idea of which speciality I would like to dive into. In terms of being surgical based or medical based, the thing I learnt over this past 1 year is that I’m definitely a surgical based person. Though, I have enjoyed paediatrics very much (which I supposed is a very much toned down version of the chaotic medical posting).

    I wouldn’t know, as upon writing this article, I’ve yet to complete my medical posting.

    The medical field is not just tied to 6 different postings. As a House Officer in Malaysia, we are required to rotate to 6 different postings throughout our 2-year-duration in housemanship which are, Surgery, Medical, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics. The sixth posting, we have the privilege to choose among Emergency Department (ETD / ED), Anaesthesia, Klinik Kesihatan (Community Clinics) and Psychiatry.

    However, in reality, the clinical field is vast and there are other specialities that we as House Officers have yet to enter. In terms of non-clinical field, it is another vast category.

    Which of it am I?

    At times I wished that I always knew of what I wanted to be, such as a Cardiologist or a Surgeon but after assisting in the operating theatres and working as a junior doctor, none of it appeals to me 100%. Sure it is interesting but is it something I would want to be doing for the rest of my life?

    Having completed a year of housemanship, I thought that the answer would be clear to me by now. Yet, I’m still as unsure as I had been before. I’ve approached multiple seniors, medical officers and specialists and talked to various doctors from different fields regarding their experience. I seem to have the information but my heart was not fully captured by any of it. 

    Everything seems nice and interesting. I hope that in time to come, the answer would be clearer. The least I could do at the moment is to put my best foot forward in whatever department or sector that I go through.

    The House Officer’s Dilemma | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    While growing up, when I was asked regarding what I looked forward towards in the future, I always had the answer.

    Photo by Derek Finch on Pexels.com

    The answer was simply, I wanted to be a Doctor (coz that’s what I knew my whole life and indirectly working towards albeit having other interests).

    Thus, from primary school, next would be high school, moving towards science stream in school and pre-university in a course which would serves as a prerequisite into entering medical school.

    In medical school, my focus was always on the exams, completing that particular posting, completing that year, completing preclinicals and moving onto clinicals, studying for the grand finals, completing medical school and graduating.

    Upon graduation, applying for housemanship to start practicing. I always knew that I wanted to practice in Sarawak General Hospital. Thus, that didn’t require much thinking. Working my way there, and finally, starting housemanship.

    Now that I’m a House Officer, completing each posting, working towards completing a year, now focusing on completing the whole journey.

    But after that? I feel lost and aimless.

    Previously, when asked regarding my need to have a family, I would brush it off. Not that I didn’t want to but I’ve yet to meet the person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with and build a family.

    My aim was mainly catered towards my parents. But they’re doing just fine on their own. Thank God for that. I don’t see my purpose anymore actually.

    In regard to post-housemanship, I have no idea of which speciality I would like to dive into. In terms of being surgical based or medical based, the thing I learnt over this past 1 year is that I’m definitely a surgical based person. Though, I have enjoyed paediatrics very much (which I supposed is a very much toned down version of the chaotic medical posting).

    My Top 5 Grocery Store Items

    Click here for more articles & daily dose.

    Daily writing prompt List your top 5 grocery store items. View all responses

    Working as a House Officer, I do not go out to eat much. Mainly because our days are mainly occupied with work and after work, we would be drained. Well, most of the time.

    Thus, if I were to really go out, it would be during my long breaks which is when I apply for leaves.

    In terms of acquiring groceries, I rarely go to the grocery store myself as I do not have a car of my own in Sarawak. I am extremely dependent on Grab and overtime can be expensive as well.

    Hence, I make do with the convenience store downstairs at my apartment which doesn’t really have much in terms of fresh foods or ordering online.

    Here are my Top 5 must haves in my grocery list which is available in the convenience store if I were to just shop there.

    1. Coffee

    Photo by Enes Cou015fkun on Pexels.com

    As I mentioned in some of my previous articles before. It is a must have drug in my system. Personally I think I have grown rather immune to the effects of caffeine over the years from overconsumption. Thus, if I’m unable to get my grounded coffee beans, usually I’ll make do with some freeze dried coffee or a regular black coffee powder.

    2. Oats

    Photo by maria cerda on Pexels.com

    I replace rice for rolled oats when I’m living alone. Back at home, my mother would always cook rice as my parents love rice. However, I noticed that I easily crash or get sleepy easily after consuming rice. Thus, I substitute it for rolled oats and usually I would cook soups or curries and pour the oats over it and consume it just like regular rice.

    3. Eggs

    Photo by Daniel Reche on Pexels.com

    It is easily available. When there is nothing else stored in my pantry and everything else is closed, eggs go about well with almost everything. 

    4. Noodles

    Photo by Alena Shekhovtcova on Pexels.com

    Well, I’m not exactly healthy per se all the time, and I do enjoy my occasional instant noodles. Especially after work and not having a meal the whole day, I’ll just whip up a quick dish of curry instant noodles with eggs.

    5. Sausages

    Personally, I prefer chicken over sausages and as mentioned before, I rarely go out for my groceries. Hence, I’d go for sausage since it is easily available at the convenience store downstairs. In addition to that, I can be versatile with cooking them.

    Thus, if I had to list 5 of the hat, these are my top 5 that I would shop for in any grocery stores amidst working as a House Officer.

    Again, sadly, it lacks nutrition. But, oh well.

    Reflection of the Paediatrics Posting

    Related Posts:

    Paediatrics Posting. The posting of tiny human beings.

    Looking back, I feared entering into the Paediatrics posting. I think I say that for almost every posting.

    However, it was one that I fell in love with before I even off-tagged, as mentioned in one of my articles previously.

    The stress level was not as bad as it was in other postings mainly because we were dealing with children. Not to say that treating them is easier, in fact it isn’t as they tend to fight back, scream or cry a lot.

    I mean they’re just children.

    But perhaps when I do come to work, the smile on their cute faces were enough to alleviate some of the stress and checking them clinically involves a skill as they are easily triggered. 

    I would find myself playing with them or calming them down. Most of the time if I were to auscultate them, they would either start playing with it, swat it away or start crying.

    The Paediatrics posting is the place I started eating again amidst the stress. Irregardless of the amount of patients and work to do, there is always time for lunch or at least our superiors will make sure of that. 

    It was also the place where I enjoyed the long rounds in the morning and afternoon as well as I would present to specialists. 

    I made a good friend with a medical officer who I still keep contact with albeit having left the posting. I enjoyed the days where I would be allocated to work with him. 

    Having worked both in the general ward and nursery ward, the experiences were different but enjoyable nonetheless.

    If there is a posting I wouldn’t mind repeating, it is the Paediatric Posting and I hope you do or will or had enjoyed this posting just as much as I did.

    I would find myself playing with them or calming them down. Most of the time if I were to auscultate them, they would either start playing with it, swat it away or start crying.

    The Paediatrics posting is the place I started eating again amidst the stress. Irregardless of the amount of patients and work to do, there is always time for lunch or at least our superiors will make sure of that. 

    It was also the place where I enjoyed the long rounds in the morning and afternoon as well as I would present to specialists. 

    I made a good friend with a medical officer who I still keep contact with albeit having left the posting. I enjoyed the days where I would be allocated to work with him. 

    Having worked both in the general ward and nursery ward, the experiences were different but enjoyable nonetheless.

    If there is a posting I wouldn’t mind repeating, it is the Paediatric Posting and I hope you do or will or had enjoyed this posting just as much as I did.

    Surviving A Month Of Tagging In My Fourth Posting – Surgery | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    I tagged for almost a month here.

    The tagging timing in the Surgical Posting is from 7am till 10pm which is same as with other postings, except Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G).

    In the Surgical Posting, we all have to complete a compulsory 14-Day-Tagging period irregardless of having “off-tagged”. Entering the Surgical Department as a senior or fourth poster, we are allocated to special shifts such as night shifts in ward or night shifts in ethe emergency department (ETD).

    This serves as an advantage to us seniors as we do not have to work the morning shift for one week straight prior to having an off day. It is also better as it allows us to recuperate in between by not having to go to work extremely early.

    However, the disadvantage is that our tagging period is somewhat extended.

    As I mentioned before, we are required to complete a 14-Day-Tagging period. The night shift is not counted. Hence, the tagging duration can go up to 3 weeks.

    For me, it extended up to 4 weeks due to my medical leaves (MC).

    During my first week of tagging, I took a day of medical leave due to extreme fatigue and in the second week, I took 3 days of medical leaves due to extreme fatigue and COVID-19.

    At the time of writing this article, I am on a 6 weeks medical leave due to my ATFL injury.

    Sometimes I wonder, if I will ever exit this posting and proceed with my last which is medical.

    Back to the tagging part, thus my tagging period lasted for a month.

    Going to work as a tagger, I would leave home around 5:45am – 6am. Partly because I’m just tired and felt like I needed more rest because there will always be an active issue in ward and I am only able to return home at 10pm.

    In the evening around 7pm, I would go for dinner after handing over to the night colleagues and completing my tasks and on-call reviews for the day. Most of the time, it would be our first meal of the day.

    Some days, we would be done by 8-9pm and on some days, earlier. Most of us, upon completing, would head for dinner and head home or to just head home straightaway.

    This is wrong of course but we were simply exhausted and burnt-out during the tagging period. Thus, we grab the opportunity while we could.

    Towards the end of my tagging period, I started bringing packed dinner boxes and reheating them as work prior going back.

    Surviving the tagging period in the Surgical Posting was hard and tiring but eventually, it did came to an end.

    Thus, if you have yet to enter the Surgical Posting, the tagging period is indeed tiring as with any posting. However, try to learn as much as you can and take comfort in the fact that it does come to an end.

    Sometime ago, I wrote about “The Small Change I Hope My Blog Would Make“, whereby I mentioned that with every article written and uploaded on this website would spread some form of comfort and positivity, especially within the community of junior doctors.

    Perhaps I’m just simply being optimistic. I have to. That keeps me going, even on difficult days to the point it has become a default reflex for me.

    Nonetheless, I love to write and sometimes I do get lost that I tend to deviate from the topic at times and divert back to the main topic at hand.

    Living in this world which has its flaws and problems at every corner, I try to see the good aspect of things and thus, I try to end my articles on a good note or some encouragement, which is mainly directed at me actually. However, I never know who may be reading my written articles and perhaps just need some encouragement and kind words at the moment.

    It serves as a “happy ending” just like a fairytale in which I escape in one too many times.

    Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

    I am half-Filipino. My mother is from the Philippines and my father, a Malaysian, like me.

    Growing up, I was neither close to my mother’s or father’s side. However, between these two, I am somewhat culturally inclined towards my mother’s side through some of her simple heartwarming dishes that she cooked growing up as well as some of the Filipino songs she would play or the Tagalog words she would incorporate in her daily conversations.

    Two of the simple dish my mother would prepare would be pasta or bolognese spaghetti and Buko salad.

    1. Spaghetti

    Originally, spaghetti is a form of pasta and a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.

    However, it also serves as one of the staple Filipino dishes.

    My mother would usually make a batch of bolognese spaghetti occasionally and on New Year’s Eve, as that is what my maternal grandmother used to do while she was growing up.

    It is rather simple and easy as well and she would go crazy with the cheddar cheese topping. Over the years, as she started to dwell into vegetarianism and eventually become one for a lifetime, she created her own variation of a vegetarian version.

    2. Buko Salad

    Adapted from https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/buko-salad/

    “Buko” salad is a form of Filipino fruit salad.

    “Buko” refers to a young coconut fruit and “Buko” salad consists of the young coconut itself.

    It is a simple dish which has many variations.

    My mother would usually mix with nata de coco of various colours, avoiding the colourless ones, corn, a huge can of mix fruits and other canned fruits before finally mixing it with evaporated milk, cheddar cheese and “buko”.

    She will the separate it into containers and freeze it and have it on New Year’s Eve.

    Growing up, my family would be seated at the dining table with other dishes prepared on New Year’s Eve for us to dine in together at midnight and every year, these two dishes remains a staple.

    Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

    I am half-Filipino. My mother is from the Philippines and my father, a Malaysian, like me.

    Growing up, I was neither close to my mother’s or father’s side. However, between these two, I am somewhat culturally inclined towards my mother’s side through some of her simple heartwarming dishes that she cooked growing up as well as some of the Filipino songs she would play or the Tagalog words she would incorporate in her daily conversations.

    Two of the simple dish my mother would prepare would be pasta or bolognese spaghetti and Buko salad.

    1. Spaghetti

    Originally, spaghetti is a form of pasta and a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.

    However, it also serves as one of the staple Filipino dishes.

    My mother would usually make a batch of bolognese spaghetti occasionally and on New Year’s Eve, as that is what my maternal grandmother used to do while she was growing up.

    It is rather simple and easy as well and she would go crazy with the cheddar cheese topping. Over the years, as she started to dwell into vegetarianism and eventually become one for a lifetime, she created her own variation of a vegetarian version.

    2. Buko Salad

    Adapted from https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/buko-salad/

    “Buko” salad is a form of Filipino fruit salad.

    “Buko” refers to a young coconut fruit and “Buko” salad consists of the young coconut itself.

    It is a simple dish which has many variations.

    My mother would usually mix with nata de coco of various colours, avoiding the colourless ones, corn, a huge can of mix fruits and other canned fruits before finally mixing it with evaporated milk, cheddar cheese and “buko”.

    She will the separate it into containers and freeze it and have it on New Year’s Eve.

    Growing up, my family would be seated at the dining table with other dishes prepared on New Year’s Eve for us to dine in together at midnight and every year, these two dishes remains a staple.

    Daily writing prompt What would your life be like without music? View all responses

    Utterly boring.

    As far as I could recall, I have always associated studying with music.

    Perhaps it is because while growing up, my mom had always filled the house with music and made me sit at a corner to study whether I liked it or not, I had to study.

    Eventually, I’ve grown used to, to studying with music or reading with music.

    In high school, I discovered the kind of music that I like as well as the suitable time for me to study.

    Thus, music and studying goes hand-in-hand or I will not be able to focus.

    Eventually, I shift to Podcasts and Audiobooks while I am going about doing my chores or cooking, I am either listening to these or music.

    Even my daily morning writing has jazz or lo-fi playing in the background.

    There are days of course when I do not feel like listening to my music or is simply not in the mood for other musics.

    Thus, “lo-fi” or “jazz” are my go-to. Still musical nevertheless.

    Daily writing prompt What things give you energy? View all responses

    Working in the hospital, I wished that I had endless amount of energy. This is due to the never ending amount of patients as well as the lack of manpower.

    Despite having completed your side of work, you just wished that you could help out. However, once you are done for the day, the thought of even going out is too tiring, upon returning home.

    Thus, the evenings after work are usually spent recuperating and resting before going to bed to repeat the whole thing again the following day.

    These are what keeps me going throughout the day.

    1. Coffee

    I need to have my morning coffee. I just absolutely have to.

    My morning is not complete without my morning coffee as my body will feel sluggish and tired. I’m somewhat also more irritable and unable to think or move fast.

    Perhaps it is the caffeine addiction speaking.

    After I have had my black coffee to start the day and packed my necessary coffee flasks for work, it is then that I am ready to walk out the door and head to work.

    2. Chrysanthemum Tea

    I have built a liking towards cold chrysanthemum tea.

    Personally, I enjoy the sugarless chrysanthemum tea. However, the ones available at work are only those in the can and has sugar in it.

    Nevertheless, I still make do with it. Besides it is affordable too. Sipping that cold soothes my soul and reenergises me.

    3. Cold Green Tea

    In addition to cold chrysanthemum tea, I would usually prepare a jug of green tea and store it in the fridge.

    This is for me to enjoy upon returning home and also serves as a healthier alternative to chrysanthemum tea which is packed with sugar.

    Thus, the things that energises me are not food but simply drinks.

    “You Guys Are Angels”

    This may be a biased statement and it differs according to the individual’s experience. Thus, although I do know of the controversies I may ignite. I am merely saying this out of my own firsthand experiences and as mentioned before, each person’s experience differs greatly.

    MOs, short for Medical Officers.

    First of all, I don’t know how do you guys (medical officers) do it, pulling through an oncall shift, just to return for another oncall duty the following day after postcall. Perhaps it is because during my current batch, we have shifted fully to the “shift system”. Thus, we have yet to experience the “oncall” system which was experienced by the older house officer batches. 

    I am in awe and I appreciate the determination and discipline that goes with it. Most of the time when an oncall medical officer is on duty, they solely handle the referrals from emergency or ward and sometimes both. This goes on from the start of that day till the following morning and after which they would have to help out in clinics during their postcall, wards or even in operating theatres (OT).

    Most of the time, they are alone unless they are lucky enough to have a “tagger”. Thus it is them, the house officer, the registrar and the specialist that forms the oncall team.

    That is if they are oncall. In the wards, they rely on the house officers to carry out the active joblists, to take the bloods, request necessary scans, to resuscitate the patient first and inform if there are any acute issues and to carry out the morning, evening and oncall reviews while they are in the clinics or operating theatres or helping out in other places.

    I used to think that once we have completed housemanship, life will be better. However, after observing my medical officers and registrars, it does not actually get better, the stress is on another level, the responsibilities increases yet they pull through it with jokes and smiles. I used to think that, perhaps they have gotten used to it. On the other hand, I’m still struggling. 

    Medical Officers are in charge of the House Officers as well. Thus, if any pitfalls were to occur, of course we do get scolded but they are the ones who get reprimanded as well. I’ve lost count of the times when the medical officers have backed me up. Although I do know that, that is their duty but albeit the responsibilities and the stress, I’ve experienced it first hand multiple times when they would take the fall instead when it comes to answering the specialists.

    There are times when I do feel their anger were uncalled for. However, most of the time I understand that it mainly stems from tiredness. The patience really wears thin and snaps easily when there is lack of proper rest. 

    A lot is expected of them from the specialists and on top of that, taking care of us, House Officers too and teaching us what we do not know while trusting the patient’s care into our hands while they are off to help out in a different place. They are always a call away even if we are placed in the night shift. Thus, should there be any issues, they are always nearby and there.

    Yet, after work, after the tiring day and issues that occur in ward, they return home to their families and loved ones and try to go about their life, only to return and repeat it again the following day.

    Some might say, well, it is their duty isn’t it? I’ve heard it before.

    It is true and personally I feel that we as House Officers, although we are tired, and on top of that being tested emotionally, they are even more tired. 

    Thus, if there is anything at all that stems from this article, it is my deep and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation towards the Medical Officers, which are rarely said.

    My dear readers, if you are beginning your journey as a House Officer or is currently going through your housemanship or internship journey, have faith, patience and to always remember to be kind. Remember that as House Officers, we serve to ease the burdens of the Medical Officers on top of learning on the job, for we will one day take their place. 

    A fellow colleague always mentions this sentence while I’m in my Surgical Posting, “Don’t do unto others what you don’t want them to do unto you”.

    This wise line by Confucius has a special place in my heart and I hope it does for you as well. As you become more senior and familiar with the work at hand as well as build good relationships with your superiors, always remember to be humble and kind.

    Do not let cockiness overcome you nor be easily angered when a fellow junior makes a mistake or asks for guidance. 

    We were all once in their shoes as well.

    Always remember to take care of yourselves first, so you can serve others best.

    First of all, I don’t know how do you guys (medical officers) do it, pulling through an oncall shift, just to return for another oncall duty the following day after postcall. Perhaps it is because during my current batch, we have shifted fully to the “shift system”. Thus, we have yet to experience the “oncall” system which was experienced by the older house officer batches. 

    I am in awe and I appreciate the determination and discipline that goes with it. Most of the time when an oncall medical officer is on duty, they solely handle the referrals from emergency or ward and sometimes both. This goes on from the start of that day till the following morning and after which they would have to help out in clinics during their postcall, wards or even in operating theatres (OT).

    Most of the time, they are alone unless they are lucky enough to have a “tagger”. Thus it is them, the house officer, the registrar and the specialist that forms the oncall team.

    That is if they are oncall. In the wards, they rely on the house officers to carry out the active joblists, to take the bloods, request necessary scans, to resuscitate the patient first and inform if there are any acute issues and to carry out the morning, evening and oncall reviews while they are in the clinics or operating theatres or helping out in other places.

    I used to think that once we have completed housemanship, life will be better. However, after observing my medical officers and registrars, it does not actually get better, the stress is on another level, the responsibilities increases yet they pull through it with jokes and smiles. I used to think that, perhaps they have gotten used to it. On the other hand, I’m still struggling. 

    Medical Officers are in charge of the House Officers as well. Thus, if any pitfalls were to occur, of course we do get scolded but they are the ones who get reprimanded as well. I’ve lost count of the times when the medical officers have backed me up. Although I do know that, that is their duty but albeit the responsibilities and the stress, I’ve experienced it first hand multiple times when they would take the fall instead when it comes to answering the specialists.

    There are times when I do feel their anger were uncalled for. However, most of the time I understand that it mainly stems from tiredness. The patience really wears thin and snaps easily when there is lack of proper rest. 

    A lot is expected of them from the specialists and on top of that, taking care of us, House Officers too and teaching us what we do not know while trusting the patient’s care into our hands while they are off to help out in a different place. They are always a call away even if we are placed in the night shift. Thus, should there be any issues, they are always nearby and there.

    Yet, after work, after the tiring day and issues that occur in ward, they return home to their families and loved ones and try to go about their life, only to return and repeat it again the following day.

    Some might say, well, it is their duty isn’t it? I’ve heard it before.

    It is true and personally I feel that we as House Officers, although we are tired, and on top of that being tested emotionally, they are even more tired. 

    Thus, if there is anything at all that stems from this article, it is my deep and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation towards the Medical Officers, which are rarely said.

    My dear readers, if you are beginning your journey as a House Officer or is currently going through your housemanship or internship journey, have faith, patience and to always remember to be kind. Remember that as House Officers, we serve to ease the burdens of the Medical Officers on top of learning on the job, for we will one day take their place. 

    A fellow colleague always mentions this sentence while I’m in my Surgical Posting, “Don’t do unto others what you don’t want them to do unto you”.

    This wise line by Confucius has a special place in my heart and I hope it does for you as well. As you become more senior and familiar with the work at hand as well as build good relationships with your superiors, always remember to be humble and kind.

    Do not let cockiness overcome you nor be easily angered when a fellow junior makes a mistake or asks for guidance. 

    We were all once in their shoes as well.

    Always remember to take care of yourselves first, so you can serve others best.
