The Lie of Leaving an Impact
When did you stop expecting things to leave an impact? I figured it out right after high school. Not in some dramatic, movie-scene way. Just a slow, annoying realization that kept tapping me on the shoulder until I finally turned around and went, “oh… this is it?” Nobody cared then. Nobody cares now. Not really. All that talk about impact, legacy, making a difference. Cute. Sounds great in a speech. Doesn’t survive contact with real life. People graduate, scatter, and immediately […]https://ericfoltin.com/2026/04/03/the-lie-of-leaving-an-impact/

In Other News…
We bring you only the fluff.
https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/04/02/can-you-tell-a-story-in-331/ https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/04/01/writing-prompts-109/Good afternoon, it’s story challenge time. Can you tell a story in 39 words using the following words in it somewhere: ✅
PEACOCK
NEWSLETTER
CYMBALS
TOOTHPASTEIn the NBC monthly newsletter “The Peacock” I read an interesting article regarding AI music. An emerging artist was telling the reporter that he never had to worry about some prankster smearing toothpaste all over his top hat cymbals. [39 words]
Your prompt word this week is BOARD ✅
In other news the peacock also had an article on the misfortunes of Notre Dame football fans. It seems that a deal has been struck for all the games to be played on the peacock channel requiring everyone to pay an extra upcharge to watch the games this fall. The CFL is quickly losing their fanbase as everyone is getting on board with all the greedy changes occurring.

My First Hour Of The Day
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
By default I rise around 4-5am. Perhaps out of habit as I usually take my time in the morning. Sadly, this also happens during my off days even when my alarms are off. My body clock is somehow tuned to waking up at such.
As mentioned, I take my time upon waking up. Thus, upon waking up, the rain sounds which I fall asleep to would be playing in the background and I would sit by the side of my bed and slowly make my way to my kitchen which is just across my bed, since I live in a studio unit and put my kettle to boil.
The kettle is usually filled the night before and hence, one thing less for me to think in the morning. This is then followed by my morning bathroom rituals and brushing my teeth.
Usually by then, I would have been much more awake and proceed to consume my iron tablet, vitamin C and making my morning coffee which is a mixture of 3-in-1 sachet and a teaspoon of black coffee since I prefer an even stronger coffee.
If I were working that morning, I would prepare both of my 1.5L of flasks by filling them with cold coffee which I have brewed a day prior for me to bring to work.
Why 2 flasks? Well, one is not enough.
Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.comThere are days when I’m feeling hungry or in the mood, I would prepare myself breakfast. My go-to-regular is frying egg mixed with mushrooms, chopped chilli and curry leaves and adding them to my breakfast sandwich. During my time being vegetarian, I would usually grill or air-fry my premixed tofu which I have marinated with spices, acting as a burger patty and my breakfast sandwich is prepared.
There are days, despite waking up earlier, I would still miss breakfast, thus instead I would pack it for work.
After that is followed by showering and getting ready for work. I usually wash my hair in the mornings daily. Thus, prior leaving for work, I would dry my hair with a hair dryer and style it up in a bun and I’m good to go.
How about if I’m not working on that day or if I’m night shift for that day?
Usually I proceed with my usual cup of coffee or I would go the extra mile by brewing myself a pot of masala or ginger tea with the tv playing in the background of some random YouTube video on productivity, to which I’m usually not listening to and merely keeping it on in the background for some background noise.
Then, I would proceed to prepare my breakfast and start my day with some writing or studying.
Well, that’s my first hour for the day, or perhaps a little more than that.

Iced Tea & Cold Brew Coffee
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
What is your favorite drink?
As the title entails, it is Iced Tea and Cold Coffee.
1. Iced Tea
Photo by Barbara Webb on Pexels.comI fell in love with tea, green tea, black tea and oolong tea in particular when I was 14 years old.
At that time, I was looking into drinks to aid my weight loss and I came across green tea and oolong tea being suitable drinks in facilitating weight loss when consumed without sugar.
Thus, I brewed my first proper sugarless green tea and fell in love with the taste. Ever since then, I started drinking it on a regular basis and it has pretty much replaced water for me.
Did it aid with weight loss?
Perhaps in the beginning, eventually, I continued drinking it because I enjoyed the taste be it warm or cold.
As I started working, I would usually prepare cold brew green tea in order for me to bring to work the following day.
Photo by Charlotte May on Pexels.comWhy cold?
The environment that I’m working in can get rather warm and considering I am a person who perspires easily, the temperature of the tea eases me and provides immediate rejuvenation.
Even after a long day at work, nothing refreshes me more than a cold brew green tea served in mason jar and a straw.
2. Cold Coffee
Photo by Marta Dzedyshko on Pexels.comI am a HUGE fan of coffee, black sugarless coffee in particular.
My love for coffee began since I was in primary school, which I think is a bad thing since children are not supposed to consume coffee.
Back then, my mother would used to prepare coffee for my father and milo for me prior to my father sending me off to school and heading to work.
Me and my father would then switch drinks after he has drank half of his drink.
Then, when I turned 14 years old, I started pulling an all nighter or getting up at midnight just to study.
Eventually, I developed immunity towards coffee and is able to fall asleep even after consuming it. Thus, I merely consume it out of addiction and routine.
As I started working, as mentioned in my explanation for cold tea, the environment is rather warm for me to be consuming hot coffee. Hence, I would prepare my mason jars of coffee the night prior and transfer it into my flask the following day.

¿Cómo mejorar el lugar donde vives? 🏡✨ Enseñando pensamiento crítico desde la primaria
Sugerencia de escritura del día ¿Cómo mejorarías el lugar donde vives? Ver todas las respuestasSi de verdad queremos mejorar el lugar donde vivimos, una de las mejores formas de hacerlo es enseñar pensamiento crítico desde la primaria 📚. Aprender a identificar propaganda y rastrear su origen es clave para no caer en manipulaciones y discursos de odio disfrazados de «opiniones».
Hoy en día, con tantos casos de acoso en línea y campañas de desinformación, es más importante que nunca analizar de dónde vienen estos ataques y qué intereses hay detrás. Un claro ejemplo de esto es lo que está ocurriendo con Rachel Zegler 😳.
Lo que pasa con Rachel Zegler y la historia de la misoginia en línea 🔥
En los últimos días, el odio hacia Rachel Zegler ha estado en llamas. Muchas críticas parecen venir de lugares «sospechosos», lo que me llevó a investigar más sobre los movimientos de la derecha alternativa en EE.UU. y su historial de misoginia en línea 🧐.
Lo curioso es que toman declaraciones realmente inocentes de Rachel para lanzarle un odio desmedido, pero no cuestionan a Disney ni al productor de la película por haberla casteado y elegido 🤨. Ella no tiene culpa de haber sido seleccionada, pero la están atacando como si la decisión hubiera sido suya. Irónicamente, omiten que cuenta con el apoyo de Pedro Pascal, uno de los actores más queridos actualmente y orgullosamente latino.
Más irónico aún es que, por ejemplo, en México se repite el mismo discurso del hombre blanco promedio de EE.UU., cuando en realidad somos un pueblo que sería de los «otros» a los que estos grupos suelen acosar 😔.
Así que, acompáñame en este viaje para entender de dónde viene todo esto y por qué es importante enseñar a pensar críticamente desde la primaria 📚.
Elevatorgate: cuando un «no lo hagan, chicos» desató el infierno 🙇♀️
Todo comenzó en una convención de ateos cuando una chica publicó en un foro sobre un hombre que le coqueteó en un elevador e intentó invitarla a su habitación 🚗. Ella simplemente recomendó a los hombres que evitaran hacer eso y BOOM: recibió amenazas de muerte 💥.
Lo más loco es que ni siquiera reveló la identidad del tipo. Se podría pensar que los religiosos son los que más critican a las mujeres, pero aquí se vio que también hay ateos sexistas 🧐.
Gamergate: el «activismo» gamer que se volvió acoso 🎮😔
Luego llegó el famoso Gamergate, que comenzó cuando un desarrollador acusó a su exnovia Zoe Quinn de haberle sido infiel con un periodista de videojuegos para obtener buenas reseñas. Lo peor es que esa reseña nunca existió, pero el movimiento se disfrazó de «transparencia» para justificar ataques y acoso en masa contra Quinn 💬❌.
Comicsgate: ¿la diversidad arruinó los cómics? 🌟
En la industria del cómic también se desató una batalla cuando las editoriales empezaron a incluir personajes de distintos grupos raciales, étnicos y con diversidad de orientación sexual 🤝. Algunos fans argumentaban que esto se hacía a costa de una buena narrativa y que reemplazaban personajes icónicos (como cuando Tony Stark fue sustituido por Riri Williams 🌟).
¿Y qué tiene que ver esto con Rachel Zegler? 🤔
Lo que está pasando con Rachel tiene muchas similitudes con estos casos: un grupo de «fans» enojados porque sienten que sus historias favoritas están siendo modificadas para ser «políticamente correctas». Pero, al analizarlo bien, se ve un patrón de odio dirigido especialmente a mujeres que desafían lo que ellos consideran «normal» 🚫.
Pensamiento crítico desde la primaria: la clave para no caer en propaganda 🤦♀️
Con toda esta información, es claro que desde pequeños se debe enseñar a analizar la información, cuestionar fuentes y entender cuándo un contenido busca manipular emociones en lugar de presentar hechos 💡.
Además, otro punto importante es enseñar a reconocer cuándo la burla se hace a costa de alguien más. En muchas culturas, como en México, hacer chistes pesados es parte de la idiosincrasia, pero rara vez se respeta cuando la persona afectada expresa que le molesta. Ahora la respuesta fácil es decir «generación de cristal» en lugar de reflexionar sobre el impacto de la vergüenza tóxica y cómo esto perpetúa ciclos de trauma. No se trata de perder el humor, sino de entender los límites y el respeto 💬✨.
La derecha alternativa se cuela en el entretenimiento 🚨
La derecha alternativa se está colando ahora en el mundo del entretenimiento y, con lo que está pasando en México, no me sorprendería en absoluto si un partido de extrema derecha gana poder. Este movimiento ha permeado diversas industrias y está ganando terreno, lo que hace aún más urgente que todos aprendamos a cuestionar la información que recibimos.
El crítico de cine y el pensamiento crítico 📽️
Hace poco vi que un crítico de cine publicó en su muro que los «ciudadanos comunes» se creían críticos y que no podían publicar sus puntos de vista. Eso, sinceramente, me parece una postura muy fascista. El pensamiento crítico en cualquier nivel de estudios es indispensable, y es lo más sensato para una convivencia tanto en línea como en la vida real. No es cuestión de ser experto, sino de ser capaz de pensar por uno mismo, cuestionar lo que nos dicen y analizar diferentes perspectivas.
Si queremos un mundo mejor, necesitamos formar personas que piensen críticamente y no se dejen llevar por discursos de odio disfrazados de «críticas» 🌟.
👉 Y tú, ¿qué opinas sobre esto? ¿Crees que la educación en pensamiento crítico puede cambiar las cosas? ¡Deja tu comentario! 💬👇

Pensamiento de Oscar «Madrid necesita un cambio radical»
Sugerencia de escritura del día ¿Cómo mejorarías el lugar donde vives? Ver todas las respuestas¿Cómo mejorar el lugar donde vivo? Pues en primer lugar seguro que mejoraría si tuvieramos otro presidente o presidenta en la Comunidad de Madrid, alguien que no apueste por la confrontación, que apueste por lo que nos une y no por lo que nos separa, que no se haga la victima ante las críticas y que tenga valor admitir errores y mejorar, que sea honesto/a y transparente, que tengo modos muchos más educados y sosegados, que gobierne para toda la ciudadanía de la región de Madrid y no para unos pocos, ante todo que se haga justicia a 7291 personas que faltan y no se morían igual.
También en la ciudad de Madrid me encantaría un alcalde como Enrique Tierno Galván, uno de mis sueños es ser yo el Tierno Galvan el siglo XXI la verdad es esa, pero adaptado al siglo XXI, que se promueva «Una Movida Madrileña» adaptada al siglo XXI, que se promueva una explosión cultural, donde el arte, la música y la alegría vuelva a las calles de Madrid.
Por supuesto la vivienda es uno de los temas principales de esa acción de gobierno de Madrid, promover vivienda social y asequible, también recuperar el centro de la ciudad para los madrileños, facilitando reformar las casas antiguas y promoviendo alquileres accesibles.
Por supuesto fomentar el empleo de calidad es otro de los objetivos, reindustralizar Madrid, invertir en empleo verde, poner atención también en la empleabilidad de colectivos vulnerables como mujeres, jovenes, mayores de 50 años y personas con discapacidad.
Mejorar el transporte en Madrid, mi proyecto es reinstaurar el tranvia en la ciudad de Madrid, mejorar los frecuencias en el transporte, poner el abono gratuito para desempleados, personas con discapacidad, mayores de 65 años, y poner permanente la reducción de precio vigente en los abonos y billetes del Gobierno.
Avanzar en la digitalización, mejorar sensiblemente la conectividad en las zonas rurales, facilitar el acceso a Internet en los hogares y mejorar e impulsar la digitalización de PYMES
Fomentar el comercio de proximidad y local, las PYMES frente a las grandes superficies.
Por supuesto aumentar significativamente en el presupuesto para Sanidad y arreglar de inmediato todas las deficiencias en Centros de Salud y Hospitales de la Comunidad de Madrid, revertir el proceso de privatización y volver a tener para Madrid una sanidad pública y de calidad para todo el pueblo madrileño.
Y volver a hacer de la radio televisión pública madrileña un canal para todos/as los madrileños, que ya no haya ni TeleAyuso, ni TeleEspe, hacer una ley para blindar la neutralidad y despolitización de Telemadrid y Onda Madrid.
Y seguro que me dejo muchas cosas mas, esto es una de muchas reformas que emprendería en mi Comunidad Autónoma y mi ciudad, yo sólo quiero el Madrid abierto que siempre ha sido y no el lugar antipático que parece ser para algunos o algunas, así es como pienso, por supuesto esto es muy debatible por supuesto, yo sólo quiero sentir que mi ciudad, mi región, mi país la sienta como mía y de todos y todas, así de claro.
Abrazos enormes, amigos y amigas.

Mejorar el transporte en Madrid, mi proyecto es reinstaurar el tranvia en la ciudad de Madrid, mejorar los frecuencias en el transporte, poner el abono gratuito para desempleados, personas con discapacidad, mayores de 65 años, y poner permanente la reducción de precio vigente en los abonos y billetes del Gobierno.
Avanzar en la digitalización, mejorar sensiblemente la conectividad en las zonas rurales, facilitar el acceso a Internet en los hogares y mejorar e impulsar la digitalización de PYMES
Fomentar el comercio de proximidad y local, las PYMES frente a las grandes superficies.
Por supuesto aumentar significativamente en el presupuesto para Sanidad y arreglar de inmediato todas las deficiencias en Centros de Salud y Hospitales de la Comunidad de Madrid, revertir el proceso de privatización y volver a tener para Madrid una sanidad pública y de calidad para todo el pueblo madrileño.
Y volver a hacer de la radio televisión pública madrileña un canal para todos/as los madrileños, que ya no haya ni TeleAyuso, ni TeleEspe, hacer una ley para blindar la neutralidad y despolitización de Telemadrid y Onda Madrid.
Y seguro que me dejo muchas cosas mas, esto es una de muchas reformas que emprendería en mi Comunidad Autónoma y mi ciudad, yo sólo quiero el Madrid abierto que siempre ha sido y no el lugar antipático que parece ser para algunos o algunas, así es como pienso, por supuesto esto es muy debatible por supuesto, yo sólo quiero sentir que mi ciudad, mi región, mi país la sienta como mía y de todos y todas, así de claro.
Abrazos enormes, amigos y amigas.

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.

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.comThe 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.comIn 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.

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.

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.

Daily writing prompt What would your life be like without music? View all responsesUtterly 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 responsesWorking 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.

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.

Daily writing prompt What things give you energy? View all responsesWorking 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.

“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.

In my previous article, I have talked about my experience as an EPAU (Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit) House Officer.
The ANSC (Antenatal Specialist Clinic) is a separate clinic of its own. Usually patients with other underlying issues comes in for follow up here and most of the time, it is combined with the Medical team. The operating hours are on weekdays from 9am till 12pm and 2pm till 5pm.
The joblists for ANSC is similar to that of EPAU. The patients over here will come in for scan and the medical officers are in charge of screening and scanning the patients. After which, the patients will go to their allocated specialists.
The job of the House Officer?
Our job is merely to record down scan findings or to call the patients or to take their blood or fill up blood requests forms if needed. There are instances whereby we need to request certain radiological tests or to get an outpatient appointment.
But that’s about it actually. The good thing about EPAU and ANSC is that we do get lunch breaks. Thus, it is something I always looked forward to.
Usually in the afternoon, it is a different clinic. Most of the time I would stay behind. Mainly because once we are done with the clinics, we are expected to return to Labour Ward and help out since our working hours are till 7pm. Thus, I try my best to delay my return to the labour ward for as long as possible.
My experience as a House Officer in both the EPAU and ANSC were both enjoyable and fun.

EPAU of the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit is like working in a clinic. Before I begin, allow me to express how much I absolutely love it when I am allocated as the “EPAU House Officer” for the day.
The hospital that I am practicing in is Hospital Umum Sarawak otherwise known as Sarawak General Hospital.
The working hours as an EPAU HO is from 8am till 5pm, with a lunch break from 12pm till 2pm. This is then followed by the continuation of work from 2pm till about 5pm.
Most of the cases seen here are patients who go for follow up most likely due to foetal growth restriction (FGR) or cases referred from Klinik Kesihatan. There are some cases whereby the gestation is yet to be seen in utero likely because it is too early but the pregnancy test appears positive, hence they are on follow up for scan of gestational viability after a week or two. In terms of gynae cases, most of the patients that come in are impending miscarriages or patients who have miscarriage but are on follow up to check on their B-hCG.
As an EPAU house officer, our duty is to first screen through the cases that comes in. As I mentioned before, some cases are referred while some are on follow-up.
Thus, we will screen through by writing their age followed by their gestation and parity and finally, any relevant antenatal history.
After we are done screening, we help out with writing the scan findings, calling the patients or helping to take bloods.
There’s not much that needs to be done actually but on certain days whereby the patient load is tremendous, it can get extremely busy.
However, being an EPAU house officer is a good experience and a good change of scene especially if you’ve been allocated to the ward always.

Daily writing prompt How would you improve your community? View all responsesThe best way to improve my community, my whole country, would be to do the same thing the free world did during the second world war. Just remove the fascists. I don’t want it to take a war like it did back then. Let’s give them an island or something. They seem to be okay with their cult leader visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island so they would likely be fine with a nazi island. Then we let them think they are their own independent country and let them think they are able to sustain themselves, sort of the way many of the southern US states think they can operate without Federal funds that they get from the more liberal states they claim to despise. They can have their marches and their rallies and they can discriminate against anyone who doesn’t look like them and they can treat immigrants poorly (as if there would be any immigrants) and they can treat women like property (as if any women would go there). If they try to leave the island the rest of the free world stops them. If they get too big for their britches we slap them back into place.
Ahh, what a world that would be.
Of course I could never actually condone this because it goes against everything I believe in as far as personal freedoms are concerned. That sucks. I guess I have to stay true to myself. Bummer, eh? Still, a fascist free community would sure be nice, wouldn’t it?
