Lazy Days As A Medical Officer
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
While I’m at work, I’d be looking forward to returning home or towards my off day. In contrary, while I’m at home or on my off day, I’d be thinking about returning to work.
Do you feel the same way?
Previously, as a House Officer, I’m used to the “one off day per week”. Whereas, as a Medical Officer, weekends and public holidays are granted off days, except if you’re well… oncall and that depends on your current department as well as some departments require you to put in a half day shift during weekends or public holidays.
I’d say for me, considering I live alone and I don’t even own a car here in Sarawak, I’m pretty much lazy and unproductive to the point I get restless sometimes.
That’s counter productive as rest days are meant to make you feel… rested, right?
Thus, on my off days, since I’m an early riser, I try not to disturb my circadian rhythm by getting up at the same time as usual every morning, partly because I forgot to off the alarm or somehow, my body clock just wakes me up every time.
To feel so-called “productive”, I’d do some studying with my morning coffee till I well, lose my focus, then I start wondering about lunch and start cooking, handwash my clothes because I’m too lazy to walk downstairs with a bag of clothes and finally doze off for my afternoon nap.
I’d then wake up in the evening to have dinner and pack my essentials and bag for work the following day before finally, retiring to bed early.
I really need to be more productive during my off days.
Even me writing this just sounds too depressing.

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.

As you can see based on the prompt that I would be answering, Surgical Posting is definitely the place where the environment among the superiors felt more like a family to me and I’ve always felt the love and care towards one another and the patients in the whole team.
Prior to entering this department, I’ve always had my doubts and fear considering that I’ve heard numerous negative comments in regard to the department. Mostly, the department was deemed “toxic”.
However, upon entering there during my first day, I was guided and encouraged to follow rounds even when I seemed rather lost. I was not reprimanded or shouted at but instead I was guided and taught.
No doubt it is a tiring posting and after having completed my tagging period in all of the 5 major postings (Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Surgical and Medical), the tagging period in the Surgical Posting is the most tiring for me.
This posting sort of reminds me of Orthopaedics except the amount of patients are full-blown, never ending with random or common surgical-related issues and the patients are even more unstable.
The thing about being in this posting is that usually when an order is given by our superiors, it is expected to be carried out STAT, meaning immediately and they will usually keep checking in to know the progress and status of the patient which is both good and also annoying. Good because it keeps you on our toes and ensure things are being carried out. Bad as the day could be burning with multiple issues and joblists and there is lack of manpower and you barely had time to sit or even had a drink and next, you’re being summoned again.
However, looking back, I definitely enjoyed every bit of my journey over there. Eventually, I was given the responsibility of being one of the leaders in this department, the daily allocator to be exact, by my friend.
This unknowingly deepens my relationship among my superiors as we would constantly reach out to each other.
Along the way, I made friends with the nurses at Male Surgical Ward and I will always be grateful for their help.
The Surgical Posting also made me realise how much I enjoy Surgical-based and that I am one. Despite my initial interest in Medical upon entering my housemanship journey, I realised that I love hands-on more and I need to “see” the issue. For example, if a patient complaints of abdominal pain, assess the patient, send some blood workups which might help and in your direction of care as well as scans.
Most of the time, the issue is identified through the scan with the blood workup being highly suggestive. Thus we move on from there.
I can’t quite explain. Somehow it just make sense to me just like when I was previously in the Orthopaedics Department.
This posting is also where I spent the longest time. I entered the posting on the 4th of July 2024, which is around 5 months as I took a break in between due to my injury.
The Surgical Posting definitely holds a dear place in my heart. Upon bumping into my old superiors, I still greet them with joy and a smile, reminiscing my good times within the department.
If you are due to join the Surgical Posting, please prepare yourself both mentally and physically.
In my opinion, the Surgical Posting is a physically tiring and not as bad as it seems despite the multiple negative remarks. Perhaps, it was a different experience for others but in my humble opinion, it is NOT a toxic department. At least at the place that I am practicing in.
Have faith, hang in there and try your ultimate best everyday in both your work as well as in trying to learn the most you can out of this posting and journey.

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.

On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer #research #facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."
Why it matters:
⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️The big picture:
"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.
Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical #removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.
Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia.
It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN.
💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.Zoom out:
Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal #surgeries more successful.The awardees are
Dartmouth College,
Johns Hopkins University,
Rice University,
University of California in San Francisco,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
University of Washington and
Cision Vision in California.
Their projects include inventing a #new #microscope and creating #new #imaging #systems to visualize blood vessels and nerves

#Wegovy®, #Zepbound®, and similar medications continue to gain attention for effectively treating #obesity, and now there is discussion—with research underway—about their potential for improving certain #surgical outcomes.
The brand-name medications mentioned above belong to a class called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists. #GLP-1s mimic the actions of the GLP-1 hormone, which is secreted in the gut and sends an “I’m full” signal to the brain after you eat.
GLP-1 medications aren’t new. @Ozempic® (generic name: #semaglutide) received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat type 2 diabetes in 2017.
After its weight-loss effects were studied, semaglutide (at a higher dose and sold under the name Wegovy) was approved by the FDA as an anti-obesity medication in 2021, and others have since followed.
Most recently, the FDA approved Wegovy for patients with #cardiovascular #disease and obesity or overweight after a study showed that those taking the medication had a lower overall risk of major cardiac events, such as heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular-related death.
Now, some Yale Medicine surgeons believe, based on their ongoing research, that taking anti-obesity medications before and sometimes after total #joint #replacement and #bariatric #surgery can be beneficial.
“These medications have been transformative, in terms of expanding the pool of people who can safely undergo joint replacement surgery,” says Daniel Wiznia, MD, a Yale Medicine orthopaedic surgeon and co-director of the Avascular Necrosis Program.
“These anti-obesity medications are game-changers; they are changing the way people practice medicine.”
Often, patients who need a total hip or knee replacement must delay surgery until they lose enough weight to meet specific body mass index ( #BMI ) standards.
This is important in protecting the patient’s health.“Weight increases a patient’s risk of postoperative complications, including wound-healing problems, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, and infection,” he says.
However, having patients take a GLP-1 medication before surgery, as well as improving their diet, has allowed more patients to reach a safe preoperative BMI, Dr. Wiznia says.
