One of the best discoveries that has helped so many ❤️

They found the retrovirus that causes AIDS.

In May 1983, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier reported a discovery that came to be crucial in radically improving treatment methods for people living with HIV.

It is getting so much harder and longer to become specialist.

Generasi Doktor Yang Tersangkut Di Ruang Menunggu

Ada satu perkara yang ramai orang luar mungkin tidak nampak.

Kerjaya doktor di KKM bukan sekadar tentang kerja syif, on-call, klinik penuh dan wad sesak. Ia juga tentang satu penantian yang makin panjang, makin kabur, dan makin melemahkan semangat.

Dulu, laluan itu lebih jelas.

Habis HO, jadi MO. Tidak lama selepas itu, sudah boleh diserap tetap. Bila sudah tetap, peluang untuk mohon HLP dan masuk latihan kepakaran datang lebih awal. Ramai doktor dulu boleh mula latihan pakar pada usia 28 atau 29 tahun.

Sekarang, umur 32 pun belum tentu dapat masuk.

Bukan sebab mereka tidak mahu jadi pakar.

Bukan sebab mereka malas belajar.

Bukan sebab mereka tidak cukup berkorban.

Tetapi kerana ramai doktor muda hari ini tersekat terlalu lama di fasa kontrak, menunggu jawatan tetap, menunggu peluang, menunggu penempatan, menunggu kelulusan, menunggu sistem yang sepatutnya membantu mereka bergerak ke hadapan.

Setiap tahun yang hilang itu bukan sekadar angka.

Ia umur. Ia tenaga. Ia fasa hidup. Ia semangat yang makin menipis.

Apabila lambat jadi tetap, lambatlah mohon HLP. Bila lambat HLP, lambatlah jadi pakar. Bila lambat jadi pakar, lambatlah p**a masuk sub-kepakaran. Akhirnya negara kehilangan masa bertahun-tahun untuk melahirkan pakar yang sangat diperlukan rakyat.

Dalam masa yang sama, beban penyakit makin bertambah.

Pesakit buah pinggang makin ramai. Pesakit jantung makin ramai. Pesakit kanser makin ramai. Warga emas makin ramai. Temujanji hospital makin panjang. Klinik makin padat.

Tetapi laluan untuk melahirkan doktor pakar p**a makin sempit.

Kemudian apabila doktor keluar KKM dan memilih menjadi GP, masyarakat mula bertanya, “Kenapa doktor semua lari?”

Mungkin soalan yang lebih tepat ialah:

Berapa lama seseorang itu mampu bertahan dalam sistem yang membuat masa depannya sentiasa tergantung?

Doktor juga manusia. Mereka ada keluarga, komitmen, usia, impian dan had emosi. Tidak semua orang mampu menunggu sampai 10 atau 15 tahun hanya untuk sampai ke tempat yang dahulu boleh dicapai jauh lebih awal.

Lebih perit apabila latihan klinikal yang sebenarnya penuh kerja, pesakit, on-call dan tanggungjawab masih dilihat seperti “cuti belajar”.

Ini bukan cuti.

Ini bukan rehat.

Ini latihan sambil bekerja dalam sistem kesihatan sebenar.

Kalau negara benar-benar mahu menyelamatkan KKM, kita tidak boleh hanya suruh doktor bersabar. Kita perlu betulkan laluan kerjaya mereka.

Sebab apabila doktor muda hilang harapan, KKM bukan sekadar kehilangan seorang pegawai.

KKM kehilangan bakal pakar.

Rakyat kehilangan akses rawatan.

Hospital kehilangan tenaga penting.

Dan akhirnya, pesakit juga yang menunggu lebih lama.

Kerjaya doktor tidak sepatutnya menjadi perjalanan yang makin “ke laut”. Ia sepatutnya menjadi laluan yang jelas, adil dan berbaloi untuk mereka yang masih mahu berkhidmat kepada negara.

Beyond Private Practice: A Grateful Milestone ✨

Over the last year since going full-time private practice, I’m incredibly grateful for this milestone and for the trust you’ve placed in me to offer additional services. 🙏

Big thanks to Sunway Medical Centre Velocity and the Sunway Healthcare Group for allowing me to keep serving government (KKM) and MOE facilities, and for helping me reach those who can’t afford private care. 🏥💖

Clinics I run :
🤝Visiting Adult Neuro-Immunology/Immunodeficiency at HKL 🧠🧬
🤝Visiting Paediatric Infectious Disease & Immunology at HSAAS, UPM 🧒🏻🩺
🤝Visiting Adult Immunodeficiency at IPR 🧑🏻‍⚕️
🤝Visiting Immunology at SGH, Sarawak 🌍
Huge shoutout to the amazing teams who support this work! 🙌

We’ve helped patients with some of the rarest Immunology/Immunodeficiency conditions, all as pro-bono care. 🌟

My goal is to keep a strong public-sector partnership while continuing my clinical duties at the private hospital. 💪

A quick thought on public vs. private practice :
*There’s a lot of talk about doctors moving out of the public sector and training challenges. Let’s remember everyone’s got their own story and struggles. Times are tough for many—financially and more—so empathy goes a long way. 💬🤝

What I’ve learned and want to share :

"Do what makes you happy, do the right thing, help within your means, and stay true to yourself." 🫶
