bismillah...


A very touching Story. but it sometimes do happen in a doctor's life. something to ponder isn't?
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. 
He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block.

He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. 

On seeing him, the dad yelled:
"Why did U take all this time to come? Don't U know that my son's life is in danger? Don't U have any sense of responsibility?"

The doctor smiled & said:
"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"

"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would U calm down? If your own son dies now what will U do??" said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"

"Giving advises when we're not concerned is so easy" Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
"Thank goodness!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running. "If U have any question, ask the nurse!!"

"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."

*Moral of the story : Never judge anyone..... because U never know how their life is & what they're going through"

Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. :')

healthcare center. public vs private

bismillah....

from my humble observation in a short period of 2 weeks in anaest posting, Taiping hospital..
(or perhaps an accumulations of thoughts and ideas since I'm entering this field, which now it finally able to come out from my brain.*smirk)

the issue that i would like to raise is:
-patients@relatives would pay a sum of money just to get the best service and treatment from the private healthcare facilities. but without they notice, even the privates have to send the patients to the public government hospital once the patients were in a great need of intensive care, emergency interventions etc.

the question is:
-why would they choose the privates in the first place?

the answer is:
-of course to look for the answer we would have to go back to the services provided by the government healthcare facilities. what's wrong with it? everyone knows the answer, especially those who have been receiving treatment in district clinics, outpatient clinics or the emergency units just to name a few. the inpatient would rather complaint about the food, the air conditioner, etc but rarely the treatment they receive.
-Yes i would say my statement is quite bias because not all public healthcare facilities are like that. (if you know what issue that I' talking about.) Nonetheless, it is the small things that would affect the image of the healthcare providers compared to the great contributions they have made. In conclusion, steps should be taken to improvise the customer service quality of the healthcare providers rather than to ignore the calling of the people that were gasping for a better quality healthcare services without spending large sum of money.

#people respect us for what we did, not for what we say. so practice what we preach.
