Personally, I'm all for trying new things... taking risks in life. Somehow, I don't like the monotony of medical life.

that's the spirit SIRE! and it's what life is all about...
why is why I do not want to commit myself to any courses for the moment being..

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Haha.. Thanks!

Well, it's not legal to do that. The reason why doctors are considered professional is because there is always peer review. In the sense that all doctors have been judged to be competent by their peers (or superiors).

Until a doctor is verified to be competent, he cannot be given the licence to practice. The housemanship period is a training and evaluation period to ensure that the doctor gets the training he needs to be competent.

Of course, what happens in real life is often quite a bit different from the ideal. In any case, legally, I cannot practice here in Malaysia or anywhere else. I'm only a doctor in name. So, please don't call me Dr.

What I'd like to know is, why did you decide on studying medicine in the first place, and did you ever think that it wouldn't actually be your choice of career after all? ...also...what does your family think of it?

Oh, and how about giving us an idea of some of the dreams and ambitions you have?

Well.. I've always been a little nutty... even reckless.

Hmm.. Maybe I was influenced by my father.. and relatives. Partially also because it's a "noble profession". You know - you get to help people.

But I actually told my parents that I would most likely NOT practice medicine, even before I left for India. I wanted to study medicine for my own reasons, not because it offers me a great job.

Well, I did mention a few earlier, didn't I?

I would certainly love to start on a writing career. Maybe a novel or two? My imagination has been rubbed dull by the monotony of medical life but I hope I can still do something about it.

I would also love to develop ARP into the tech hub I envisioned so long ago. Granted, I will need the help of many people in the community to achieve this... but I hope with perseverance, I will be able to achieve this soon.
