Colleagues busuk....

What the hell has happened to professionalism??? Sometimes when I read the slogan, "sikap penyayang, bekerja berpasukan and professionalisme..." - I seriously laugh, man.

The last time I took a long leave (long = more than one day) was in January. and how many months ago was that? Bila ada overlapping PH pun I'm either oncall or postcall. and then bila nak amik cuti in continuation with overlapping PH, fikirrrrr la seratus kali whether I really need the break or not because I know all hell breaks loose in an OPD after overlapping holidays (hence why I must be the only person in Malaysia who hates overlapping holidays but that's another blog entry).

I think some MOs in my hospital has been taking advantage of others. Take for example our OPD; at the moment there are three MOs there (average of 250-300 patients per day) tapi boleh kira dgn jari la how many days there are three of us. Most of the time one is away for a meeting, a course or assisting with visiting specialists. When you're in charge of the OPD (read: moi), takde tapi2, sharp 8.15am at least kena start tgk patients already. Most days, you finish at past 1 pm. Pukul 2 suku or lewat2 pun, half two you have to start again.

I don't like to call myself calculating, but when day in and day out you see your colleagues (who is supposed to be helping out) leave her parking space at half twelve -quarter to one and only drive leisurely back at half two, sape yang tak bengang? Tambah lagi this certain MO never shows her face to help with seeing patients. Nor is she at the casualty to assist the MO there. So, what are you doing haaaaa?????? Mengelamun? Berlenggang???

The story via the grapevine recently was that she went off for a course in Pahang early this month. Tetapi rerupanya, she didn't go for the course AND didn't turn up for work. What the hell? So it's no wonder that the other silently suffering MO retaliated by taking off for more than a week after she came back. Poodacit punya org.

The other colleague busuk of the year is another pain in the ass. I don't care if she reads this because I am sure as hell going to give her something worth listening to during the next MO meeting. She is only in charge of the Labour Room (which gets about 6-8 admissions per day nowadays) and the ante/postnatal ward. It goes without saying of course that she also is in charge of the Gynae/Antenatal Clinic. She took leave yesterday and came for work today and taking the rest of the week off? Okay la, kalau tak ganggu kerja aku, tak kisah la but why the hell are you taking a day off when you're supposed to assist the specialist? Siapa jugak yg kena ganti? Akuuuuu jugak. So, esok OPD only one MO left. What the hell?? MO yg luluskan cuti pun satu, and yg tolong sign as pengganti pun satu. Korang dah tahu perangai minah andalusia tu macam tu, jangan la sign borang cuti tu, fahammmm???

Eii, hangin aku.

Sure doesn't help the fact that I am on call tomorrow......sigh.....
