Malaysians need to be aware what has happened in the past 48 hours since the rise in

cases.. 1. Major hospitals have been ordered to discharge and/or divert non-covid patients away.. and mind you non-covid does NOT mean stable & well
Lost a colleague today to

When i first returned to Malaysia.. she taught me everything there was to know abt CCU care. Msians think that our covid is different from that of the UK or Italy.. but fact is our covid kills.. she was a young healthy mother..
ALL MSIAN POLITICIANS NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO MSIAN HEALTHCARE WORKERS... LIKE 'PUBLIC APOLOGY' APOLOGIZE & NOT ONE OF THOSE ON FB.. I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING FINE BULL CRAP..

Lack of response to the vaccine. SAD 😰So many slots lefts! THE BEST VACCINE IS THE VACCINE YOU CAN GET THE QUICKEST. The faster every1 is vaccinated the better.. Dont go complaining abt 6k or 7k cases per day is you haven't done your part !!!😡

would not postpone a bloody state election.. Do these ministers think healthcare workers are HAPPY to be reliving this nightmare all over again? There really needs to be repercussions
Spent 15mins (normally its 15sec lol) taking a referral from a jr dr & decided prob best to teach whilst listening to the presentation. Bcoz of this, we were able 2 brainstorm a list of ddx + formulate a plan.. and could feel how grateful the jr dr was..

"At least we didnt reach 10k..." is a stupid reason to say you have NOT failed. BE HUMBLE. ADMIT THAT DOUBLE STANDARDS & POLITICAL PRESSURES played a part please. Once we have reflected on our wrongdoings, then can we only progress & improve

PKP 2.0 tidak gagal. Jika kita tidak buat PKP 2.0, kes boleh mencecah 10,000 kes sehari. KKM jangka kes menurun pada Mei, namun selepas kelonggaran kepada banyak sektor ekonomi dan sosial dan kelesuan pandemik, kes kembali meningkat. Awal Mei, kes kembali 3.000 sehari.
This is the same in almost any industry. Hospital admin will allow HCW to bicker amongst themselves when theres issues with patient care (no beds, poor staffing, etc..) when it really is their crap to manage..
I've always felt that 'burnt out' just wasn't the best way of describing what's happening in Msia. Yes, we're tired but if you love your job, you still go home satisfied. 'Demoralized' is a better was of describing the current situation

Let us know how WE can help YOU.. Together, lets BEAT HEART FAILURE !!!
2022:
1. Started a heart failure attachment in IJN
2. Passed my
#echofirst
boards and EACVI TTE exam
3. Presented on HF topics ranging from
#GDMT
to
#LVAD
and
#hearttransplant
4. Got my NSR 🥲
5. More importantly, met so many wonderful people along the way
#cherished
#memories
2. Neighbouring hospitals not involved in covid care have been informed to help take over care of non-covid patients.. which means having to postpone semi-urgent and elective cases.. this DOES NOT mean well patients.. just that they are not going to deteriorate soon...
We were inspired to produce a self-care guide for our heart failure patients after reading the ESC position paper by
@ESC_Journals
@EditorEJCN
.. a lot of great pearls in the original paper.. and we've condensed it and adapted it for local practice !
#heartsuccess
#HeartFailure
3. Clinics have been ask to shut down for the time being.. meaning patients are probably not going to get important medications top-ups.. heart failure patients w/out medication r likely gonna decompensate & get re-admitted emergently.. defeating the purpose of keeping them away
I am begging people to not follow what the govt is advocating at the moment.. stay home and stay safe.. people have their own agendas when it comes to creating policies & rules.. it need not be in the interest of everyone..
Over the weekend.. 2 people who were pregnant passed away due to
#covid19
#covid19malaysia
... and mortality was THE WORSE we've seen, and yet the Govt talks about relaxing restrictions across the country.. how do we console ourselves with this fact..
I think doctors are busy helping pts with covid in hospitals.. u know.. since no one bothered to rectify the
#doktorkontrak
issue.. u did let thousands quit KKM.. 🤷♂️

Saya umumkan cuti kecemasan kepada semua kakitangan awam yang terkesan akibat bencana banjir.
Untuk kakitangan swasta, syarikat disarankan memberi pekerja cuti berbayar atau “paid leave”, dengan tidak menolak peruntukan cuti tahunan dan gaji mereka.

4. With a spike in cases.. ALL emergency cases are now going to screened before any procedure will be done for them.. even if it is a life saving one.. we know deaths from delays in presentation had spiked with the 1st wave.. probably gonna be the same again this time around..
I think its high time to start imposing harsher rules..

Apologies.. how is this going to help the current brain drain from the public sector again?
@DrDzul
@anwaribrahim
? In Singapore the wage gap between public-private is not huge that people opt to serve the public sector.. That needs to be addressed locally, alongside other issues
When babies, adults, animals die because of inadequate response to an emergency.. while the rich float around in 4x4 and helicopters to observe w/out landing a hand, we really need to sit down n ponder.. how did we get to this state

People need to remember that vaccination is the LONG TERM plan.. the effects of which will be apparent many many months from now.. to curb the rise i.e. the SHORT TERM plan is to PUT YOUR MASK ON, WASH YOUR HANDS AND AVOID SOCIALIZING UNECCESARILY..

Successful teaching is:
• 10% your expertise
• 30% understanding your audience
• 60% giving them space to speak
If your learners aren’t engaging.
It’s your fault, not theirs.
The only way to learn is to remain humble.. the worst way to learn is to deny others wisdom with your non-existent one.. not only would you have pissed the other person & never get taught, but you demonstrate how incompetent u truly are..
