Survival Tips for HO by Dr Har (continue with another 25 more)
sambungan revision semalam okes!
#26
Surprise those who look down upon you by exceeding their expectations. Impress those who think highly of you by exceeding their expectations too. Just do your level best. Be brave to take up challenge, be humble enough to ask for assistance and be ready to receive feedback.
#27
Do not allow self pity to consume you now. Never curse yourself. Regretting your life choice of becoming a medical doctor, feeling envious with those friends who are enjoying life, free to do whatever they like? well, I bet they're envious of you too, just hang on there, persevere and be strong!
#28
Admit your mistakes and try to redeem yourself. It takes a lot of courage, self-esteem and confidence to own up for your shortcomings. At the same time, do not boast around and inflate yourself. If you've really done good, let others acknowledge. You do not have to keep reminding others.
#29
Enhance your medical knowledge through revising textbooks or notes. *hmm okes, saya akan simpan buku2 medical banyak2 ni* Get answers to questions ASAP. Experience medicine with accurate knowledge/infos, not simply following orders like zombies-w/out critical thinking
#30
Let the deaths of your patients serve as a gentle reminders/tazkirah, that you will also face yours ,sooner or later *T___T this is deep* treat the dead with respect, whoever they were. Look at those cold, still bodies; now separated from their souls. Pray for them, convey your condolences to the mourning relatives. They'll appreciate that
#31
Keep in touch with your emotions, but avoid being overwhelmed. Acknowledge the anger, sadness, frustrations, sadness, frustration, confusion etc. Dont simply brush them off, but avoid being overwhelmed. Acknowledge the anger, sadness, frustration, confusion etc. Don't simply brush them off, what more trying to stifle them. Manage those emotion, ventilate! it helps clearing up minds and your lungs.
#32
Promise yourself that you're gonna make one person smile today! They might be your patient, colleague, MO, consultant, staff, spouse or parents at home.
Simple rule of life-if you wanna smile, make another person smile, if you wanna be happy, make another person happy, if you want to appreciate you, appreciate others first!
#33
Commit yourself to life long learning from your surroundings. Patients are your best teacher. Learn how they handle bad news, manage their emotions, ask for help and accept their fate. Despite all the pain & sorrow, they still tell you how much they appreciate what you've done for them
#34
Master the negotiation skills, otherwise life can be so inflexible and stressful. No matter how busy, they is definitely time for short prayers, quick meals, brief nap & shower time. The secret? Just know how to negotiate with people around you
#35
Start scribbling your life journal or log book. You're facing new challenges everyday, its too precious to simply let them pass by without any acknowledgement. Write down the lesson learnt *blogging hehehee* You will have to share those with others one day
#36
Agree to disagree, the best way to handle difference of opinions. Speak your mind out, share your concerns and input. Don't be a YES-man all the time, people won't notice that you exist! Learn to say, 'I beg to differ as the subtle way to say, ' No, i dont agree with you.
#37
Observe your consultants leadership style closely- emulate what is exemplary, avoid what is not impressive. Do not get involve in power play. Be principle-centred. At times you have to disagree with your friends if she/he is wrong and compliment enemy if she/he is doing the right thing.
#38
Be professional- simple term? Doing the right team when nobody is watching. 3 elements of professionalism- Self-protection, self-regulation, self-correction. You're expected to give your best and place patient's interest above self.
#39
Put aside some money for charity. For us Muslims, start saving for your Hajj pilgrimage. Make time to open Tabung Haji account, if you haven't done that yet. Share and be generous. Enjoy the good feeling of sharing your health with others.
#40
Try to perform one task extra than what is expected of you each day. This is avoid boredom out of routinized activities. How about volunteering to push the patient's trolley to the OT, buying lunch at the warung for the ward staff or helping a patient to the washroom?
#41
Ask yourself these questions time and again, 'Is this world a better place because I am around? Do I make a difference? Human beings need to have answer to those questions. Its our spiritual need :
self-actualization in Maslow's Pyramid on Hierarchy of Human need
aiming for Self-actualization level
#42
Always end your conversation with your patients with this magical question : 'is there anything else that you would like to know from me? So many questions can spring out from the patient's mouth-worries, concerns, and misunderstanding which need immediate attention and clarification. Now you know why so many patients did not turn up for their follow-up visits, ehhhh?
#43
Visualize whou you would be in 10 years time. Its not too easy to apply creative visualization techniques now. That's the first step towards your success.
#44
Keep holding to your principles, even when nobody seems to bother. Be the only one doing the right thing, tho' everyone else seem to favour and do the opposit. Truth will always prevail, sooner or later. You have to be a strong person to be a person of substance and intergrity.
#45
Be an outstanding team member. Always be helpful, considerate and committed. Be ready to take up leadership role whenever necessary. At the same time, don't be a bullied around. Defend your rights, stand strong on your ground. You'll be liked and respected!
#46
Convince yourself that you play a very important role in the healthcare system of the country. You might feel like a slave sometimes, being pushed around, instructed to do this & that. Just bear with those a little while more. You will soon transform to be a matured, experienced medical officer, in-charge of junior HOs who come after you.
#47
Think seriously about starting a family soon. Family commitment pushes you to another level of life and forces you to consider others in making decisions. If you're still looking for the right suitor, keep on praying. If you already have the potential suitor, just proceed making arrangement for a simple wedding. Let's continue with life, dont get stuck forever with your career.
#48
Clear up your mind, clear up your heart regularly and constantly. Spend your holiday in a quite, peaceful outdoor environment. Keep in touch with nature. Feel the magnificent power of God, the Creator around you. Remind yourself, how small, weak and dependent you are to God's help every second of your life. Pray, -O Allah, just don't leave me alone.
#49
Have a courtesy to meet and thank all your consultants, clinical specialist, registrars and MOs whom you have worked with, before finishing your posting in that particular department. Do not just disappear into thin air. Get them at the corridors, acknowledge their presence.
#50
Get use to the fact that 'Once a doctor, always a doctor' Internalize life-long learning commitment. You are allowed to add the title 'Dr. to your name, but be aware of the responsibilities that come with it. Prove that you deserve such a noble title to put in front of your own name
i'll revise this lesson once more when my time comes
Actually her piece of advise are applicable for daily living.
