Re: Reason for long waiting Qs for patient in Tan Tock Seng

if i may,

I would like to stand up and clarify matters for those who are not in this line of service.

I know people who are in the pictures and I used to be one of them
Credit must be given to those when is due and not to have critics like this

This is a typical Sum up round when individual team of doctors to go through their list of works need to be sorted and discussed on further managemet plans.
Yes, location might not be ideal but this is the only time that we have a break for a meal after starting work aas early as 6. Some Houseman will come in at 5 plus just to prepare for ward rounds and often stay til the night to finished off chores that is not done.
No one likes to leave handover to doctors on call as they willl be heavily swampped with workload, admission, surgeries etc etc...

For those twisted mind and says that Sg doctors can forgo having their meal time to save life and ONLY to do 24 hours call is really an insult to our trade.
Yes, You are rosterred to call for 24 hours but you only go home when your job is done the next day, A lot of people actually stay on to operate, work , presentation preparation to extend more than 36 hours.

If the guy who has racist remarks on commuters being stinky ..... this stomper should be equally be sentence as well

Anyway, doctors are humans.

Same as lawyers. We have clients calling us during public holidays or even at 2am saying "Boss, can come bail me? I now at CID"

My charges are $650 per hour or part thereof during official business hours.

After business hours and during weekends and public holdiays, my charges are double my per hour rate.

The above excludes GST.

If I am asked to travel, I only fly first class on Singapore Airlines because I can humblebrag and check in my FB status at the First Class Lounge and complain abt travelling for work

Re: Reason for long waiting Qs for patient in Tan Tock Seng

Hi I always wonder what is the purpose of that long White Coat the doctors always wear? Is that a uniform or for image or hygiene?

I always thought its for hygiene, but I always see young doctors wearing that to food courts and eating wearing it.... can't help it but think they are very yaya

Can somebody enlighten me pls thanks

Re: Reason for long waiting Qs for patient in Tan Tock Seng

housemen and grads wear them

The "confirmed" doctors dun wear them, only name tag and tie

Correction. Only med students wear them. It was a symbol of purity as a nobleman job but infection control and transmission of diseases via unwashed coat has made them obsolete. In UK, doctors have been issues strict orders on dress codes with no coats, ties, watches and supposedly bear below elbow policy. Like a f@+king communist.....
