THE HOTTEST, DROPPING LIKE ITS HOT NEWS FOR TODAY..

KUALA TERENGGANU: Trainee doctors will now get a day off after carrying out their 24-hour on-call duty.

Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the directive will take effect immediately.

He said it applies only to housemen on active call and at the hospital the entire time.

“We will not let these trainee doctors be overworked. We will look into their welfare,” he told reporters yesterday after visiting the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital.


Liow was asked to comment on grouses from trainee doctors that they sometimes had to work almost 24 hours and then report to their superiors the next day.

Some trainee doctors complained that they had to work seven days a week without a single rest day during their two-year stint in government hospitals as housemen.

Liow said trainee doctors should also be allowed to concentrate on getting the right exposure and medical proficiency by giving them off-days.

A trainee doctor at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital, who only wanted to be known as Sally, said she was relieved to hear that the ministry would look into their welfare.

“Frankly, we are very exhausted as we have to focus on our training and also carry out clinical rounds frequently,” she said. “It is stressful.”

Sally said she and her colleagues were unable to pay attention during their stints due to fatigue and time constraints.

On another matter, Liow said about 4,000 Chikungunya cases were reported throughout the country this year.

He said the virus was first detected in Johor and spread to several states, the latest being Kedah.

HURRAY!!!!...24hour day off...even if its a 6hours day off also i'll be jumping happily. yes, we work 24-7 and doubtlessly we are the group of people who contributes to tanjung rambutan residents. understood and fair enough, the workloads are crazy in government hospital but it will be useless still if we only work our ass off till it burns but we are not efficient at work. we do need rest.

work but no play make mr jack a dull boy.
doctor who works but no play make him or her a souless, unisel, insignificant being.
but doctor who play-play in work will cause life and get audited.
and doctors who only play but not work at all are fat, ugly, lazy old pig. (these are the kind of people who likes to escape from work and sleep during oncall).
so work really hard when you have to work, and play really hard when you have the time to play.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!!..(lets kayaking then.. huahahaha)



Chikungunya fever is a viral disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito.

The incubation period of chikungunya fever is usually 3-7 days. The symptoms are very similar to that of dengue, but unlike dengue, hemorrhagic or shock syndrome does not take place with chikungunya fever.

The infected person may experience the following symptoms:

  • fever
  • chills
  • headache
  • fatigue
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • muscle pain
  • rash
  • joint pain.

There are currently no medications or vaccines for the treatment of chikungunya fever. However lots of rest, a nutritious diet, plenty of fluids and mild pain medications may relieve symptoms of fever and body aches.
